(Great Smoky Mountains) – Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont is celebrating 43 years of connecting people and nature on Sunday, September 16th, 2012 with their 6th Annual Homecoming dinner. The event will take place on Tremont’s campus from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. and includes dinner, entertainment, a silent auction and hands-on activities with Tremont staff.

During the reception, guests can listen to traditional mountain music from Lost Mill String Band, check out the various exhibits by Tremont’s education staff, and bid on a myriad of items in the annual silent auction.
