“Taste of Tennessee” hits Killington Feb. 23-26

For the past 20 years Lynchburg, Tennessee has invaded the "Beast of the East" and brought the "flavor" of the south here to Vermont. This year that tradition continues as Jack Daniel's and all of his friends come to Killington for the 21st Annual Taste of Tennessee Ski Week.

It is a week filled with special Jack Daniel's sponsored events, contests, prizes, games and excitement and almost every restaurant and tavern on the mountain gets "in the spirit" when Jack stops by for his yearly visit. This year the Taste of Tennessee Ski Week is being held Feb. 23-26 with games and activities all weekend long.

From the Jack Daniel's Winter Olympics at the Grist Mill pond, to après-ski "iPad Jack Attack" parties, Jack Daniel's is everywhere around Killington and you'll want to be sure and find him.

The highlights of the week include the restaurant contests which include the "Dine Around Town" entrée contest, the "Paint the Town Jack" statue decorating contest and the Killington Bartender's Drink Competition at the Outback Pizza where contestants vie for the top spot by incorporating Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey into their creative and delicious drink recipes.

A complete calendar of the weeks events can be here in Mountain Times next week and can be found posted at almost every restaurant in Killington. Event participants must be at least 21 years old.
