Blairsville, GA

On Thursday of last week, United Community Bank and the Owen Glen Sales Team announced a limited time opportunity to reserve up to 2 lots from a selected few at drastically reduced pricing. Owen Glen, an affordable Mountain Golf Community currently has lots available from $30,000. In addition to the low prices comes low financing rates. For a limited time, United Community Bank will be offering special financing of 2.99% on a 15 year Amortization with a 3 Year Call with 20% Down.

Owen Glen is located in the Beautiful North Georgia Mountains just minutes north of Blairsville, GA. It is a 350 Acre Gated Master-Planned Community. There will be Architectural Guidelines as well as protective Covenants and Restrictions. As of now those guidelines and covenants have not been finalized. They did mention that the Architectural Guidelines would favor "Mountain Traditional" but not leading to anything definite in plans. Home sites will be from 0.75 acres to larger 5 acres lots with golf, wooded and mountains views.

There are plans for several amenities for Owen Glen. The biggest of course is the Old Union Golf Course. This is a Denis Griffiths designed course, who by the way is the only American to design a golf course in St. Andrews Scotland. It opened in Summer of 2009 and I have had the opportunity to play Old Union and I can honestly say that it has the potential of being my absolute favorite course to play in all of North Georgia. It is a 7,667 yard championship length course, Par 72 with 5 sets of tees. There will be a practice facility with double tiered 400 yard grass range, two separate short game target greens, as well as a full putting green. The Golf Shop has plans to open by the end of 2009, but they are currently working out of a temporary trailer. There will be PGA Golf Professionals on hand to offer lessons and clinics.

Other amenities include miles and miles of walking and biking trails, trout fishing in Ivy Creek, and future plans of a picnic area complete with playground, pavilion, Owen Glen Community House, as well as tennis courts and a pool. Nearby you can enjoy Lake Nottely, Lake Chatuge, and Lake Blue Ridge. The North Georgia Mountains are full of hiking and mountain biking trails, charming historic towns filled with unique dining and shopping experiences, mountain streams and rivers for rafting and fishing, festivals and the list just goes on and on.

North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains | Blairsville, Georgia | Union County | Fatz Cafe


Today, the sun came out and the skies were blue again after eight straight days of rain. Torrential downpours at times with Ellijay getting as much as 4 inches in just a few hours. The North Georgia Mountain creeks and rivers were rolling for sure but we were more fortunate than our neighbors to the south and west of us. Paulding County for example, got as much as 15 inches of rain on Sunday alone. Areas that have never flooded, areas designated as not being in a flood zone flooded. My son's house had a near miss but a long time friend's house wasn't as fortunate. Neither house is in a flood plain.

I took a short drive to revamp my spirit and headed to Blairsville for lunch at one of my favorite places, FATZ. I make this 20 mile trip from Blue Ridge about once a week for the sole purpose to have lunch at FATZ. The drive is beautiful and FATZ has great food, a wonderful menu selection, comfortable ambience and the service is great so it's a nice all around quick trip to enjoy a leisurely lunch.

I arrived and was greeted in their usual friendly manner. My server came over and said his name was Sam and he would be taking care of me. I didn't know Sam, had never seen Sam before. Talk about exceeding all expectations and providing excellent customer service! Sam was friendly but professional, attentive but not overbearing, and I could just tell it was as natural to him to be genuinely courteous and caring as it was to breathe. Sam had a large party to serve and several smaller parties but everyone in his section got his undivided attention. I complimented Sam for his excellent service and other diners sitting nearby echoed my praises.

Sam, should you see this blog, thank you again for your exceptional service today. You helped me slow down and appreciate a beautiful, sunshiny day and reminded me of my own personal goal to provide exceptional customer service. You inspired me and renewed my energy. It's easy to see why FATZ is so successful because employees like you are an integral part to their continued success.

So, anyone living or visiting in or around Blairsville, treat yourself to dining at FATZ and maybe you'll get really lucky to have Sam serve you.

North Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains | Blairsville, Georgia | Union County | The Sourghum Festival

It's almost that time of year again! My favorite time by far. I love autumn in the North Georgia Mountains. The air is fresh and crisp and leaves explode with vibrant color against the blue mountain ridges. For me, it's the most wonderful time of the year.


In the evening, enjoy a warm fire and end the day with a feeling of pure comfort and joy. Yes, I do love autumn in North Georgia, and with autumn comes great fall festivals. Soon, we will be celebrating

THE 40^TH ANNUAL SORGHUM FESTIVAL

This is Blairsville's most famous event, taking place the 2^nd and 3^rd weekend in October. Locals and visitors come together to celebrate the rich mountain heritage of this quiet town. Sponsored by the Blairsville Jaycees, the admission and parking is free and will be held at Blairsville's Meeks Park starting at 9:00 a.m.

The Jaycees have sponsored this family friendly festival for 40 years.
