A Blue Ridge Mountain Brunch

Saturday, April 26, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm

The Musical Feast Committee invites you to enjoy a special Blue Ridge Mountain brunch when the mountains are bursting in the splendid colors of Fall. The picture was taken from the deck of our hostess, at the highest point of the Givens Estates. Use your imagination to add the magnificent colors that will transform the view that includes Mt. Pisgah in the mountain chain. You will be treated to a traditional mountain brunch with items such as country ham biscuits, grits casserole, egg specialties, and pastries. Bloody Marys and Mimosas will be offered along with coffee or water as preferred. You will be invited downstairs for mountain music entertainment. You may even be offered the opportunity to sing along to some well-known mountain tunes. It’s a lovely way to begin your Saturday morning.
