The Welcoming Committee

Debra, Gene and Ginger at Greenbrier

Debra, our office manager, Gene, our “mud” man, and Ginger, a smooth-coat collie and Terressentials' adopted mascot, spent the spring and summer at Greenbrier State Park as campground hosts. Greenbrier is a densely forested park located along the gentle slope of South Mountain in Washington County, MD, not far from where we hand-craft our organic body care products. The park boasts a lake, beaches and verdant hiking trails including the Appalachian Trail, which winds its way through the park as it plods along one of the earth's oldest mountain ranges.

As campground hosts, Deb, Gene and Ginger greeted campers. This is where Ginger excelled, especially with children. She mingled and reveled in the attention and petting bestowed upon her by campers as information about nature programs and campfires was exchanged. Later, as the hosts made their rounds in their handy golf cart, everyone waved at Ginger. Ginger was a celebrity and brought lots of smiles whenever she rode by in regal fashion.

After a short vacation, the trio is back at Greenbrier and is hosting campers once again. There are still a few camping weekends left this fall. Do try to make some time to come for a visit and view the beautiful, fiery leaves reflected in the calming waters of Greenbrier lake, take a hike in the quiet woods, and, of course, meet Ginger, Greenbrier's canine celebrity host.
