Greetings from the mountains! What a most special time of the year we are embarking on! Please remember to pause during this special time and give thanks for the many blessings that we enjoy! We're truly surrounded by blessings everywhere we look and for all that God has blessed us with, I say thank you!

If your holiday travels will bring you to our beautiful corner of the world, please take a look at all the many great activities to supplement your schedule while you're here! By the way, if you're in Hiawassee on Saturday the 29th, join us at the Bank of Hiawassee for the lighting of the official city tree on the lawn of the bank at 5:30! What better way to kickoff the joyous Christmas season! Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!
