Join us for this free family fun event on Warren Wilson College’s Working Lands (Farm, Garden, and Forest).
This event is free to attend and open to the public with autumnal activities, live music, tours, and open houses from our land and craft crews!
Craft demonstrations from the Blacksmithing, Fiber Arts, and Fine Woodworking Crews will take place throughout the event and student artisans will be vending their wares.
The Farm School General Store will be open, with WWC-raised meat and limited other WWC items available for sale.
Enjoy live music provided by the Cane Creek Hellbenders and food and coffee offerings from Defiance Cafe and Roam Coffee.
Back by popular demand, the third Annual Mountain Monarch Festival will be at Gorges State Park in Sapphire on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This free event, hosted by the park and sponsored by the Friends of Gorges State Park and other partners, will celebrate the monarch butterfly during its migration and raise awareness about the species’ declining numbers. The park lies along the monarchs’ migratory route. The butterflies can be seen in early October each year flying over the park, heading south to the high-elevation fir forests in central-southern Mexico’s Volcanic Belt, where they overwinter until early spring.
The festival will offer educational programs and exhibits as well as children’s crafts, face painting by Brevard College cheerleaders, a butterfly hike, and a Monarch Migration Passport to guide visitors through the activities. The featured speakers will be Heyward Douglas, an entomologist who is a former naturalist and has served on the Foothills Trail Conservancy’s board of directors since 1989, who will talk about visiting the wintering area for the monarchs in Mexico, and Brian Bockhahn, interpretation and education specialist for North Carolina State Parks, who will discuss “Monarch Life Cycle and Tagging.”
The event, activities and programs are free and open to the public. The event will be held rain or shine and is first-come, first-served. For event details, visit https://www.friendsofgorges.org
