Our guests for Episode 69 are Karen Lusk (Owner) and Deann Gibson (Event Planner) of DuGaren Venues & Vineyards, a new social gathering and wedding venue located in Lincoln County.   

In this episode, Karen and Deann share the story of how Dugaren Venues & Vineyards came to be, the history behind how the land was purchased, the construction and design of the venue, how the buildings and land located within the venue will be utilized, and the future plans for the Venue. 

In addition, Karen shares the story behind how she and her husband, Doug, are the primary designers and laborers of most of the buildings located within the venue, talks about her passion for antiquing and finding that perfect design piece to complement the facility, and discusses the upcoming community-driven grand opening and a Vendor show that will help the Dugaren team form valuable partnerships with other local business owners.

And, Deann shares some very useful information about wedding venue planning, wedding ceremony & reception trends, the reasons for wanting to become a part of the DuGaren Venues & Vineyards team, and reviews the many local small business partners that the DuGaren team will be working with to create an amazing venue for any social gathering.  A list of some of these business partners are Albertine Florals, Gifts, and Wines,  Noble Artistry, Cooke Rentals, JP Photography,  Finishing Touch Bridal, and Atlas Flowers & More.
