BEAR PRINTS • SEPTEMBER 29, 2022

We've reached the end of another marvelous month on the mountain. It may be hard to believe we're nearly 75% of the way through 2022, but time flies when you're having fun! While there's plenty more fun to be had in the coming weeks and months, our focus has shifted to safety this weekend as remnants of Hurricane Ian are expected to sweep through our community. Check out our latest updates below in addition to some of the exciting events and activities we have planned in the near future.

   

Inclement Weather Expected from Hurricane Ian

Our hearts and thoughts are with all of our homeowners, friends, and family members who have been impacted by Hurricane Ian in Florida. As the storm moves up the coast, our team is diligently preparing for the arrival of rain and wind gusts throughout the weekend. We’ll have crews driving around the property checking for downed trees/power lines, flooding, and other potential hazards on our roads and near our homes. If you’re staying at Bear Lake Reserve this weekend and would like us to check up on you throughout the weekend, leave a comment under this post or send a text to 828-508-8042.

Castle Sessions w/ Brett Jones & Bobby Terry - October 13th

Our final Castle Session of 2022 is just two weeks away. Join us for one last incredible evening of live music, storytelling, mixology, and culinary artistry with Brett Jones and Bobby Terry.


Did you know Brett Jones decided to sail away to the Florida Keys in the middle of his career? Fresh off of a #1 hit with Andy Griggs' "You Won't Ever Be Lonely" in 1999, he set sail in 2000 before returning a few years later with newfound purpose and another child on the way. He didn't miss a beat, either, as he went on to pen many more chart topping songs in the years following. Wondering why he went on such a long pilgrimage and what he discovered along the way? You'll have to join him at Castle Sessions to find out.


 Head to castlesesssions.com to secure tickets, and use promo code HOMEOWNER for $50 off each ticket. Need transportation? We’ll pick you up! Email shuttle@bearlakereserve.com to be picked up at the Lake Club or Greeter’s Cottage. Be sure to like the Castle Sessions Facebook page for updates, videos, and more great content from our artists.
