11 comments • Rebecca Gaujot Lewisburg WV Realtor • July 28 2010 12:48PMToday was very exciting! My first day at work as a volunteer for the Greenbrier Classic. I was assigned to work in the Merchandise Tent. It is very, very nice, and it is Air Conditioned...better than being outside in the hot sun all day. We were pretty busy considering today was the first day of the Tour, but by Thursday it will be busier than a bee's nest.
.
While taking a walk on the grounds of the Old White Golf Course, I snapped these photos....
The Old White Golf Course is beautiful....and this area was so serene ... I just wanted to stay here for a while and take in the beauty on this beautiful Monday morning.

Military Personnel to Receive Complimentary Admission to The Greenbrier Classic
The Greenbrier, America 's Resort, is recognizing members of the Armed Forces during the inaugural Greenbrier Classic. All active duty and retired military personnel will receive a free daily admission to this PGA TOUR, FedEx Cup event for themselves and one guest. By presenting a valid military ID at any will call window, military personnel will receive complimentary access to The Greenbrier Classic that day.
"I have a great respect and deep admiration for the men and women who protect our country and this is just a small token of our appreciation for all that they do," said Jim Justice, chairman and owner of The Greenbrier.
As a West Virginia native, Admiral T. Joseph Lopez, U.S. Navy (Retired), appreciates Justice's generosity. "West Virginia has given more of its population, per capita, to support our nation's military battles than any other state in our great nation, so it comes as no surprise that a great West Virginian like Jim Justice would think of our military men and women and give them this recognition," said Lopez.
During The Greenbrier Classic, members of the military will also have access to Benefactor hospitality areas featuring premium food and beverage options available for purchase. In addition, for those attending on Wednesday, Thursday and/or Saturday, they will have the option to purchase a ticket for that evening's concert for just $30. (Two tickets maximum may be purchased at that price. Concert tickets may only be purchased on the day of the concert and may not be purchased in advance.)

IT STARTS TOMORROW! The Greenbrier Classic
Today was the first day for some of the volunteers to start working at The Greenbrier Classic event. Since my husband was scheduled to work a few hours today, I went along with him. While the volunteers for the "Sponsor Group" were meeting, I took advantage to walk with them and take some photos. Last minute preparations were being performed, from landscaping to cleaning, last touches for the sky boxes to food and beverages, ensuring TVs and leaderboards are working, etc., everyone was buzzing around like bees to be ready for this historical week.....the PGA Tour's first FedExCup event to be held in West Virginia.
The below photos were taken at the 18th hole.
It's been raining this afternoon and we may get more rain this week. The volunteers were informed of the "Weather Warning" signs that will appear on the leaderboards throughout the golf course prior to inclement weather. If the siren sounds, seek shelter immediately. Avoid open areas, hilltops and/or high places, isolated tress, golf carts, and wire fences.
The Greenbrier Classic starts tomorrow! I have also volunteered for this event, and will be working in the Merchandise Tent. Stop by and say "hello" and buy a souvenir or two.

A Beautiful Day to Check Out The Greenbrier's Grounds
While visiting The Greenbrier today, I was taking photos of the grounds for the Greenbrier Classic which is scheduled to start on Monday, July 26,.....everyone was busy getting ready for the PGA golf event.
On my tour of the grounds, I stopped to take some photos of the beautiful flowers.....and of course the beautiful "Golf Tees" sculpture. The grounds were perfectly manicured and ready for the great West Virginia event.

The Greenbrier's Casino Club Grand Opening was held Friday,
July 2, 2010
It was an evening to remember....from the celebrities walking down the red carpet, to the fantastic steak and lobster dinner, to Lionel Richie's concert, and of course, the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the fabulous elegant, Monte Carlo-style casino.
As noted in the below video, it was indeed an evening to remember with friends and family, dancing 'til my feet hurt, and mingling with all the celebrities such as golf legends Lee Trevino, Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus; basketball players Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley; and the one and only Lionel Richie; and Raquel Welch, Debbie Reynolds, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Garner, Jayne Seymour, Jessica Simpson and Barbara Eden....just to name a few! The two gentlemen in the photo above are my husband Claude Gaujot and my brother Dan Vasvary....looking good in their tuxedoes!
The casino club is beautiful and tastefully decorated, and includes table games such as craps, roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker varieties and poker tables in addition to slot machines. The interior was designed by Carleton Varney of Dorothy Draper & Company New York, the founder of which is credited for the vibrant restoration and redecoration of the resort in the 1940s.
Next BIG Event! The Greenbrier is hosting the PGA TOUR's newest event July 26 - August 1, 2010, as part of the FedExCup Series.......the Greenbrier Classic!

