American Legion World Series-Golden Knights
Aug 16 @ 6:30 pm – 6:45 pm
Keeter Stadium

The U.S. Army Parachute Team, The Golden Knights, will perform before the 7pm championship game.

The two Golden Knights demonstration teams travel the United States performing for public audiences at venues ranging from small civic events to nationally televised events, such as NFL games, NASCAR races, and international air shows. Team members are from a variety of backgrounds in one of the 150 jobs in the U.S. Army.
The parachutists perform to exacting standards but may tailor their performance for a specific venue. The Golden Knights have an unparallelled safety record in the professional parachuting arena.
The Golden Knights also have competition teams who have won national and international competitions. They hold the current military world record in both male and female four-way freefall formation and the world record in canopy piloting speed. The Golden Knights tandem section provides tandem parachute jumps to approved local and national celebrities, media personnel, and VIPs. It was a Golden Knights team that jumped with the late President George H.W. Bush in 2007, 2012, and 2014.
The Golden Knights are headquartered at Fort Bragg, N.C.

Aug 19 @ 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Stephens-Lee Community Center and Recreation Complex

What’s the “dill” with pickleball? Lots of local picklers treat the sport like the bread and butter of their week. The national total of 4.8 million pickleball players is a 14.3% increase from 2020 and 39.3% increase from 2019 (1.36 million additional players over that two-year span). Since Asheville Parks & Recreation lined its first pickleball courts in 2016, the sport has grown locally to include hundreds of regular players.

Though it traces its history to 1965, pickleball participation is at an all-time high and continues to grow. Often described as a mashup of table tennis, wiffle ball, and badminton, pickleball is accessible to all ages and is particularly well-suited for those who like fast-paced exercise, friendly competition, and easy-to-follow rules with the potential to improve with each match.

The basics

yellow pickleball on courtA pickleball court is 44 feet long and 20 feet wide, allowing plenty of space to move quickly from side to side while strengthening muscles and improving joint range of motion and flexibility. The court is small enough to keep conversation going with doubles partners and opponents. After teams win a match, they’ll often split up and rotate in new partners – a testament to the social nature of the game. (Don’t let the friendliness of the game fool you; pickleball is a sport and many players take it as seriously as any other.)

There’s also a relatively low cost for new players. Local sports shops, big box retailers, and online stores sell quality paddle and ball sets starting around $20. Since none of Asheville’s public outdoor courts have permanent pickleball nets, local picklers bring their own or coordinate with friends who have nets. Like the courts, pickleball nets are shorter than tennis nets. Throw on some athletic attire and smooth soled athletic shoes and join both new and old friends for a game.

Looking to start slow?

Asheville Parks & Recreation’s pickleball league currently plays in Murphy-Oakley Park (715 Fairview Rd.) from 5-8 p.m. on Wednesdays through August 17. Spectators can watch advanced picklers, make friends in the community, and learn the rules.

OUTPACE HUNGER

FEED PEOPLE AND YOUR PASSION!

What Is Outpace Hunger?

Looking for a way to make a real impact this spring and summer? Feed people while pursuing your passion through Outpace Hunger, an action-based fundraising campaign that turns a favorite activity into meals!

For decades, MANNA FoodBank has been working to outpace hunger and food insecurity all across 16 counties of Western North Carolina, including the Qualla Boundary. The 2022 campaign runs May 1 through September 30, and we invite you join the growing community of folks who are Outpacing Hunger alongside of us!

How It Works

Participating in Outpace Hunger is easy!

You decide your level of commitment, so every participant can create their own path to helping provide food to our community. Participants also decide how, when, and where they complete their goal, any time now through the campaign end on September 30.

Outpace Hunger participants:

(1) Register to be a part of MANNA’s Outpace Hunger community. The $20 registration fee includes a t-shirt for you and provides 80 MEALS for neighbors facing food insecurity in WNC.

(2) Choose a favorite activity (run, walk, roll, stroll, hike, bike, paddle, climb, float, skate, golf, and everything in between!) to complete individually, or as a family/group/team.

(3) Set a goal to reach. This can be an activity-related goal, a fundraising goal, or both.

(4) Invite friends and family to support your fundraising efforts through your own, personalized Outpace Hunger webpage.

Whether running a 5K, walking your neighborhood, hiking the Mountains to Sea trail, or paddling the French Broad River, Outpace Hunger participants play a vital part in ensuring our WNC neighbors have access to healthy food
