Escape the Heat at Tweetsie


Summer's in full swing, and it is H.O.T. in the Queen City this time of year. If you're looking to escape the heat for a day or a weekend, you should definitely check out Tweetsie Railroad. Nestled in the beautiful (and cooler) mountains, Tweetsie offers tons of fun for the whole family. And coming up this weekend, in addition to all of the standard fun, SpongeBob and Patrick make an appearance at the park.

Make it a great week!

Blessings,
The Buzz
