The Duke Story

Road Trip, States, Tennessee


A couple of years ago when we were staying at this KOA, some folks staying near us told us about the fun they’d had at the Bush’s Beans Factory Museum. It’s been on “our list” ever since.

 The museum/visitors center shows a film not about Duke, the dog who knew too much, but about the history of the Bush’s general store and cannery business. There’s a virtual factory tour and many displays about the history of the mercantile and food industry over the last century and a quarter.

  

There’s a bit about historical preservation and a bit about needle crafts. Perhaps the most endearing part of this customer relations enterprise is that vistors get to go home with a photograph of themselves and Duke, the Bush family dog!

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
