Last night's Cavs and Community Concert at the Big Glades in the Town of Wise was an absolute HIT!

From the performances by the Jason Cale band and the Voice semifinalist Adam Bohanan to food trucks, games and the Powell Valley National Bank cash machine, it was a great night of music, fun and community!

Thanks to everyone (especially the Town of Wise!) who came out and made last night one to remember! Welcome Week just keeps getting better and better! 🤩
