The Maggie Valley Festival Grounds were busy all day as set up was underway for WinterFest Smoky Style. Of course, for us, that meant we are settled into our S-RV and are getting ready for the big day.
Resting up in the S-RV.
Timbers were delivered for the National Champion Haywood Community College Timbersports Team Demonstrations.
Work crews were busy laying out the sled dog course.
Dan Rehak and his team tested the Sled Dog course.
Media interviews were being conducted.
Though we all know who the media really wanted to meet – the working dogs.
Our Opening Night Dinner featured Sgt. Brandon Gilmore explaining the training and work of law enforcement K-9’s.
Saturday is the big day and we hope to meet many readers from this area. Festival gate fee is only $2 for adults and $1 for children and all of those gate fees benefit the Friends of the Haywood County Animal Shelter.
Come on out if you are within driving distance!

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way
