Member Center:
This weekend Mountain Lake will host festivities all about the hit movie "Dirty Dancing" and those who love it, along with a ceremony in honor of Patrick Swayze.
Stephen and Kelly Walker are big fans of the movie and came all the way from England to see where part of it was filmed.
The trip was a gift for Kelly's 30th birthday.
The resort has been hosting the weekends since the late 1980's, and Patrick Swayze's recent death from pancreatic cancer has saddened all who love the hit movie.
So, a special ceremony is planned for Saturday at 2 p.m. in Swayze's memory.
A stone will be unveiled in a spot where he filmed a famous scene.
"Obviously wanted to be Baby, Patrick's dance partner, and just watched it all the time since then," said Kelly Walker, a fan of "Dirty Dancing".
A film crew will also be at the resort this weekend interviewing guests for a special keepsake edition of the movie.
It will include a $50 certificate towards a two night stay there.
