The hike is 2.8 miles round trip – easy (to somewhat moderate) difficulty. For this tour, we meet at 9:00 am in front of the Ingles near Exit 21 on Hwy 26, north of Asheville.

HANGER HALL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS PRESENTS “THE CHANGE”
COMMUNITY CONCERT FOR KINDNESS:
STAND UP, STAND STRONG, STAND TOGETHER
The all-girl teenage rock/funk band The Change will bring its high-energy, confidence-boosting, anti-bullying, be-yourself music and messages from West Virginia to Asheville next month. Presented by Hanger Hall School for Girls, The Change will play a community concert at New Mountain (38 N French Broad Avenue), one of Asheville’s premier music venues, on Wednesday, October 18th. The show is FREE for students with a suggested $5 donation for parents/adults. Doors at 5:30pm, show at 6:00pm.
Loved by kids and adults alike, the girls have been playing together as a band since age 10. One of the event organizers Michael Weizman said, “We saw them at LEAF and our daughters were transfixed by their unbelievable energy. My wife and I knew immediately that we wanted to find a way to bring them to Asheville to share their inspiring messages with the community at large.” The Weizman family is partnering with Hanger Hall to bring The Change to Asheville.
Hanger Hall’s Head of School Catherine McClain added, “We’re delighted The Change will be coming to Asheville and sharing their messages of self-worth and self-confidence which align closely with our message to young girls who are growing into capable women: discover who you are and what you have to offer the world, have a healthy and happy sense of identity, and be the best version of yourself that you can be.”
Citing Paloma Faith, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, ZZ Ward, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, and Bruno Mars as influences, The Change plays both covers and originals. Their high-energy sound is sure to get the audience on their feet and dancing! To secure a ticket or make a donation, visit http://bit.ly/2yG7BKN.
