RUNNING WITH THE GOATS EVENT REPORTS

We have a post in pictures about the 1st Annual Run With the Goats races and festivities from Downtown.  However, there are other places in Elkmont with a report on what it was like from their locations.

Wow! It was a great day for our Town! We were busy from 6:05 am until 1:30 pm nonstop! It was so much fun seeing so many new faces and our regulars came to visit too! When the National Athem was sung, it gave me goose bumps and at that moment I felt like our little Town was about to change!!! We for sure need more happenings on Saturdays!!!

Running With The Goats.....what an exciting event! After talking with members of Town Hall, I decided to open very early ~ arriving at the store at 5:45am.  I had my first customer shortly after that, and the flow didn't stop until I closed at 5:30. So many new 'kindred spirits' discovering this special place - Elkmont!

Having worked for the USGA for years, involved in the organization of the US Open, US Women's Open and such, I was thoroughly impressed with the organization and success of this event. Kudos to Belle Chèvre and the town of Elkmont.

Have you discovered Kindred Spirits yet? We've been a venue for local artisans and crafts since 2011 ~ focusing on the creative talents of the folks in the Tennessee Valley area. We have everything from soap to farm tables made from local barn wood .... And everything in between! Our artists and crafters are passionate about their works, and it shows in their products. Stop by for a visit soon! We are currently open Thursday - Saturday from 9:30 - 5:00. (We will be adding more days soon.)

Thank you to all of the runners, volunteers, spectators and our generous sponsors for making the first Running with the Goats a roaring success! We couldn't have had such an exciting first run without your participation and hard work! See you all next year at the 2nd RUNNING WITH THE GOATS!
