Monteagle Chamber Hosts Fog Festival

Monteagle Mountain Chamber of Commerce will host its annual Fog Festival, Friday–Sunday, Feb. 14–16. During the Valentine’s Day weekend, there will be three days of activities, learning opportunities and open houses. Fog Fest signs will be outside participating businesses, and a complete list of activities will be available at each business location. Many activities are free, others are specials or at a discount. This is a partial list of events, so look for signs with pink and red hearts across the Cumberland Plateau.

Some of the weekend activities include: “Throw your own pot” at Hallelujah Pottery; SAS Players will present “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street”; story time, cookies and punch at May Justus Memorial Library; Louvin Brother Country Music Museum and Hamper McBee moonshine artifacts at the Smoke House; and bakery tours at Dutch Maid Bakery, Tennessee’s oldest bakery. Jim Oliver’s Smoke House will feature music by Travis Bowlin and Laurel Taylor with no cover charge.

Special displays include arts and crafts vendors in area banks (Citizens Tri-County Bank, Monteagle, and Citizens State Bank, Monteagle), antique tea serving pieces and place settings at Tea on the Mountain and an art exhibit at Christ Church. There will be special discounts and activities at the Monteagle Trading Post and Mooney’s Market and Emporium.

Many restaurants are offering special dinners, wine tastings and food discounts: Monteagle Inn & Retreat Center, Tea on the Mountain, Dutch Maid Bakery, Dunkin’ Doughnuts, and Harry and Ollie’s located in Pelham. Jim Oliver’s Smoke House will offer free samples of fudge and smoked meats.
