This is the last of our posts about Maryland Travel and Tourism Week. We are so appreciative that you stuck around to hear about all that Turf Valley Resort has to offer.

The pandemic has hit our industry the hardest, and it will take the longest for us to recover. With your support, we will bring this industry back, one vacation at a time! Turf Valley Resort has an on-site restaurant, Alexandra's American Fusion, which is open for all meal periods, 7 days per week. Executive Chef Brandon Wean has led our culinary team to create remarkable dining experiences along with General Manager, Steve Smith.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR! Between weddings, romantic getaways, and couples massages, Turf Valley Resort has something to offer for all lovers! Why is Maryland Travel and Tourism Week Important? Recognition - The Tourism industry has been hard hit during the pandemic - this means that this should be a perfect time to shout from the rooftops that tourism is important. Reconnecting - As the silver lining of the vaccination and lower positivity rates continue suggesting that persons start planning time out of the home "time for someone else to make the bed"; "time for someone else to bring dinner to my table" and time to enjoy those things that have been on pause.

Localized events are presented in cities, states and travel businesses nationwide to champion the power of travel. It was established as National Tourism Week when the U.S. Congress passed a joint resolution in 1983 designating the week to be celebrated in May. In a White House ceremony, President Ronald Reagan signed a Presidential Proclamation urging citizens to observe the week with "the appropriate ceremonies and activities."

Planning during the pandemic has been a challenge, to say the least! We've been hard at work modifying our protocols and adapting to "new normals." In order to continuously improve, we asked for feedback from our clients. This is what Amy had to say about hosting her event: "I would highly recommend hosting an event at Turf Valley Resort now (amid the Pandemic) or anytime in the future. The team has went above and beyond the CDC recommendations for health and safety while still maintaining the excellent quality of service they are known for. It has been my pleasure to host multiple events at Turf Valley during this Pandemic and reassuring to hear all the positive feedback from our attendees. Many of whom entered with heightened anxiety only to find themselves comfortable and at ease during their multiple day stay." Thank you to Amy and the rest of our clients who have felt comfortable enough to safely gather during this time!

#TBT -- This drawing is one of our original ads from 1979. Although much has changed since the time of this drawing, our intentions will always remain the same; to be the best place to stay, play, relax and dine in Howard County. The area pictured here is what we refer to as our "banquet entrance" - and we've been using it since long before this was drawn! Even before we built the hotel in 1988, we were hosting events, weddings and golf outings in this space since the 1960's. We know the reason for restricting events puts the health and safety of our guests first, but it is hard to not have these halls full of music, dancing, laughter and memories. Cheers 🥂 to memories made in 2021, we hope we are a part of them with you!

🏈 SUPERBOWL CARRYOUT MENU 🏈 Place your order by Friday @ 4pm by calling 410.465.1500, extension 2228. Pick up is Saturday between 1-2pm.

We're back again this Saturday with another fun fact about swans. They are very territorial during mating season. Swans have a reputation as aggressive and territorial, and there's no time of year they exemplify this more than during their breeding season. Swans - especially mute swans - will chase away perceived threats to their nests by hissing, flapping their wings, and swimming directly at their rivals. Also, Did you know? Swans are relatives of geese and ducks! Take your picture of Victoria, our resident swan, and share with #SwanSelfieTVR for your chance to be featured!

Congratulations to our very own, General Manager Pete Mangione, for being recognized as a recipient of an honorary associate of arts degree from Howard Community College! 🎓 Pete is the humble type, so we don't want to embarrass him too much! But during these challenging times, it's refreshing to have strong leaders guiding our business and we are lead by some of the best, including Pete. He quoted the HCC motto in his acceptance speech (which was very small); he said "You Can Get There From Here." HCC is a staple in our community, empowering young professionals and making Howard County the best place to live, work, stay and play. 📜 Congrats to the other graduates. Studying during the pandemic was not easy, and entering the workforce now will also not be easy. Trust in the process and we agree, "You Can Get There From Here."

This year, we want to sprinkle a little ⭐J O Y ⛄ Because of You, We made it through! Wishing you Happy and Safe Holidays, From Your Friends at Turf Valley Resort! We made a special playlist just for you - follow this link to listen to some of our favorite holiday tunes on Spotify! https://spoti.fi/2LDGYAZ

The weather is cooling down here in the Chesapeake region and we aren't mad about it. In fact, neither is Victoria, our resident #TrumpeterSwan. Here's your fact for the day: Swans mate for life ❣️ At around the age of 2-4 years, swans choose a mate which they will generally remain with for the rest of their lives. In some cases, however, they will choose a new mate if their partner dies or if they are unsuccessful at breeding. We are hoping this will be the case when we find another partner for her this coming spring! We've always loved that the swans live in the pond that is just beyond our outdoor wedding venue location, because they are symbolic of life-long love, standing the true test of time. What a better backdrop for a beautiful wedding than a pair of swans that have mated for life. Bring your significant other to visit Victoria, and see if she can teach you a thing or two about mating for life 😊 Take your picture of her and share with #SwanSelfieTVR for your chance to be featured!

This is hard news to share. A dear friend and former employee of Turf Valley Resort, Francis Moats, was taken from this world last night after a valiant fight with cancer. At the young age of 36, Francis achieved so much in his life. He was a bright soul who brought a smile to your face, as he worked in several departments here, including Alexandra's Kitchen, Maintenance, and Grounds. Always a helping hand, he will be missed beyond words. This photo was taken at our Hot Air Balloon Festival back in 2015, and we think his smile says everything right here. In the words of Leonardo DaVinci, "Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you long to return." Fly high Francis, we will keep a piece of you here in our hearts with us. 💚

This photo was taken on our Hialeah course this past week by one of our golf members - what a stunning view! We hope you experience the tranquility that nature provides during this season of life 💚 🌱 🍁

Congratulations to Lenise Saint-Vil, who became a US Citizen on October 13th!! She came to the United States in 2007 and her goal was to go to school and work to learn and practice English.

Congratulations again! #HospitalityStrong

We can't wait to see you on the links ⛳️ tomorrow! This has been a long road and we aren't yet even started with phase one of Governor Hogan's plan to #reopenmaryland. It sure does feel good to know that it will be sunny + 60 tomorrow and we will be seeing some of our members faces, socially distanced of course! Just a reminder that golf members should check your email inbox for more details 📧 on getting your tee time! 😍👌🏼

As the sun sets we remember the beauty of our resort 💕

Today would have been our 13th Annual Pretty in Pink Champagne Ladies Luncheon. Here are a few of our favorite images throughout the years, and some highlights: 🌸 100+ Models who have given their whole heart to building relationships with other survivors from the Claudia Mayer / Tina Broccolino Cancer Resource Center at Howard County General Hospital 🌸 A special appearance from the Easter Bunny, The Pied Piper, Cherry Blossom Princess, & others! 🌸 First Lady Yumi Hogan as a model in 2016 🌸 30+ Trees donated to support Blossoms of Hope 🌸 Hundreds of vendors, representing small businesses throughout the state 🌸 Dozens of volunteers who have poured their whole heart into building this community of supporters These are just numbers, but what they represent is something much deeper. We've watched countless relationships foraged, contributed to a great cause, had many laughs (and tears), and we truly can't wait to have you all back again for Pretty in Pink 2021!
