CiderFest NC 2019
Join us for the seventh annual CiderFest NC fundraiser, featuring ample tastings of hard cider, mead and apple wine, along with artisanal food, live music, workshops, a kids zone, and more along the scenic French Broad River.
As the largest annual fundraiser for the nonprofit Green Built Alliance, the al-fresco event will be held during the peak of fall colors and the height of this area’s busiest tourism season from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019 at our new, improved and expanded venue of Carrier Park, 220 Amboy Road, just outside of downtown Asheville, NC.
The sixth annual CiderFest in 2018 connected a record-setting 2,000 people with 24 national and local cider, mead and apple wine makers, and the 2019 event is expected to draw another sell-out crowd to sample sips from an even larger mix of local and national, small and large pourers. In addition to tasting cider and mead, guests can enjoy free bites of artisanal food including local cheeses, baked goods, caramels, ice cream, and more. This year’s event will also welcome a mix of food trucks to offer paid meals for hungry cider-sippers throughout the afternoon.
This quintessential family-friendly fall fest also offers arts and crafts from local vendors, live music, a kids zone, and community demos and workshops.
For the third time this year, a limited number of VIT (Very Important Taster) tickets offer advance entry to the event a full hour early beginning at noon to enjoy exclusive access to tastings from our cider and mead makers and artisanal food vendors before the crowds arrive. You may even have the opportunity to sample some specialty, small-batch or limited-release ciders and meads that won’t be available during the regular event. In addition to early access, VITs will also receive a complimentary commemorative CiderFest NC snifter.
CiderFest NC is a carbon-neutral event and will be offsetting the event’s footprint for each ticketholder through contributions to the nonprofit’s Appalachian Offsets program, which is currently completing fundraising to install a solar system on the roof of Isaac Dickson Elementary School.
Parking for all ticketholders will be available at AB Tech, 340 Victoria Road in Asheville, about two miles east of Carrier Park, with continuous shuttles running between the lot and the festival for the full duration of the event.
Tickets go on sale on Fourth of July, and since the event has sold out in recent years, people are encouraged to plan ahead and buy their tickets early.

Benefit for Chad Campbell
On Friday, September 2, with his kids off to school, Chad was well into his 30-40 mile ride in the mountains of Asheville, N.C., before heading to work.
Shortly before 7 a.m. he was hit from behind by a truck. He and his bike were thrown over the guardrail and off the roadway. Thankfully, the driver stopped and called 911. The police and rescue personnel transported Chad to Mission Hospital, where he remains in Neuro ICU.
Chad was able to tell the EMTs his children’s names and school before losing consciousness. The state trooper who had the children pulled out of class, to tell them of their father’s accident, drove them to the hospital to be with him.
Since being admitted, he has been kept under heavy sedation. He had a full body CT scan and multiple surgeries to relieve swelling on his brain and alleviate strain on a pulverized pelvis. Requiring additional surgeries to repair fractured vertebrae, broken bones and torn muscles; he will need plates to connect the bones in his arms, legs and pelvis. We are thankful he has feeling in his fingers and toes and hope he will make a complete recovery.
On behalf of his friends at Katuah Market, we are hosting a fundraising event in order to donate to the gofundme page set up by Chad’s family.
This event at the Salvage Station will include a silent auction, raffle, and live music starting at 1 p.m., Sunday, October 9. The raffle winners will be drawn at 5 p.m. and the silent auction’s highest bidders will be announced at 5:30 p.m.
Plans for an organized ride for the event are in the works. More details to come.
Please come out and show your support for Chad Campbell.
