Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

TRYON—Tryon Downtown Development Association nominated Denny Crowe for induction into the Second Wind Hall of Fame, and the organization accepted the nomination. Denny was officially inducted at a meeting of the Tryon Town Council on Tuesday, February 18. 

Denny volunteers with TDDA as a board member and as part of the design committee that has started the redesign of the embankment on Trade Street with new landscape and lighting. She serves as a member of the board of the Tryon Garden Club and is part of the Holy Cross Flower Guild. She is also a member of the Lanier Library Board.

Denny and her husband Skip, also a member of Second Wind, moved to our area in 2018 from Jamestown, NC. Denny attended Virginia Tech and has worked in garden center management, floral design, and as a sales rep for Green Industry. 

Denny and Skip have two children. When she is not volunteering, Denny enjoys gardening, hiking, and designing. She would like to be remembered for making places beautiful and raising two successful, compassionate daughters.

The mission of Second Wind is to identify those outstanding volunteers who contribute so much to the quality of life in our community and to provide recognition of retirees sixty years and over who had a useful and productive life continuing beyond retirement while others paused to rest.  They caught a ‘second wind’ and began a new career of service to the community and to mankind.

Second Wind Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) organization that welcomes nominations for induction. To request nomination forms, email carolbrowning72@gmail.com.
