Here’s a neat Spring event coming up the weekend of May 14-16: The Grandfather Mountain Naturalist Weekend, which features programs and guided walks around Grandfather, all included in the price of admission.
There are lots of events in our area of Western North Carolina in the month of May, including Taste of Black Mountain, which will take place Thursday, May 13, 2010.
Our county, McDowell County, North Carolina, has a really wonderful history dating back to the country’s beginnings. Two upcoming events will celebrate distinctly different pieces of that historical legacy:
We always enjoy the guest pets who join their owners for a fun stay at the Inn on Mill Creek. Just last week, the innpugs, Csaba Pugga and Bugsy Pug, made two new friends, Grayson and Scout, who were vacationing along with their respective humans at the B&B. Since we always travel with the innpugs in tow, we know how nice it is to find a pet friendly area. And that’s one of the reasons we (and the pugs) enjoy living in the dog-loving Asheville and Black Mountain area.
One of our favorite local nurseries, Painter’s Greenhouse, is having their annual Herb Festival during the weekend of April 10-11, 2010. This is the sixth year for the festival, which will feature fresh grown herbs, plus entertainment by craftsmen, cooks and musicians.
