Sunday Fund Day

Sunday, July 22nd, we will be fundraising for The Asheville Tool Library! A portion of all sales from 12am – 12pm will go towards helping them renovate and move into their new space.

– At 4:00 pm the Asheville Tool Library will hold a pallet busting workshop to show how to easily take apart pallets and remove nails using specialty tools the Asheville Tool Library has in inventory. They will then build birdhouses to put up around One World West!

– At 7:30 pm Dyado will play a donation based show!

The Asheville Tool Library is QUADRUPLING in size! They are moving into the City Transmission building at 55 Southside Ave. This new space will allow them to expand their inventory, give away free consumables like screws lumber and paint and build a tool maintenance area! In order to do this, they need your help!

National Hammock Day Celebration

On July 22, we salute the symbol of absolute outdoor comfort: the hammock. We’re celebrating with ENO giveaways, workshops and classes, and hammock trivia with prizes.

/// SCHEDULE ///
11:00 – Trivia with Prizes
12:00 – Hammock Camping Basics
1:00 – ENO Gadgets Explained
1:30 – How to Set Up Hammocks, Airpods, + Stands

Developed by the Maya peoples as far back as 1,000 years ago, hammocks served as a widely-used sleeping vessel suspended above otherwise dirty ground, offering protection from snakes and rodents. European explorers modified the technology, replacing plant fibers and bark with cotton and canvas. By the 20th century, the design of hammocks had been significantly altered and were heavily used by military forces thanks to their space saving portability.

Hammocks and hammock accessories continue to evolve. In WNC, an ENO hammock is the symbol of leisure, relaxation, and easy living. More than just a backyard (and indoor) accessory, hammocks are catching on as replacements for tents with many backpackers thanks to their lightweight and versatility.

Buncombe Outdoors HIKE

Ready for Fall? Come enjoy some chilly weather and changing leaves with Buncombe County Recreation Services with its Buncombe Outdoors series of entry level community hikes. These hikes will offer some beautiful scenery along the Blue Ridge Parkway and breathtaking views of all Buncombe County mountains have to offer. The Buncombe Outdoor hikes are a continuing effort to offer first-time experiences for residents who are new to outdoors in conjunction with our initiative to make outdoor recreation accessible to all residents regardless of experience.
We picked hike locations with moderate difficulty so that everyone can get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Western North Carolina. Participants will be led by an experienced guide and the pace will be set by the participants. Participants don’t have to fear being left in the dust and the hikes are family friendly (but keep in mind that children will be hiking 2-3 miles over varied terrain). Snowball Trail on October 14 is a 6 mile hike out and back that is strenuous.
The hikes are all Saturdays and all will begin at 10 am with the exception of Snowball Trail on October 14 which will be held on Sunday. Snowball Trail on October 14, Forest Falls on November 10, and Alexander MTB Park on December 8. Information about specific locations for meeting up with the group will be sent to those that register at hike.buncombeoutdoors.org.

These hikes are free to all but we would like for you to let us know you are joining us. Please go to hike.buncombeoutdoors.org to sign-up. Please email mac.stanley@buncombecounty.org or call 828.250.4269 for more information on any of these hikes.
