Time to Start Planning that Smith Mountain Lake Vacation!

Believe it or not we are just a few short days away from February! It seems like it was just last week we were enjoying the fun of the fall harvest! Now we are already turning a longing eye towards spring with summer just a few months away! If you want to visit Smith Mountain Lake this year, it is never too early to start planning! So here are some highlights of what’s coming up for the spring and early summer this year!


Make your reservations early for the ESPN Bassmaster Elite Tournament: Blue Ridge Brawl! The big event takes place April 15-18, 2010. Hotels fill up early for this one, so make your reservations soon! It is the “can’t be missed” event of spring! Weigh-in will be at the Parkway Marina in Huddleston, VA! And you might just hear more than just fish stories at the tournament! It was at the 2009 Blue Ridge Brawl the The Southern and Southwest Virginia Fishing Trail had its big premier!

Another event not to be missed is the 9th Annual Pigg River Ramble! Scheduled for May 14-16th, the weekend begins with a special Friday night fun float on the Blackwater River. Saturday brings the Pigg River race! You have to be ready for adventure if you are going to take on the 7 ½ mile race. There are no guarantees that you’ll make it over Pigg River’s well known “Ledge”! Great food and family fun will be abundant!

And of course we can’t forget Bluegrass Music! Festival in the Pines will be held April 28th through May 1 this year. Held at Triple Creek Music Campground, this event features some of the best Bluegrass music in the area. The festival is sponsored by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America and will be celebrating its 30 years history! So if it is a “toe tappin’- knee slappin’, get up and dance” vacation you are looking for, this one can’t be beat!

These are just a few of the highlights for our spring and early summer events! As we are fond of saying around here, come for a visit, if you like it then move here! If you are ready to enjoy life on Smith Mountain Lake, call Vicki Millehan! She is your local real estate expert!
