April 23, 2016 Foothills Conservancy hosted a celebration at Blue Ridge Distilling Company’s Camp Golden Valley in Rutherford County. The nonprofit celebrated 20 years of protecting and conserving 50,000 acres in the area. Guests enjoyed pizza and beer along with Defiant Whisky tastings, as well as hiking and paddling on the lake. The band BearWallow gave the evening an authentic bluegrass sound track.

Defiant Whiskey employees provided tastings and information.

BearWallow, winner of the 2015 MerleFest Band Competition, provided live entertainment.
