at Joey's Pancake House
"Maggie Valley Seasons of Time"

The Community Mural Unveiling
at Joey's Pancake House on Oct. 15th 2018 was a success. It was received by a intimate group of close
friends to the artist and the new owner Roy Milling. The finished mural
covers the wall in the foyer, which is 25 feet long. This is where folks wait to
have a seat to have breakfast in this world famous pancake house. The slider images below show the
full length of the 25ft mural.

Mural Description
Maggie Valley is a town that sparks your imagination with memorial images. The Ghost Town theme park,
the Stomping Ground's mountain music, dinner theater, fine dining, shopping for crafts, ski slopes,
connecting with the Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycles, bear & elk and camping by Jonathan Creek are
unforgettable. All of these images are a part of a new mural commissioned by Roy Milling, the new
owner of Joey's Pancake House. The mural artist who has accepted the challenge is Doreyl Ammons
Cain of the Appalachian Mural Trail. The mural covers the wall in the foyer, which is 25 feet long.
This is where folks wait to have a seat to have breakfast in this world famous pancake house.
"The idea is for folks who are waiting to have a fun experience as they find all kinds of interesting images of Maggie Valley in the art mural!" says Roy Milling.
The glassed in foyer has spotlights on the mural so passing visitors can see the mural through the glass. The mural and it's dedication to the Appalachian Mural Trail is intended to draw more folks into Maggie Valley from the Blue Ridge Parkway.
"This is an exciting art project for me," says Doreyl Ammons Cain. "I have been to Ghost Town, danced at the Stomping Ground and tasted fudge at Maggie's Mountaineer Crafts, things I'll always remember. My best efforts have been put into this tribute to Maggie Valley!"
Mural Location: 4309 Soco Road

As a member of Carolina Street Mural group, I learned about The Appalachian Mural Trail! After reviewing your web page. I planned my road trips to locate the trail murals, reflect on them and photograph memories of my trip!

We have been getting much more traffic around our murals, and a lot of it is due to the publicity from your organization!
Thank you!
We will unveil our newest (and largest) mural on September 4th.

I love what you folks are doing. Several years ago we went to Exeter California to see their Mural trail. We spent hours in this little town looking at the murals and trying to find the hidden objects in each. We talked with the towns people, had lunch, shopped in the shops. I love the mural trails, and yours is going to be one of the best. Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Art is everywhere in Asheville! This gorgeous mural of Dolly Parton by Gus Cutty is the newest mural you'll see in town. Gus created the mural with spray paint in 3 days. See it for yourself at Beauty Parade on Haywood Rd in West Asheville.
