I am so happy to announce, for the First Time.

North Mississippi Allstars will grace our stage. April 18, 2026.

I consider this a huge opportunity to come listen to a Group you might not know much about and “new” to our Wildwood Family of Artists.
Do your research.
They are pretty Darn Good!!!
This one is coming up soon, so don't wait.
And remember...
All Concert Lodging Reservations must be made by the end of December 31. Get 1 Special Sweatshirt
A 75.00 value in itself..!!!

“Thank you” to everyone who has already bought Christmas Concert Tickets. I hope you will as the shows come together. Still many more to come.

A Big Congratulations to "The Red Clay Strays" for winning at the CMA's
I remember telling you all how good they were... looks like everyone else figured it out.
They sent me a “Thank you” note the other day for supporting them and giving them hope.
They are the future!

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone. I hope you all are resting.

My Story.

The other day, I wanted to say I walked to the Boathouse, but to be honest, I am still having a really hard time walking; my left knee is still in quite a bit of Pain. But today it was much better. So I drove instead.
As I was pulling in, there she was, sitting on her favorite limb, proud and tall... looking everywhere all at once! Oh,
but wait, there are two! Huh, most interesting.
I got out of my truck and walked over to the Old, worn-out green bench; how it's still standing, I do not know. But it is just as strong as the day it was made. I sat and just gazed at the true beauty of nature and all of her surroundings. The Boathouse is a very special place to me, and honestly, to all those who have come to visit her.
You see, in Nature we are all the same, equal, innocent, naive, alone. You can feel the power it gives, and you can feel the warmth in your heart that we all need at times.

This past week, a true miracle was given. A life was born at 1.5 pounds. Her chance of living was very, very a minute-by-minute, only 23 weeks. But she knew already that she was going to be a Fighter in life... a Strong Spirit
in Soul.
The Road might have its bumps and bruises, but... she's alive.
An Alice in Wonderland!

I had a long conversation with a Friend this summer, we were down by the Yadkin Creek on the Beach (on one of our Airbnb properties). She had mentioned that she thought I should not be so Melancholy... maybe have a bit more spirit. I believe she said, just a little bit more alive.

Well, we all know that we are of the Age where things don't always go as planned, but to hear of a life, a child, a soul entering this world in such a not so good way... how can we not see those Eagles on the branches, looking over the river valley down below and not have all the Love and Cheer in our hearts? Here with a few, maybe a lot of tears of Joy dripping from our eyes, a feeling, the Hope in Life we all need.

Life is a trip of positivity! Say Hello to the World... Alice in Wonderland... Live!

It's now that time of year to bake those Cookies for your Neighbors.
They need that love from you... We all do.

Love to All..
Happy Thanksgiving
Safe Travels... and Love everyone you can..
Bob.

My Story

I am back home after an amazing trip. Slept a Lot, Had a few Lobster Rolls, and mostly just listened to the Waves crash up against the Rocks. I have been going to Maine to rejuvenate for over 20 years now, it is like my Home, and I even know a few locals.

The Air there is so different, a cool ocean freshness, hard to describe actually, but I long for it. On my morning walks, which were not easy, but I had my walking stick and I was able to walk along the Ocean. Cape Neddick, homes mostly all built in the 1890's, beautifully restored. But what I love more than anything.. Nobody is there, very quiet and peaceful. I sat on a bench for a while and just listened to Nature, Seagulls, waves crashing, ducks in the ocean, and lobster boats on their way to check traps. The sun was shining one day, I did see a few couples out with their dogs, there was even a lot of color left in the trees and Shrubs, The Lighthouse was beautiful as always.. I'll send a picture of it as well.


Nubble Lighthouse, also known as the Cape Neddick Light in York, Maine.

You know, I struggle with the Idea of retirement. I have always been a long day's hard worker, dreamer of ideas, and I really thought this year was going to be it for the Music Scene. Until you all came.. We all gather and enjoy a fantastic dinner, then find our seats and just simply enjoy an evening of musicians, making music. How fortunate can we be...? How much Love can the Grand Old Lady give..? Do you feel what I mean, The Love..?

I plan on getting back out in the woods soon and just watching nature, I have been hearing of a Family of Gray Foxes roaming around, the Mom and two little foxes. I hope to see them. I did get to rest, worked a little on the Music for next year, had a few really good conversations with a few Artists, Let's see what happens..

I love you all so much..
Thank You for supporting Wildwood
Bob

BTW... I am working on a True Love Story that happened at the Lodge. I am deep into the research.
As winter comes on, I am going to try to start writing a Chapter here and there.

*Make sure that if you make a reservation, you mention you saw it here on Facebook or Instagram.

In case you missed Wildwood's Newsletter:

Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder Return
Good Morning Everyone
That's right, Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder return, and better yet, at early pricing
with SRO prices as well, fewer seats and more room. This is by far one of my favorite
shows. Ricky loves the lodge, loves the Prime Rib even better!!!
He and the crew do a fantastic job, and Ricky knows we love unique shows, so he
always provides a special show just for Wildwood. Purchase your Christmas tickets now
and secure the best available seats. This is the only venue in the country that allows
you to be just a footwidth away from the artist.

Keep your eye on the Website as shows are starting to get confirmed. It should be in
just a few more weeks.

My Story

The Final night of a wonderful year.

"Bob ". The Grand Ol' Lady asked.

"Yes, my lady, how may I help you?" I replied."

"Everyone has left, my house is empty. Curtis turned off my water. The pool has been
winterized, and my rooms have all been cleaned. I'm so lonely now… What am I going
to do?". She stated, in a very sorrowful voice, almost crying.

"Rest, my Lady… rest!! ". I replied

"I need a lot of rest, my leg is finally healing now that I'm off of it." I said.

"Do you think everyone had a good time this year…? I hope so, I tried to give everyone
as much Love as I possibly could. I love everyone so much for coming back, and those
who came for the first time!" She replied.

"Yes, my lady, I think so. I hope so, too."
I smiled and said confidently.

"I'm not getting any younger, you know, Bob. But I'll hang in here, I'll hang in." She
cheerfully said!

"I will too, my Lady. I will too…" I cheerfully said as well!

"Goodnight, My Lady, it's time for me to rest..." I said as I started on my walk home.

I wanted to thank everyone who made the journey to Wildwood in 2025, our 25th
anniversary of the Fall Concert series. It was a special experience.

I love you all!
Come back in 2026, I'm going to try and make it even more memorable,

Bob

P.S. Thanks to our Staff, our IT guy, Rob, Merchant Guy Hollywood, everyone who has
helped this year, Rosie, Natalie, Leslie, Linny, Mel, Terry, Diane, and even "Lumpy.
