The Asheville Comic Expo is back at the Civic Center, which means we want to make an appearance and hang out with our neighbor!
Come say hello to us at our booth. We’ll dazzle you with the collection Buncombe County libraries have to offer regarding graphic novels, comic books, art books, and our programs! We’ll even make you a library card if you’re a Buncombe County resident who doesn’t have one yet.
Come get nerdy with us, Saturday, November 10 starting at 10 AM!

Yount Addresses Canton Board
I had a great meeting with the Canton Board of Aldermen and Mayor last evening (10/12/2018). Their response and very positive comments about the parade, the participants, and the functioning of the event was very gratifying. I let the Board know that through 26 years we have raised $182,600 plus untold numbers of new toys. Our inaugural parade was in 1992. We left Dixon’s Little Boy with a grand total of 69 bikes. The trip to Bogart’s in Waynesville was fun and scary due to it being our first effort. Since 2002, we have averaged 832 bikes with some 60% being ridden 2 up. We look forward to this year’s event on Saturday November 10th. Registration will open at 10:00 a.m. and close at 11:45 a.m. with the parade beginning to move at High Noon. Participants should be ready for some new parking details as there have been some changes around the Town Hall since last year. I’ll post more details as we get closer to the event. See you on November 10th!

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.
In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
You’re invited to take a stroll through nearly 40 various vendors’ booths and explore hundreds of skillfully handcrafted items.
Made Around Here Market is nearing its 40th anniversary and will feature local and regional artisans and crafters, as well as residents from surrounding states.
Experience the Made Around Here Market on November 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. inside the Visitors Center, as well as an additional marketplace located outside in the main parking lot area.
Admission is free but donations will be accepted for Jonesborough’s free children’s event in December.
For more information about the Made Around Here Market call (423) 753-1010.
