Dear Travel Friends,

 News for 2008Awards, Quilt Trail Tours, Christmas Tours

         Positive Solutions Tours Wins Two Special Awards.

Please see some of our most recent tours in our new brochure above.  Just click the green brochure with the welcoming lady.  This brochure won a 2008 Pinnacle Award for the best tour brochure of the region.

Pinnacle Awards salute tourism’s peak performers throughout our Tennessee and Virginia region.  Positive Solutions was honored with a Pinnacle award under the business division for special events. Our event was the 2007 John Sevier Family Reunion which hosted over 225 people for five days.  John Sevier holds a major place in Tennessee’s history and it is wonderful to see a family celebrate their heritage.

We are proud to say that the family enjoyed our hospitality so much that they have voted to return to Jonesborough in 2009.

Remember family, military and class reunions our one of our specialties.  PST takes care of all the details so everyone can enjoy the reunion.

An Old-Fashioned Christmas Tour

FOR GROUPS OF 20 OR MORE ONLY

     The sun is sinking behind the hills as you meet in an historic building or home for a cup of wassail before you are served an Old-Fashioned Christmas Dinner prepared especially for you.
    After your meal, enjoy strolling the decorated streets, following the soft glow of your costumed tour guide's lantern. While listening to the stories and anecdotes of Historic Jonesborough, don't be surprised if a character from the past steps out of a nook or cranny to share their story with you.
The stars twinkling in the sky, the clouds lazily rolling across the heavens, and the cool winter air nipping at your nose signal an end to your "Old-Fashioned Christmas" in Jonesborough.

 Quilt Sampler Tours have been a great successPlease click on the quilt tour brochure at the top of our home page for additional information

...History a Stitch at a Time - Following the Quilt Trail...

In cooperation with the Appalachian Resource Conservation and Development Council, Positive Solutions is offering  a series of "Quilt Sampler" Tours, which will be open to the public.

Northeast Tennessee's rich history and heritage fits together like the pieces of a quilt and is brought to life as you follow the Quilt Trail.

             ...Special storytelling concert on Saturday, October 25, 2008 at the Gray Fossil Site - They say the stories are quite chilling and there just might be some about bones and such…

"No Bones About It" Tour

  Tapirs, gators, red pandas, sloths, painted turtles, shovel-tusked elephants, rhinos, camels, bears and more...

In cooperation with the ETSU Museum of Natural History and the Gray TN Fossil Site, we have created a unique tour..."No Bones About It"...to introduce visitors to the only Miocene Epoch site in this part of the country.  The 4.5 million to 7 million years old dig was first discovered by road crews in 2000.   Stroll through the exhibits where you can learn about the earth and its inhabitants first-hand, or participate in our extended tour where you can "get down and get dirty" while working alongside some of the paleontologists who can answer your questions.

Positive Solutions is always in a learning mode, adding to our wealth of information so we can share the stories with you!!

Your guide will share the legends, stories and unusual happenings of Jonesborough's past and present on this ghostly tour. Some have called this a ghost walk, others a sharing of mysteries, decide for yourself. It is exciting and titillating and most important, it's good old fashion fun.

The stories will be a little different on each tour because the oldest town in Tennessee has far too many stories to share on just one dark evening. Legends, Whispers and Mysteries is a tasteful blend of stories and legends handed down from family to family and hearth to hearth.
