I mentioned it in last week's blog, but the news is getting better every day for us at THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN.
The Taylor Togs building is in Micaville just east of the OOAK (One-of-a-Kind) Gallery just a few miles from The Cove at Celo Mountain on the Micaville Loop before heading up 80 S, a NC State Scenic Highway. This is just off of NC State Scenic Highway 19 E (being made into a 4-lane). I hope to get renderings and plans from the Executive Director of the project in the next few days and follow with these and further details in the next Cove at Celo Mountain blog. Here is what she sent out in an email yesterday.
- two restaurants
- an indoor live Crafters Village
- an indoor walking trail and gym
- office spaces
- retail space
- a community FDA kitchen
- a wholefoods site supporting our local farmers & foods
- a Children's Learning Center, Classroom & Meeting rooms
- an Expo area
- and more."
Fall Foliage 2011 Forecast and Festivals
If you have never experienced fall in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, you are missing the treat of a lifetime. Good Morning America just named this one of the 10 Most Beautiful Places in America and Fodor's named it one of Top 21 Places (in the World) to Visit in 2011. Fall is the most favored season for tourists. The Asheville Citizen-Times had a lead story this past week predicting beautiful fall foliage with perfect weather conditions. Peak foliage here in Burnsville, Boone, Blowing Rock area is predicted to be around Oct 4-14. However, any time in fall is fabulous here - firepits, festivals and foliage topping the list of favorites - all to be enjoyed in and around THE COVE AT CELO MOUNTAIN. Here are Romantic Asheville's suggestions (and some of mine) for this year:
- FOLIAGE FROM THE RIVER Kayaking or Tubing near us
- FOLIAGE FROM ZIP LINE CANOPY TOURS list of favorites near us
- FOLIAGE FROM HORSEBACK list of favorites near us
- FOLIAGE FROM A BIKE OR HIKE list of favorites near us
- FOLIAGE FROM A HOT AIR BALLOON favorites near us
- FOLIAGE FROM THE BLUE RIDGE PARKWAY the perennial favorite
Remember: Dogwood: red; Sweetgum: red to purple; Red Maple: red to orange; Oaks: red to brown; Poplars: yellow; Birches: yellow; Mountain Ash: yellow
