The 25th annual "Taste of Our Town" (TOOT) was held on Saturday, October 10, 2009, from 11:00 am-3:00 pm. This event is a benefit for Carnegie Hall. Residents and visitors from across the region gathered on the historic streets of downtown Lewisburg to sample delicacies from local restaurants, civic clubs and organizations.
The main street in Lewisburg and some side streets were blocked off for this annual event. This year, TOOT tokens had to be purchased, as the vendors did not accept cash in exchange for food. TOOT is fun for the whole family from....live entertainment, clowns, tasting foods, face painting, and so much more.
If you left TOOT hungry....well, all I can say is you missed out on some great foods and oh, so many different desserts. My husband and I have been attending the TOOT event ever since moving to Lewisburg in 2005....it is so much fun.
I found Jessie Pierson, Miss West Virginia USA - 2009, viewing some artist paintings at the Cooper Gallery. Miss Pierson is from Milton, West Virginia.
Hope to see you at next year's TOOT event.

Were does the time go - Christmas will be here before you know it. And, if you are looking for some luminous holiday ornaments, I know just where to go...... to the Greenbrier's "Christmas Depot Shop" in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
The Christmas shop opened at the Greenbrier in 1996 in a former historic train depot dating to 1931. The best thing about the Christmas Depot Shop besides the Christmas ornaments, collectible Santas, nutcrackers, water globes and holiday decorations, is that it is opened year-round. In each of the six rooms of the shop you will find beautiful decorated Christmas trees.
The shop, located directly across from the entrance of the Greenbrier Resort is recognized by the candy cane-striped posts and red and green Christmas-themed exterior. Not only does the Christmas Depot shine in the night with fairy-tale beauty during the holiday, it shines year round.
It still serves as a depot of sorts as the Amtrak Cardinal train continues to run by the Greenbrier three days a week. The first thing you will see when de-boarding the train is, of course, the Christmas Shop.
Stop by the Christmas Depot Shop and browse you may find some great holiday ornaments. Located at 315 West Main Street. White Sulphur Springs, WV.

Take the train, relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery I told my friends. And, that is exactly what they are going to do. My friends in Alexandria, Virginia, are planning to take the train from Union Station in Washington, DC, to White Sulphur Springs this Fall.
The Amtrak’s Cardinal Line originates in New York and goes to Chicago. The train from Union Station to White Sulphur Springs, WV, operates three days a week -- Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday (both east and west bound). Departing Union Station at 11:10 am, and arriving in White Sulphur Springs at 5:00 pm.
The Cardinal offers unforgettable views of the Southeast's stunning natural beauty. You'll see gently rolling horse country, the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley, and the wild white-water rivers of West Virginia as they can only be seen by train.
Choose a wide, comfortable Reserved Coach seat, or make reservations for Sleeper Service accommodations. Complete meals, sandwiches, snacks and beverages are served in the Dinette.
The train stops at 315 West Main Street, at the Christmas Depot Shop and right across the street from the main entrance of the Greenbrier Hotel. While waiting for the train or just arriving in White Sulphur Springs, be sure to visit the Christmas Shop. And, if you are not staying at the Greenbrier, stop for a meal or do some shopping.
The train fare for one way is $32.00 or $64 for a round trip fare. You can't beat the price. Think about it...it takes four hours to drive to Washington, DC. If you take the train, you can relax, eat, drink and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Your WV Real Estate Connection for Lewisburg, and all the Greenbrier County. As your agent, I will always be committed to putting my professional image, reputation, & business ethics to work for you.
Lewisburg WV real estate agent in Lewisburg, West Virginia with Coldwell Banker Stuart and Watts - In 2004, my husband and I were in West Virginia attending my nephews wedding. Afterwards, he suggested we drive to Lewisburg and checkout the area for a possible retirememt area. Well, we fell in love with this quaint historical town. We found a lot in Greenbrier Pines Subdivision, about a mile from the town of Lewisuburg. We purchased two lots for building our retirement home.
In 2005, while working and living in Arlington, Virginia, my husband and I started building our house in Lewisburg. We drove to Lewisburg every weekend during the building phase. We enjoyed getting out of the city, not to menton the traffic.
We stayed at the James Wylie House in White Sulphur Springs, and also at the Brier Inn in Lewisburg. At the James Wylie House, the owner of this Bed and Breakfast made us feel like we were family. The Brier Inn was closer to our building site, and also made us feel right at home.
Of course, the Greenbrier Resort is only ten minutes from Lewisburg. In 1778 (that's right, 1778), guests started flocking to the idyllic White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, resort for the supposed curative effects of the spring of sulphur water. Today, The Greenbrier is known for its golf, spa, and fine dining, not to mention loads of family activities like hiking, pony rides, kayaking -- even falconry! A four-and-a-half-hour drive outside Washington, D.C.,
The best thing about living here in Lewisburg is the people. Everyone is so friendly! I remember going into Cooper Art Gallery and being invited to their Friday evenings get together. We were told the best places to eat, best sites to visit, information on the Greenbrier Valley Theater, Carnegie Hall events, and so much more. We looked forward to going to Lewisburg every weekend, and we started to say "we are going home this weekend". Because, Lewisburg had become our home even before our house was completed.
The people are the best thing about Lewisburg. People will stop and let you get ahead of them in traffic. Strangers will smile at you. This hardly ever happens in the Washington DC Metro area. I remember the first weekend in Lewisburg, walking around the quaint town, strangers would smile and say "hello". The first Friday of each month, the stores are opened until 9:00 pm. One weekend, my brother was visiting from Tennessee, and since it was First Friday we went to town. He was astonished at the many people walking around in town after dark. Couples going to the theater or dinner, singles at the Irish Pub or Martini Bar, or couples pushing their babies in strollers browsing through the shops. He still visits us about once a month, as he loves Lewisburg.
Come visit Lewisburg...... You will absolutely love it here!
Greenbrier Valley is a region of diversity, from peaceful farmlands and historic towns to raging whitewater rivers. Resorts, outdoor dramas, parks, natural wonders and amazing engineering feats will entice you to this busy area.

There are incredible state parks, adventures awaiting on the mild or wild whitewater of the region and hiking and biking on rail trails or on the backroads and forests of your choice.
