BEAR PRINTS • SEPTEMBER 15, 2022

It has been a truly gorgeous week of weather at Bear Lake Reserve. With sunshine, blue skies, and comfortable temperatures each day, it's a great time to get outside enjoy the serenity of these peaceful mountains. It's also perfect weather for tailgating and football, which we're looking forward to this Saturday in Cullowhee. Check out our gameday plans and more in this week's Bear Prints.

   

Cheer on the Catamounts and Chef Santiago this Saturday

Join us in Cullowhee this Saturday as the Western Carolina Catamounts open their home football schedule versus Presbyterian. During halftime, the university will be recognizing our very own Executive Chef Santiago Guzzetti and his family for their contributions and impact on our local community. Be sure to cheer extra loud for Santi, Crystal, and their son who will be receiving the game ball!


 Thanks to the Catamount Club, we're thrilled to offer free tickets to all of our owners and guests as well as transportation to and from Whitmire Stadium for all of WCU's home games in 2022. We'll even have our own tailgating setup for all the pregame fun and festivities. To secure tickets and save your seat on the shuttle, email hannah@bearlakereserve.com

Brett Jones & Bobby Terry - October 13th

Did you know Bobby Terry has an impressive reputation for playing all of the instruments on almost every album he produces? He truly does it all, which has made him a highly sought after session player by stars like Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Montgomery Gentry, Lonestar, Trisha Yearwood, and Faith Hill. He is even credited as the solo producer and musician on Anthony Smith's acclaimed album If That Ain't Country. He's joined by Brett Jones, a legendary songwriter who has penned fourteen top-10's and seven #1's over the span of three decades. These two world-class musicians are sure to make our final Castle Session of 2022 a memorable one.

BearWise: What Bears Do in September

As the summer winds down, we'd like to thank everyone for diligently following our bear safety precautions. As this article from BearWise explains, bears spend September searching for as much food as possible.  Please continue to stay vigilant, lock your trash bins, and refrain from leaving any food outside or in your vehicles unattended as we begin to approach hibernation season.
