This is exciting! Five of our women are joining together for a holiday market. We have a potter, photographer, mosaic tile artist, soap and lip balm creator and a massage therapist. You can do some early holiday shopping, drink some wine, get a chair massage, visit with your friends, and support local women artists– all at one event! This is a drop in event, so no attendance limit. Everyone who wants to attend is welcome.
What we’re about
I started this group to bring together women in their 50’s who want to gather with other like-minded women. We’re dealing with a lot of issues at our age, and having other women who can understand us, support us, and laugh with us is so valuable! This group is open to any woman in her 50’s: married, single, gay, straight, black, white or any other color. We will gather, eat, drink, laugh and commiserate when necessary. I am hopeful many of us will make meaningful friendships along the way.
Raise a cup for a cause with us at the canine collaborative.
We’ll share Great food, amazing local beer, live music from The New Lefties, lots of pet-themed door prizes & party favors, and more as we benefit the Asheville Humane Society.
Our sponsors:
AVL Charcuterie will be donating their delicious charcuterie cups
Ginger’s Revenge will have a booth, giving out pours. Their seasonal ginger beer is amazing!
Archetype Brewing is donating a keg if ginger beer isn’t your thing.
Whistle Hop Brewing Company will be bringing their outdoor taproom to us.
We team up with Claxton Elementary each year to find folks who’d love to provide gifts for students who would otherwise go without. If you’re looking for a way to give back this season, these children need you!
Once you sign up, we will match you with a child and email you a printable ornament with their sizes and wish list!
You can drop off gifts at Asheville Community Theatre.
ACT staff will deliver the gifts to Claxton Elementary!
More specific details will be included in an email after you sign up.SIGN-UP BY:
