Last year’s farm-to-table breakfast fundraiser was so successful, Carter County Tourism isn’t just looking to bring it back this year, they’re looking to expand it to include a farm-to-table dinner as well. The tourism board discussed these plans, including possible beneficiaries for the 2024 event during their regular monthly meeting on Monday night. While many organizations were discussed, the consensus seemed to be that they would like to focus on meeting the needs of the county’s children this year – and that one of the best ways to do that was to work with the Youth Service Center’s in each of the schools.
The group also discussed partnering with the Grayson Chamber to take advantage of the free web hosting their new provider is offering for the next year to folks who take advantage of the Chamber’s network.
The board also moved to sponsor $3,600 of the costs for entertainers associated with the “old time dinner theater” event at Carter Caves State Resort Park in February.
The also discussed other upcoming events at the park such as the Winter Adventure Weekend, which takes place the last weekend of this month, and the installation of a new professional level, 18 net, disc golf range on the park grounds.
That course has the potential to draw disc golf tourists, and tournaments, as well as potentially benefiting any future school teams participating in the sport.
