This episode showcases:

• Hagy's Catfish Hotel, a historic family-run restaurant serving Southern cuisine on the banks of the Tennessee River

• The American Eagle Foundation in Kodak, Tennessee. Jessica Hall, the Executive Director of the foundation, talks about their vital work in conserving and protecting American bald eagles, highlighted by appearances of their well-known eagles, Lincoln and Challenger, at national events.

• Also, we recommend three great indoor experiences to enjoy in Tennessee during winter — King's Dining and Entertainment in Franklin, The Discovery Center of America in Union City, and Xperian in Sevierville.

Winter Wonderland is a massive group trail ride happening this weekend at Windrock Park near Oak Ridge.

Sean Clark is the lead guide for Venture Unknown, the company hosting the event. He calls Windrock Park "off-road Disneyland."

Easy to see why .Windrock is the largest privately held off-road park in America. It sits on 73,000 acres and has about 300 miles of trails.

I'll also bring you some selections from the Winter Issue of State & Beale, including our gift guide and tell you why the Tennessee State Capitol Building has tombs.

In that issue, you'll find my great conversation with Tennessee musician, Drew Holcomb. We talk about his new record, "Strangers No More Vol. 2" and the success of "Strangers No More Vol.1." We also talk about Tennessee state pride and his anthem (and love letter) to the state, a song called "Tennessee."
