SUMMARY:Smoky Mountain Elk Fest – Returns!
DESCRIPTION:Step out of your end-of-summer rut and experience the Annual Smoky Mountain Elk Fest!  The third annual celebration of Elk in the Smokies  is a family-friendly event full of music\, entertainment\, craft vendors\, and educational demonstrations. You can expect to find lots of great food and drinks\, guided hikes\, creekside demonstrations\, wildlife artists\, crafts\, and kid’s activities. \nProceeds from the Elk Fest will help us raise funds for habitat maintenance and create other ways to keep our elk protected and happy. \nElk used to be abundant throughout the Western North Carolina mountains\, but by the mid-1800s\, the population was wiped out due to overhunting and habitat loss. \nAfter extensive research by the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Service and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation\, wild elk were reintroduced into the Cataloochee Valley in 2001. The original herd consisted of 52 elk\, and over the years their numbers have grown to more than 150. \nAs the elk population continues to grow\, though\, there are some interaction issues when the elk end up in places they aren’t supposed to be—for instance\, in our local farmer’s fields. Proceeds from the Elk Fest help us raise funds for habitat maintenance and create other ways to keep our elk protected and happy. \nFor more information visit https://visitncsmokies.com/smoky-mountain-elk-fest/or call 828-944-0761.

SUMMARY:Meadowlark Motel Live Music: Mike Ogletree
DESCRIPTION:The Blaxcotsman (aka Mike Ogletree) was born and grew up in Scotland. His mother was a Scottish woman and his father\, an African/American\, was from Birmingham\, Alabama. The blend of these cultural influences over time have given him a unique perspective on life and a singular approach to the art of music and what he contributes to it. His rather quirky origins give life to music with a difference\, a sound that is at once familiar yet different and new at the same time\, something that can’t be defined without first giving it a few listens.\nHaving spent most of his time fantasizing about\, or being\, a musician\, Mike has acquired skills and experience as a drummer\, percussionist\, singer/songwriter\, guitarist\, sound engineer and music producer. Throughout his career he has toured and recorded with some of the top performers in their fields culminating in his debut as a solo artist – The Blaxcotsman.\nWhile his current album\, Passing White\, is the best sounding introduction to his music\, Mike’s back catalog is also worthy of your attention. It includes a new take on the Simple Minds album New Gold Dream where he plays almost all the instruments and sings. As well as his first solo album “The Kilmarnock Edition\,” which includes his take on the works of the 18th c. Scottish poet Robert Burns.\nOverjoyed to be living and working in the USA\, a mere two hours drive from his Alabama family and a pond hop from his Scottish one\, Mike performs regularly as the “artist-in-residence” at the Meadowlark Motel. Join Mike for an evening of music accompanied by a delicious BBQ dinner. Tickets are $15 or $10 for music only.

SUMMARY:Steve "Piano Man" Whiddon With Angie Toomey
DESCRIPTION:Steve began playing piano at age 3 and there has been some slight improvement. After high school he performed in clubs\, restaurants\, honky tonk bars\, and anywhere else he could play for food\, tips\, drinks\, and various other  assorted methods of payment. He was even the organist for the Detroit Tigers for spring training games in the early and mid 90’s and never once caught a foul ball.\nHe later discovered that country clubs would trade meals and free golf in exchange for his musical services. Aha! Life was good! His waistline expanded but his golf game\nremained lousy.\nSomehow he found time to use what was left of his fragile brain to write some songs and then some more songs. Some rock\, some country\, and some nobody has figured out yet.\nIn 2001 Steve met Dave Magill\, a producer\, musician\, and studio wizard. The two hit it off immediately and started recording Steve’s songs in Dave’s studio. They continue to work together on many different projects.\nSteve lives in Maggie Valley\, North Carolina where he fishes\, hikes\, and loves the Smoky Mountains. His golf game remains the same.\n\nJoin us for an evening of live music with Steve on Thursday\, September 8 at 5:30 PM! It’s a free event\, with BBQ dinner available for $12. Cash bar is available as well. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Wilderness Survival Skills Weekend with Nancy East
DESCRIPTION:In today’s world\, you might forget that for all of history\, humankind has lived or journeyed into environments that require fundamental survival skills in order to flourish. Wilderness Survival (also known as bushcraft) is the ability to utilize natural and limited materials in traditional ways to stave alive and escape danger. \nIn modern society\, learning wilderness survival skills is not only important for the occasional forays into dangerous environments\, but also helps in building confidence\, self-esteem\, and instilling a sense of self-knowledge while re-connecting with nature and our human past. \nWhile we might not think we need wilderness survival skills if we avoid nature\, there are still instances where we might need to call upon them including natural disasters\, getting lost in the woods\, extreme shifts in weather\, accidents causing some form of incapacitation\, and many other unforeseen circumstances. \nTherefore\, it is prudent and wise for every human to have at least a rudimentary capability in the basic skills of survival to ensure their continued existence. These include the ability to: \n\nBuild a fire\nBuild a shelter\nTie Knots\nNavigate without a GPS\nApply First Aid\nEvaluate gear and supplies\nMaster the essentials of hiking and camping.\n\nThe MSMHC is proud to announce the addition of acclaimed author\, outdoor survival expert\, record setting hiker and elite Wilderness Search and Rescue Team member\, Nancy East\, to our roster of expert artists for our 2022 programs. Nancy will launch the spring hiking season with a presentation on Friday night\, March 18\, describing her adventures as a Search and Rescue member. On Saturday\, March 19 Nancy devotes an entire day to a variety of the above mentioned wilderness survival topics to ensure your safety\, comfort and enjoyment as you create memorable experiences hiking in the Great Smokies. \nSpace is limited to ten students to guarantee individual attention and Nancy provides all materials needed for event.
