The Cooperative Extension of Polk County is hosting our annual berry plant sale. This year, the Cooperative Extension director has chosen four varieties of blueberries, two varieties of raspberries, two varieties of strawberries, and one blackberry variety that have proven to specifically thrive in the North Carolina Foothills.
Orders will be accepted for plants now through February 22 and will be available for pickup in mid-March. Proceeds from this fundraiser go to support the activities, classes, and research that make the Cooperative Extension such a vital part of the Polk County community. For more information or to place an order, visit the Extension’s website at https://polk.ces.ncsu.edu or give us a call at 894-8218.

We are supporting Bounty & Soul’s work providing healthy food for our local community by providing them with metal silverware for their food sampling events. These wiill prevent the wastage and expense of disposable spoons and forks.
Bounty & Soul provide samples of delicious plant based foods and education for those members of the community who are receiving donated healthy food. Rather than use plastic spoons and forks for the demonstrations and sampling, Bounty & Sould are finding ways to be more green and sustainable, and we want to help.
We are aiming to collect 80 sets of metal or durable bamboo small spoons and forks through the month of February. Please bring washed used or new silverware to our store and enjoy our thanks and a browse and a cup of fair trade coffee.

The French Broad Riverkeeper and MountainTrue are combating sediment erosion in our local waterways. Sediment is a major polluter in our river basin, clogging fish and aquatic habitats, increasing water temperatures, and transporting toxic substances. We are helping to reduce the amount of sediment that flows into our rivers by planting live-stakes along eroding riverbanks. These stakes will grow into trees that will stabilize the sides of the rivers and creeks where we plant them, and will reduce the overall amount of sediment getting into the river. So, come hop in a boat and help us reduce erosion along our local rivers!

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.

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!
