FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Press Release) – Dec 23, 2010 – McHENRY, MD. – Ridgeview Valley, Deep Creek Lake’s newest lifestyle community has found a way to give back to their local community even in rough economic times. Ridgeview Valley is located at the end of Gravelly Run Road, just north of the Rt. 219 Bridge which crosses Deep Creek Lake in McHenry, Maryland. This historic property is graced with a beautiful big red barn that was built in the early 1800’s and has needed very little in terms of refurbishing, really only a coat of fresh paint. Adjacent to the barn is a lovely hillside which has been terraced to create an outdoor amphitheater. From dairy cows to the good times ahead this barn breathes the history of the land. The amphitheater is the perfect location to enjoy family and friends while gazing at the stars and listening to your favorite performer. Ridgeview Valley has become a preferred location for special cultural events, such as performances by Theatre on the Lake and The Annual Garrett Mentors Barn Dance, as well as private parties, weddings and family reunions.
All events held at the Barn at Ridgeview Valley are by or for a charity or non-profit, and proceeds from each event benefit the charity or non-profit entirely. In lieu of a facility charge, those holding private functions are asked to donate to a charity of their choice.
The summer of 2010 has been very active. Paul and Jennifer Allsup of North Carolina started the summer season with their wedding reception on May 1st and chose Landon’s Library and HART as their charities of choice. Maurice and Leah Izzard of Washington, D.C. were married and enjoyed their reception in the barn donating to Brain Cancer Research. The Graves family chose Ridgeview Valley as the destination for their family reunion, which is held every 3 years somewhere in the United States. Approximately 130 people attended leading to a donation to the Allied Defense Fund. Tim & Jordan Burke of Wisconsin celebrated their special day with a Celtic wedding donating tp Garrett County Humane Society. JC & Sarah Barker of West Virginia exchanged their vows on a magnificent fall day in October, donating to Terra Alta Volunteer Fire Department. Kyle and Rachel Graser of Virginia also were married on a beautiful fall day in October and chose Bully Paws, a pit bull rescue organization as their charity of choice.
For their second year at Ridgeview, Theatre on the Lake performed “Little Shop of Horrors” and “Children of Eden”. Garrett Mentors sold concessions at “Children of Eden” to promote their 2nd Annual Barn Dance, which was held in the barn on September 18, 2010. Plans are already in the works for the 3rd Annual Ridgeview Valley Barn Dance to benefit Garrett Mentors. Coldwell Banker Deep Creek Realty sponsored a free kid’s carnival day that had about 200 in attendance. They had fire trucks, games and free giveaways for the youngsters to enjoy. The final event of the season was a barn dance for members of the Jehovah Witness Hall of Oakland, MD.
With this clever way of giving back to the community Ridgeview Valley offers brides a unique venue that allows them to personalize their big day, while helping their favorite charity. This season Ridgeview has supported donations of over $2,500.00 to various charities.
The sense of tranquility that you will find in Ridgeview Valley will make you feel like you are already home. This planned village-style residential community. is situated on some of the most scenic acreage in Garrett County and offers a multitude of amenities such as hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing trails, and of course our beautiful old barn for community events, with its adjoining amphitheater. Future plans call for a community center with an indoor swimming pool and fitness center, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, a multipurpose field for soccer, football, and baseball, and various playgrounds.
