Highlighting Our Home: Oak Hill

Day One

We started our shoot off at Blooms by Bessie’s. There we met one of the florists named Johnathan who put together a beautiful arrangement while we filmed the process. With a mix of roses, greenery, and daisies, it was really fascinating to watch a florist at work!

When we wrapped up at Blooms by Bessie’s, we headed over to the White Oak Rail Trail to get some bicycling shots and wandered our way into the Rail Trail Expo. We got to check out a number of the vendors and watched a young family get their face painted.
Then it was over to The Frozen Barn for some ice cream. Frozen Barn Employees Madison, Grace, and Bethany showed us all of the ice cream options and how they make their own waffle cones. (The JJN crew might have taken a quick ice cream break and taste-tested a few of the flavors once we were done getting the footage.)

After a quick drive around town getting shots of the Oak Hill carved bears, the JJN crew decided to take a little unplanned detour and checked out all of the notable Hank Williams-related locations in town. Our videographer Seth did a little research and we stopped by Skyline Drive-In, known as “Hank’s Last Stop”, and the memorial marker in front of the town library. We then headed over to Cafe One Ten for dinner and to get some shots of their amazing meals and ended our day over at ACE Adventure Resort. First we filmed the Hayslette Family hiking around the property and checking out the overlook. 

Over at Mountain Music Festival, we got some great footage of the musicians and performers that were putting on one heck of a show! Between fire dancers, stilt walkers, and live music – it was an awesome event!
