Open 5:00 – 10:00 p.m. Advance Tickets Required. Enjoy the wonder of the park dazzlingly lit for the holidays, with a nighttime train and more.

Objective:
Create a new greenway where the approved path will run alongside NC 280 through the heart of Mills River, connecting the town to the French Broad River at Westfeldt Park, near the Asheville Airport.

Beer Release:
MRVT Oatmeal Stout — 5.3% ABV, 29 IBUs. Lots of flaked oats, chocolate and roasted barely went into this classic recipe.

Fundraiser:
$1 of every pint sold will be donated to the greenway project. The Town of Mills River successfully applied for grant funding to pay for 80% of the cost of the engineering phase of this project. But to receive this funding, a match of 20% of the cost must come from the local community. That means that every $1 given results in $5 of funding. So have a MRVT Oatmeal Stout and do your part!

Food:
The Hungry Ghost will be open from 4-9PM

Music:
Derek McCoy Trio will take the stage from 7-9PM

This Thursday, December 6th, you are cordially invited to the Astronomy Club of Asheville’s 7th annual club holiday social and fundraiser auction! The event begins at 6:30 p.m., giving you time to look over our selection of nice silent and live auction items (many of them make wonderful holiday gifts) as well as time to enjoy an appetizing spread of tasty food and refreshments!

The event is open to the general public and you need not be a member to attend.

While we are thrilled that our meeting attendance is typically astronomical (pun intended), we seldom have enough time to socialize and get to know our like-minded friends better. We’re a strange breed – we often meet in dark locations, craning our necks upwards and chatting for hours with folks we won’t recognize in the light of day. But Thursday you’ll have a chance to prove you’re not THAT strange (well…. myself excepted)! Please join us and partake in some esprit de corps, get to know each other better, bid on an item or two and contribute your company to make our holiday event a success.

AND… if you do attend, we promise you will LAUGH heartily at our guest auctioneer, Randy Latta. We haven’t a clue what character he will conjure (that’s part of the fun!) but we guarantee it will be entertaining. Do yourself a favor and come along – if not for the food, drink, good company or the chance to bid and possibly win any number of great items, then come for the LAUGHS!!!!

Those who attend and register for an auction paddle will automatically be entered to win one of three special door prizes.While you will need to be present to win, you need not bid on any item to be eligible. And if you have an item that might be suitable for our auction, please bring it along.

Food, drink, friends, prizes, a chance to show your support for our club, AND LAUGHTER. What’s not to like???

We hope to see you Thursday at the Manheimer Room at UNCA’s Reuter Center. The festivities start at 6:30 p.m.

Dominic
