Arts, crafts, music … and bacon
Tamarack offers additional reasons to visit. A dinner the-
ater series runs from late June to mid-October, and this year’s
schedule includes “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “One Flew Over the
Cuckoo’s Nest” and “King Lear.”
And when the breakfast buffet nourishment is long gone,
groups can think about food again in connection with Tamarack’s
Culinary Dinner Series. This summer’s once-a-month evening
events focus on wine pairings (July), farm-to-table (August) and
New Orleans-style seafood (September).
New this year is Hands-on Tamarack, a program of intimate
instruction in the arts, with classes ranging from woodwork-
ing and jewelry making to pottery and culinary arts. The
sessions are taught in on-site studios that were renovated to
accommodate instruction.

Located beside Beckley on Interstate 64 in the Appalachian
Mountains of West Virginia, Tamarack is the nation’s first retail
showcase for West Virginia handmade goods and art. The facility,
with its striking, peaked red roof and attractive grounds, opened
in 1996 and added a conference center in 2001. It was another
addition, though, that led to a change of operations at Tamarack.
“We added an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, and it has
been really popular,” says Norma Accord, marketing manager.
“We had been limiting our hours during the winter because of
reduced visitation, but this past winter we maintained regular
hours to accommodate the breakfast crowd.”
After guests have sampled farm-fresh eggs, bacon, pan-fried
trout and biscuits and gravy (for about $10), they can browse
through Tamarack’s artisan-made specialty items: jewelry, pottery,
furniture, outdoor décor, musical instruments, foods and candies,
and a variety of fine art and crafts. Groups can also tap toes to live
music and visit art galleries, including an open-air exhibit space.
Retail products made by local artisans
include apparel, furniture, crafts and fine art.
