GALLIPOLIS, Ohio – ​The Beta Alpha Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma (DKG) recently held a planning meeting during a field trip to The Inn at Cedar Falls in the Hocking Hills.

Nine members and two guests arrived at the inn before noon for a meet and greet on Wednesday, June 7, 2017. Nicole McCabe, assistant innkeeper, welcomed the DKG members to The Inn at Cedar Falls. She gave those present an overview of the history regarding the inn. Alicia Caton, Group Sales & Events Coordinator for the inn, provided the group with much information about the many things to see and do in the Hocking Hills area. Members and guests then enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by The Inn at Cedar Falls.

After lunch, Ms. Caton led the group on a tour of the facilities, which featured a rooftop garden, outdoor garden, and fire pit area, the lodge and gift shop. One exciting addition coming to The Inn at Cedar Falls are yurts. We were able to see the construction of the first three of nine yurts that will be available this fall at The Inn at Cedar Falls.

Following a short planning meeting in which ideas were shared for future venues for meetings and field trip suggestions for next summer. The group concluded the day with a hike to Ash Cave.

The horseshoe-shaped natural wonder measures 700 feet across from end to end and 100 feet deep, making it the largest recess cave in Ohio.
