A Word From the Owners —— CONTINUED —— fresh produce and herbs from our own garden. Our landscapers and chefs are in the process of adding two new gardens to the property that will provide the freshest ingredients for the dishes on our menu. The project includes a large vegetable garden across the street from the main property and an extensive herb garden located at the edge of the woods beside the front lawn. This summer we will take the dining experience to the next level. Westglow is involved in a number of events this spring and summer, both locally and nationally. In addition to several corporate retreats, bridal functions and parties, Westglow is a sponsor of the Appalachian Summer Festival, featuring headliner Wynonna Judd. In addition to our sponsorship, Westglow is hosting one of the festival events, an evening of dinner and jazz with Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers — an event that sold out after only a couple of weeks of ticket sales. The demand for tickets was so great that we were compelled to arrange a second show, which is already experiencing a flood of new ticket sales. Westglow also had the opportunity to sponsor an event on a national scale, the premier of the movie Georgia Rule this May. Georgia Rule, starring Jane Fonda, Lindsay Lohan and Felicity Huffman, is a tale of three generations of women and the unbreakable bond they share as the rebellious daughter/granddaughter spends a rehabilitative summer at her grandmother’s home. The star-studded premier held in New York was a benefit for the Women’s Media Center, an organization devoted to making women visible and powerful in the media. We are happy to announce that Westglow Resort & Spa has recently been accepted into the Premier Hotel and Resorts Program by Virtuoso, an exclusive network of elite travel specialists catering to connoisseurs of fine travel worldwide. Westglow is one of a select few spas to be honored with an endorsement by Virtuoso, and we are looking forward to welcoming our Virtuoso clients as well as all of our new and returning guests this summer. As we continue to invest our love and work into Westglow, it continues to grow and fill our lives with new joys and challenges. Along with our staff, we take great pride in Westglow Resort & Spa, and we would love nothing more than to share this remarkable place with each of you.
