The mountains are ablaze withflaming azaleas, lush green meadows and vibrant buttercups filling the fields. Spring is in full swing and the time to play in the great outdoors has begun.
Spring is the Highlander's favorite time of the year with fresh and new hope for the coming season. The joy of the season is upon us humankind as well as the animal kingdom as shown in the joyful faces of our K9 companions above.

Blue Ridge GA
May 2nd 2015
Blue Ridge Community Theater
Live Music is Better Concert Series
presents Gretchen Peters
Gretchen Peters is a Grammy nominated singer-songwriter from Nashville. Both her poetic language and the spare, evocative sounds she created in the studio to support her organic story-telling is brought to the live stage. Peters' own voice and guitar playing have been at the core of her music since she started performing in the Boulder, Colorado folk circuit as a teenager. Inspired by Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and a new generation of songwriters rising out of Nashville that included Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith and Rodney Crowell, Peters relocated to Music City in the late 1980s.
