Once again you we are delighted to introduce another one of our senior leaders who are well prepared to continue the Capon traditions. Vicki Smith brings a lifetime of Capon experience to her daily duties. Many guests, especially those who stay in the Pavilion, have gotten to know Vicki over the years.
Background: Vicki started working at Capon in the mid 1970s at River Meadow Farm in Yellow Spring, close to where she grew up. She picked strawberries and vegetables for several years before coming up to work at the hotel. She has served in many capacities including back kitchen, rooms and night office duty.
Favorite part of working at Capon: Definitely the people I work with who have become a second family. I’ve learned so much from them and appreciate their strong work ethic and respect for one another. Also seeing the familiar faces of the guests that return every year. They take the time to ask me about how I’m doing and about my family. You can’t find anywhere else with that kind of caring for people.
What motivates me? Spending time with family. Making memories with them is what life is all about.
Favorite Capon spot: Sunset lodge. The scenery is beautiful and it is such a wonderful gathering place for meals- the aromas from the food grilling is amazing!
