Dear Citizens and Friends of Gate City,

WOW!!  Our events for the year have gotten off to a great start!!  On Saturday, May 21st we had the first annual “Gravel at the Gate” 50-mile bike ride.  We had 27 riders from the SWVA and NETN area.

Saturday, May 28th we had our first Jeep Jamboree.  What an amazing event!!  We had over 80 Jeeps on display plus many who drove their Jeeps to event.  We had many other activities associated with the event so there was something for everyone.  I would like to thank the many vendors who participated helping to make the event even more exciting.

Gate City Frontier and their volunteers have done a fantastic job in putting together our first couple events and can’t to experience the ones planned for the next few months!!  There are so many other wonderful events scheduled throughout the summer.  Checkout the Gate City Frontier Facebook page for information.

With everything that is available in our local area there is something for everyone in the family to enjoy.  So, with the price of gas and so many great things in our area to do there is no need to travel far away for a fun time!!  If you really need to leave the house then stay in one of local beautiful bed & breakfast!!

If you are looking for a place to expand your business take a look at Gate City.  We still have a couple of great locations in our historic downtown area that may need a little TLC but just might fit your need!!  Come give us a look!!  Younger couples are moving into our town and would love food/entertainment opportunities here instead of having to drive to Kingsport or Johnson City.  I think you will find the ingredients here for a successful business.

I invite you to come and discover the charm and fun that is Gate City !!  It is becoming the destination place !!
