Coming in for the weekend and wondering what to do at Deep Creek? You’re already here and want to be in tune with the latest and greatest? The Deep Creek Weekly Round-Up is for you…
Weather, events, things to do, insider tips and info for February 15th-21st
THE WEATHER
SNOW IS COMING! We were put into a winter storm watch just this morning. I’m seeing talks of 4-6, maybe even 8 inches Friday night into Saturday morning!
20s and chilly for Saturday, 30s and sun for Sunday and Monday, then next week continues with more sun and 40s. Hard to tell how long the snow will last…
THIS JUST IN
There’s a brewery coming to Accident! Bar-B-Qed Beast has confirmed with me that they’re working on opening a brewery this spring! They’re going to keep me updated as they make progress.
The Root Cafe in Friendsville is now offering pizza on Fridays from 3 to 7pm!
THINGS TO DO
Ice skating at Grantsville Town Park – February 19th is the last day!
Paint some pottery at Deep Creek Pottery
Skiing, boarding and snow tubing at Wisp Resort – get your tickets now, it’s Presidents’ Day Weekend and there will be lots of people here!
Just over the county border – Western Maryland Scenic Railroad! I talked with Brett in marketing about how I might help them get the word out about their unique train experiences…mystery dinner rides, the ice cream train, the spring fling express…they’ve got a lot to offer! Depending on where you are in Deep Creek + Garrett County, MD, it would be a 20-60 minute drive to the Cumberland train station.

Scenes and thoughts from deep creek
Well hey now! I thought for sure it had been more than seven months since I blogged last! Wish I could do it more…and plan to as soon as the new JFP website comes out.
I’m not sure I’m starting anything consistent here, just sharing some random thoughts and scenes from Deep Creek on this random Wednesday…

Jessica is amazing and she made us feel so comfortable! Having her capture our wedding was like having my best friend with me for every moment! Jessica's photos are fun, whimsical, and sophisticated!
We are not a stoic couple and did not want posed (or trying-too-hard) photos! Jessica was able to capture our personalities and the elegance of the day! I can't stop looking at our photos!

The best decision I could have made for my wedding was hiring Jessica Fike as a photographer! I was in a wedding prior that she was a photographer for and seeing how organized and easy and strategic she was to work with is what convinced me! She makes you feel so comfortable and helps teach you how to pose and smile and look so natural! She keeps you on schedule throughout your day and captures so much emotion in her photos. She is worth every penny plus more!
