Calendar of Events

Description: Winter can be the most beautiful time of the year at Chimney Rock. Leafless trees make for expansive views of Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. The sky is clear; you’re likely to find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the peacefulness. You may even see a critter scamper by you in the forest. Capture that special moment or scene on your camera, enter it in our Winter Wonders Photo Contest and tell us about it. We’ll use the winning entries on our website and Facebook album, and you’ll win some fun prizes. Photos must be taken within the Chimney Rock section of the Park.

Cost: No additional cost to enter.

Come when you can, we are no longer taking sign-ups but walk-ins are welcome!
Seniors looking to workout more regularly are welcome to participate in a three month video-led fitness class and study conducted by Geri-fit! Most of the exercises will be performed seated in a chair and you will not have to get on the floor. Classes will be twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays for 45 minutes. There are 24 classes over a 3 month period.

You will need to bring your own set of 2 or 3-pound dumbbell weights and a stretch band. (The library has some stretch bands if you need one.) You will be exercising to a Geri-Fit® DVD and several different levels of Geri-Fit® video workouts will be shown. Everyone is encouraged to work out at their own pace.

Classes will be held twice-a-week for 45-minutes each. Upon completion of the 12 week study, each participant will fill out a survey to help evaluate the effectiveness of the video-led classes to determine if your strength, stamina, balance and range of motion has improved.

Please come join us and have some fun working out!

Women workers make up an overwhelming portion of the low-wage workforce and are the fastest growing group of those who are homeless. The lack of access to affordable housing forces many women to choose between domestic abuse and homelessness.

Housing inequalities have historically served not only to exploit the working class for profit but also to control the social status of women. The creation of private property coincided with the notion of women as property. Working-class women, especially women of color, are at the center of the housing struggle because they have fewer political rights and face greater economic insecurity (women are still 35 percent more likely than men to be low-income workers).

Join us on International Working Women’s Day (March 8th) for a forum on housing as a women’s issue. We will be gathering at 6 pm at Liberation Station (10 N Market Street).

$10 Advance / $10 Day of Show

Known best as one of the singing and songwriting voices of the band Twisted Pine, Rachel Sumner is touring in support of her solo debut, Anything Worth Doing, which explores her eclectic musical interests, from country to lush indie-folk. This solo performance will highlight her songs in their purest form.

Hailed as “the songwriter’s songwriter” by the Newport Folk Festival, Ian Fitzgerald has been crossing the country for several years singing what he’s written. Following the release of his album, You Won’t Even Know I’m Gone, and the full-band tours that followed, Ian has refocused on his solo performances, allowing him to create something more dynamically intimate with guitar and voice alone. This show will feature solo performances by Ian and Rachel Sumner as well as a special set of duets

Join us in the tasting room to celebrate the debut of Kiyoshi, our premium limited release sake featuring White Labs Kitchen & Tap yeast. We’ll have live music by Savannah Smith, tastings, food pairings, and giveaways from both White Labs and Ben’s.

More about the sake:
Kiyoshi is a Junmai Daiginjo, a traditional sake classification that highlights both the purity and high quality of the ingredients used. Junmai sake is brewed with only 4 ingredients- rice, water, yeast, and koji. Daiginjo refers to the quality of the rice, specifically that it has been milled to at least 50%. The higher the milling percentage, the more proteins and fats have been removed, leaving pure starch for the brewing process. Daiginjo style sake is light in color and delicate in flavor and aroma.
