Join well over 100 Sevierville Chamber of Commerce members for Coffee Talk on Tuesday, September 18, sponsored by Wears Valley Ranch. We talked with Lisa Radmore of Wears Valley Ranch and got the scoop on what to expect.

SCOC: What will you share with our members during this month’s Coffee Talk?

WVR: Our presentation will consist of a five-minute video, a short word from one of our recent graduates, Tiffany, and an activity led by our Recreation Director, Seth Houser, to showcase our ability to provide a team building experience on our campus for corporations and groups.

SCOC: For those who aren’t already familiar with Wears Valley Ranch, can you give them a quick overview of what you do?

WVR: For over 25 years, Wears Valley Ranch has offered a safe-haven for children whose families are in a crisis or a difficult situation. The Ranch provides loving homes and an individualized education for children ages 6-18. Located on 120 acres that adjoins the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the Ranch is an ideal location for children to learn about God’s creation and develop a work ethic that is lost among many of today’s youth. The Ranch is a non-profit organization that offers scholarships to children in need.

SCOC: Do you have anything special planned for Coffee Talk? Any surprises?

WVR: We are working with Tim Lawall from The Diner to provide a breakfast buffet. We have table & stage décor that will set a nature-inspired tone. We plan to have one of our books at each table for one person per table to receive.

We also have 2 grand door prizes: a 3-hour team building experience for up to 10 people and a selection of our grass-fed beef valued at over $100.
