Holiday Spirit Flying High this Weekend with many festivities!
Brrrrr! The weather has been surprisingly chilly this week! We are certainly looking forward to a milder weekend, just in time for more holiday festivities! Just a few of the fun things to do...
Saturday the 11th is "A Night Before Christmas," our annual candlelight Christmas event on Main Street. Shops will stay open from 6 to 9 with carolers, luminaries, poetry people, Land of Sky Barbershop Quartet, Storytelling, Horse drawn wagon rides and SANTA!
Also on Saturday, enjoy An Old Fashioned Christmas at Blue Ridge Books. They've planed a day and evening of Christmas spirit, appropriate for the entire family. At 2:00 pm, we will offer several readers' theater performances of Christmas writings, including Little Bett and the Angel by Angela Dove and Dove's adaptation of Coyote Christmas by S.D. Nelson. Beginning at 4:00 p.m., children and adults are invited to come in out of the cold and help make Christmas ornaments for our live Christmas tree! We will have supplies available to make traditional ornaments such as popcorn chains, paper chains and foil stars. Experience a little of how Christmas used to be and learn about the Appalachian heritage. At 7:00 p.m., Frances Smathers Cutshaw, M.Div., Appalachian Musical Heritage Enthusiast and Music Teacher at Haywood Christian Academy, will be sharing some Appalachian seasonal ballads, stories, and arrangements on the Appalachian Lap Dulcimer. She will also lead carols so that everyone can enjoy singing along. Relive a holiday from years gone by as Ernestine Upchurch shares her childhood Christmas stories of growing up in Haywood County. There will be hot cider and some old fashioned treats to enjoy. Take a break from shopping and drop in for a while.
Saturday night we also welcome international bluegrass superstar, Ricky Scaggs, to Lake Junaluska for a holiday concert!
