Supporters of the Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont were invited to Marblegate Farm for a celebration and dinner al fresco. The evening was filled with cocktails and mingling on the Marblegate lawn, a seated dinner featuring regional fare, a curated auction and afterparty where guests danced the night away to the tunes of DJ Captain Ed. All funds raised will go in support of Tremont and their mission to deliver experiential learning for youth, educators and adults through programs that promote self-discovery, critical thinking and effective teaching and leadership
