Cedar Mountain Home Furnishings
owned by Swains Residents
In an effort to spotlight Swains Creek residents business
efforts we continue this column spotlighting our very
own entrepreneurs! With that in mind we are highlighting a business that has been around a couple years, but
that we have never shown to our owners. That business
is Cedar Mountain Home Furnishings, located in Duck
Creek Village next to the True Value Hardware Store.
The business is owned by Cindy Allen and Rudy Delapaz, both Swains Creek full time residents.
After a few years as a realtor, Cindy Allen noticed a need
for unique furnishings near the location she was selling
mountain get-a-way cabins and homes. Rudy Delapaz, a
mountain home builder, also noticed this need. Many
customers traveled far or paid huge shipping costs to get
the wonderful pieces Cindy and Rudy now sell.

Chairman’s Chat
Hello all,
Well, first of all, Happy New Year 2008. This
year should be significantly less frantic than 2007 owing to the fact that we are now done (mostly) with the
water and road projects. I know that it was a very trying time for all of us and I sincerely appreciate the patience that you have all shown in getting these projects
behind us. Thank you all…
With the roads being plowed in Swains for the
first time that I am aware of and the availability of year
round water, I hope that many of you will be able to
use your cabins for a longer period every year. Teresa
and I have been up twice so far this winter in weather
that we never would have considered going up in before.
There has so far been about 7 – 8 feet of snow
delivered by Mother Nature and without the great work
that the road crews are doing in Swains in keeping the
roads open, we never would have made it, or even tried
(see picture below and on page 1). It really is a different mountain in the winter. The snow truly changes
the experience. We are off to a great start in fighting
the drought so lets keep hoping for a wet winter and
spring. Maybe we can get in four fish plants this year.
In your dues notice this year you will be getting a series of questions asking for your opinions
concerning the Labor Day activities and the application
of Magnesium Chloride to the roads as a way to combat our dust problems.
Please take the time to
answer these few questions as
your input is of great assistance
to the Board in determining
what is the will of the members
concerning these matters.
As always, looking forward to
seeing you on the mountain.
Alan
