Get ready for the ultimate getaway! It’s time, once again, to unplug the clocks and stop this life from moving so fast. I’m thrilled to invite you to the second annual “Slow The World Down Weekend” at Windy Hill Farm and Preserve in Loudon, TN, August 1st through 4th, 2024. The “Slow The World Down Weekend” is an all-inclusive concert vacation, featuring 4 days and 3 nights of fun, food, and music, set in one of East Tennessee's premier boutique resorts. We’re taking the magic of last year and turning it up a notch by adding an extra day and even more activities and experiences, shared up close and personal alongside me and my family! This special weekend is all about taking a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoying an opportunity to unplug, unwind, and SLOW DOWN. What’s the vibe you ask? Well, think Upscale Adult Summer Camp...It’s a perfect blend of sophistication and summer fun! During the day, choose from a delightful array of fun activities curated by me and Mandy, designed to encourage us to hit the pause button on our busy lives. Join us for guided hikes, yoga, creative workshops, games, some fun by the lake at our first Loudon County Luau (don’t forget your Hawaiian shirts and grass skirts), and maybe even some unexpected surprises. But the real magic happens when the sun goes down. Evenings will be a celebration of the finer things in life. We’ll have fine wine and cocktails, a 5-course wine dinner, and gourmet farm-to-table dining experiences, where every bite is a revelation, and your taste buds will be doing the happy dance. And we can’t forget about the music! Thursday night, we’ll create our own soundtrack for the weekend with a karaoke party. Then on Friday, I’ll play an intimate, acoustic-unplugged performance, and Saturday will be a high-energy full-band show at the Granary stage with an opening set by a special guest. Accommodations at Windy Hill Farm include 9 cabins that offer guests a luxurious and secluded escape. Each cabin boasts floor-to-ceiling windows for stunning natural views, a cozy seating area, and a private deck or cuddle up in a cozy King-size room at the Lodge with incredible sunset views. Designed as an antidote to our fast-paced lives, the “Slow The World Down Weekend” isn't just a music festival or retreat; it's an invitation to take a deep breath, embrace the beauty of the present moment, and dance to the beat of the second hand slowly counting down. Whether you're outdoorsy, indoorsy, or just a music lover simply looking for a weekend getaway, this is the perfect place to be. Ready to join the fun? Packages go on sale Friday, December 15th at 10 am EST. To book your spot simply head to https://www.windyhillfarmtn.com/erick-baker or call 865-657-1700. We can't wait to see you there! Let's raise our glasses to savoring the taste of today, cherishing the simple joys of life, and celebrating the art of living down. Let’s Slow The World Down! Much Love, Erick
