This video collaboration with The Spirit of Suwannee Park was quite a treat. The Cornett family owns and operates the park and Charles Cornett gave us the grand tour. To say this park is unique is a huge understatement. What we knew of the park beforehand is that it hosted many music festivals and that it put together a Christmas light show every year. 

Located on the banks of the Suwannee River, the park consists of 800 acres of campgrounds, concert venues, recreational facilities, and forest. We had no expectations beyond that. We were in for surprise after surprise. We first saw the Campground. That was impressive all on its own. Then we got to see the beautiful Christmas lights display and browse through the craft village. There we met Mike and his dog Sammy. Mike creates beautiful wooden sculptures from fallen trees (with a chainsaw, no less). You see his amazing works sprinkled all throughout the campground. 

Charles then led us through the dark woods to meet Snorra of Suwannee and Rune's Tree. Two sculptures by Belgian Sculptor Thomas Dambo. This is the last place you would expect to see these pieces of art, and yet here they are, seamlessly incorporated into the landscape.

Then we were treated to Karaoke night and an Elvis impersonator in the music hall. 

We then got to see the treehouse that is a tribute to the Cornett family matriarch. Charles' mum, Jean, was very much a part of the creation of the tree house and her spirit lives on within its walls. 

Our special send-off was an intimate jam session the night before our departure. 

This park celebrates music, art, and a return to nature. We could easily have spent another week at the park and not run out activities. 

Don't forget to check out the bat-house which is home to over 450,000 bats of some 90 different species. You can see them at dawn and dusk. We will definitely be back sometime (hopefully soon).
