SUMMARY:Valle Country Fair
DESCRIPTION:Started as a small church bazaar to raise money to build a parish hall\, the Valle Country Fair has turned into a major attraction attended by ten thousand people a year.  The combination crafts fair\, mountain music jam and harvest festival now raises funds for human service organizations in Avery & Watauga Counties\, generating more than $1.3 million for people in need since the event’s founding 46 years ago. \n\n\nAlways held on the third Saturday in October\, the 2024 Valle Fair is happening Saturday\, October 19\, on the grounds of the Valle Crucis Conference Center on NC Highway 194 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.  Festivities include crafts\, food\, children’s activities and mountain music.  Admission is free and ample parking is available adjacent to the Fair for a fee. \nThe event takes place in a huge meadow between a picturesque red barn and a field planted with sorghum.  The tents of more than 100 craft exhibitors line wide lanes that meander back and forth across the grounds.  Bales of hay are stacked in the intersections of these alleys to offer fairgoers a spot to sit as they ponder which craft booths to visit next.  \nHandmade is the organizing principle behind the arts and crafts items available for sale at the Fair In addition to insuring that all work is made by artists’ hands\, organizers jury the craft vendors see that there is a wide variety of creative products available to shoppers.  Craft shopping is even more fun for fairgoers when they know that the exhibitors donate at least ten percent of their proceeds back to the charitable work of the Fair. \nTwo stages are set up to provide entertainment throughout the day.  The main stage is for homegrown mountain music\, while a smaller venue presents story tellers\, folk dancing and other children’s entertainment. \nGuests can feel good about pigging out at the Valle Country Fair because most of the food concessions are operated by the church or other non-profit organizations that dedicate 100 percent of their proceeds to community service.  Tables and chairs are provided under a large tent located near the main stage so that fairgoers can enjoy the music while they dine. \nFood concessions include Brunswick Stew\, barbecue\, chili\, hot dogs and hamburgers\, sausage with onions\, ice cream\, funnel cakes\, baked goods\, jams and jellies\, fresh-pressed apple cider\, and hot-out-of-the kettle apple butter. \n

SUMMARY:Kananesgi Art Show
DESCRIPTION:This judged art competition event highlights the best EBCI artists and crafters. View over 1\,000 pieces of Cherokee original art. \n  \nAbout the Event: \nKananesgi is the Cherokee word for spider. The spider was chosen because\, in Cherokee culture\, the spider represents creativity and being good with your hands. Some Cherokee will even run their babies hands through spider webs to embed that creativity into their children. \nWhat’s special about Kananesgi is that the event gives artists and designers an opportunity to be creative\, have professional and business development training\, increase workforce development\, and empowerment by encouraging our people to learn about and physically express their Cherokee identity. These events serve as learning and gathering opportunities. \nWe are excited to share Cherokee art and culture with you!

DESCRIPTION:Join us November 8 + 9 from 10am-5pm in Asheville’s River Arts District for two days of creativity and connection. Enjoy live music and DJs\, art demos\, open studios and galleries\, local food trucks\, and family-friendly fun throughout the district. \nOur first RADFest was the first event we had after Hurricane Helene devastated so much of the River Arts District. At the time we just had a few re-opened spaces\, and tons of artists set up selling their art from pop-up tents. We were absolutely blown away with how many people came to show their support and buy art. You guys really showed how pivotal art is to the identity and culture of Asheville\, and we were so grateful. \nNOW we have over 500 artists in the many re-opened buildings of RAD\, and we’ll have the outdoor art market of over 100 still displaced artists. It’s time to show up for us again\, and what a beautiful excuse to fill your home with unique\, amazing local art. \nFree admission – everyone welcome!
