We will pay $100 for each week that is completed! Minimal research is required given that we already have most of the content available! We just need someone to put it together!

Yesterday's first food tour was a success! Thanks to Scott M. Anna, Josh Pritchett, and Cindi and Riccardo Rivas for joining us yesterday as our FIRST guests! From cold and frozen drinks to wine to pizza to chips and dip to drunken mushrooms to moonshine and mocktails, this group had a blast!

And thanks goes out to Cabin Coffee Co. - Blairsville, GA, Blue Ridge Olive Oil Company, Odom Springs Vineyards Blairsville Square, Lucky's Taqueria & Cantina, Pizza Belly, Vincent’s Coppertop Restaurant and Pub, and Grandaddy Mimm's Distilling Co. for hosting us as the first choices of the first tour! You all did a great job making this first tour a success!

We definitely learned a lot as a business for what we want to continue and want to change for these tours in the near future! So, if you do see some changes soon, don't be surprised! We want to make this experience as good as it can be and still have learning to do for an experience that is totally new to a place not so used to this kind of experience!

And for those wondering, our sole historical walking tour guide expert, James, could not make it due to a family emergency. Please keep him and his family in your prayers! Plus our owner was out of commission due to health issues of his own. So, if you're wondering why we weren't set up today, that's why!

Be sure to go ahead and plan a food or historical walking tour for you and your group of friends, co-workers, and family members for this next upcoming weekend! We hope to see you all soon!
