All veterans received a toast of Lucy Scars craft beer created by Currahee Brewing Company. The lodge also provided lunch for any veteran with an in-house delicious portion of their famous smoked wings.

The lodge was amazing with three rolling fires within the property to enjoy on this chilly fall day. From the stone fire place in the heart of the lodge, to the outside deck fireplace, and the bon fire pit, the attendees could always stay warm.