8 comments • Rebecca Gaujot Lewisburg WV Realtor • June 21 2010 06:25PMAt this afternoon's Press Conference, Jim Justice, owner of the Greenbrier Resort announced some good news for the residents of West Virginia. There will be TWO great concerts for the Greenbrier Classic PGA Tour to be held at the new Amphitheater at the WV State Fair grounds.
Yes, The Greenbrier Classic, sure to be the most exciting event on this year's PGA TOUR is now even more incredible. Country music icon Reba and the award-winning Rascal Flatts will perform on Thursday, July 29th as part of the inaugural Greenbrier Classic. On Saturday, July 31st, superstars Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will take the stage for another incredible evening. These legendary musicians will perform in a private concert for Classic attendees and participants, as access to the concert is included with the purchase of a weekly badge. A new outdoor amphitheater is currently under construction at the State Fair of West Virginia and will be the setting for both tournament concerts.
On Friday, June 18, the Greenbrier will offer two new ways to purchase tickets.
The best value remains the $147 weekly grounds badge with preferred seating for both concerts and other benefits including a $99 accommodation rate for a future Greenbrier stay. With the $147 grounds badge, purchasers will also receive a round of golf on The Greenbrier Course for $100 or a complimentary round on the Meadows as well as a 15% discount on Greenbrier Classic merchandise.
A limited number of tickets are available and on June 18, these tickets will go on sale through
Ticketmaster, Live Nation, all Kroger stores and United Bank branches throughout the state.
Purchases may also be made online at www.greenbrierclassic.com or at the The Greenbrier Classic Official Tournament shop at the resort. Or, call 1-800-321-1168, ext. 7263 or 7294. A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will benefit local and regional charities.
“We fully expect a sell-out. The Greenbrier Classic is going to be the biggest and greatest event on the PGA TOUR this year, hands down, and these prices are the best you will find on the TOUR,” said Jim Justice , owner and chairman of the resort. “Reba and Gary, Joe Don and Jay are phenomenal artists and together, with all the other aspects of the tournament, this will definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
The Thursday and Saturday concerts will be held at a new amphitheater at the State Fairgrounds. This new outdoor facility, currently under construction, will accommodate over 50,000 spectators. The stage will be approximately 130’ wide, 70’ deep and 70’ tall, allowing any sized national artist the flexibility to design their own show.
One of the most successful female recording artists in history, Reba has sold over 55 million albums worldwide and her previous 13 studio albums have all achieved Gold or Platinum-plus status. She has won 15 American Music Awards; 12 Academy of Country Music Awards; 9 People’s Choice Awards; 7 Country Music Association Awards and 2 GRAMMY Awards. Reba’s reign of #1 hits spans four decades and the multimedia superstar was recently recognized by Billboard, Country Aircheck and Mediabase as the biggest female hit-maker in country music history. Also an acclaimed film, TV and Broadway actress, Reba signed with The Valory Music Co. in November 2008 and released, KEEP ON LOVING YOU, the next year. The album became Reba’s first solo studio album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart and produced the four-week #1 smash, “Consider Me Gone.” Reba’s label move reunited the multimedia entertainer with industry leader Scott Borchetta, now President and CEO of the Big Machine Label Group, which includes Big Machine Records, The Valory Music Co. and Republic Nashville.
Since their inception in 1999, Rascal Flatts has helped change the face of popular music. Their trademark sound--Gary LeVox's powerfully emotive lead vocals coupled with the soaring harmonies of Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney, set amid world-class arrangements and production, have made the band the standard bearers for cutting-edge country. They have placed 10 #1 singles and 20 Top Tens and each of their studio albums have gone multi-platinum with total sales approaching 19 million. They have been named the ACM and CMA top vocal group every year since 2003 and have won numerous American Music Awards and People’s Choice Awards. The three are committed family men who take seriously their role in the community. They are known for their charitable efforts, which have included raising millions of dollars for charities including the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt and for their work on the celebrity cabinet board of the American Red Cross.
NOTE: Children 15 and under will be able to attend a concert for only $30.00.
Jim Justice said he wants to ensure that the people of West Virginia know that everyone is welcome to attend, so get your tickets and get ready for a grand time....an event you don't want to miss. See you there!
