Baby, it’s cold outside, and few things are better than enjoying a winter warmer this season. We’re releasing our 2019 Holiday Beer for you to enjoy with friends and family by the fire, whether that’s a campfire or a fireplace. To celebrate, come join us on Black Friday to get your photo with a very Asheville Santa Claus at our West Asheville taproom! We can promise, it’ll be way more fun than waiting in line at Best Buy. Santa will be set up from 3-6pm, but bottles go on sale starting at 12 when we open! This year’s Holiday Beer is a Belgian Quad aged on American Oak spirals to round out the flavor. Ringing in at 11.5%, this one will warm your cold, cold heart. Delicious beer, festive photos…this is the way to kick the holiday season off right.

Tomorrow is #GivingTuesday. This year, we are raising $10,000 to fix the Hominy Creek Trash Trout so that we can continue to #CleanAVL.
The impact of this update will allow the Hominy Creek Trash Trout to weather the challenges of its location – frequent flooding, sediment, and huge influxes of litter (thanks to the transfer station and overhead highways).
We believe in this program and are committed to making it better. We are able to educate students, community leaders, and folks from around the country with this innovative litter prevention device. 75% of litter found in our local waterways starts as roadside litter. The Trash Trout catches that trash before it even has a chance to reach the river.
This #GivingTuesday, we will be sharing the story of the Trash Trout and ways which you can help restore it.
1. Follow along on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
2. Share our campaign and message with your friends and family.
3. Don’t want to wait? You can make your gift to GreenWorks today.

“SHOPPING WITH A PURPOSE”
THE 44th BIZARRE BAZAAR CHARITY EVENT
TO BENEFIT OPERATION HEALING FORCES
Richmond’s annual Bizarre Bazaar event is recognized nationally as one of the top craft shows in the country. Every year, the night before this grand four day event begins, a charity is given the opportunity to participate and raise awareness and funds for their organization. Operations Healing Forces (OHF) has been selected again this year. OHF benefits the men and women in the Special Forces segment in every branch of the military, through therapeutic retreats. These highly trained soldiers need our help to adjust back to their civilian lives and be combat ready to protect our country.
If you’re a regular at the Bizarre Bazaar, or a first time shopper consider attending the preview party the night before. Your tax deductible donation will help our military elite who are sent all over the world on missions that we will most likely never hear about but are critical to our safety. OHF soldiers have been sent to as many as 76 countries on thousands of missions.
The Richmond International Raceway is transformed into a shopper’s paradise. Over 450 vendors open their booths selling everything from soup to nuts. Unique gifts include seasonal items, gourmet food, designer women and children’s clothing, toys, fine crafts, jewelry and one of a kind artwork.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 4th, 2019. The $125 per person Express VIP Party will begin at 4:30PM; and VIP guests paying $100 will be admitted entry at 5:00PM. Then $50 per person General Admission event will open at 6:00PM. VIP’s will be the first in the door to view and purchase one-of-a-kind crafts & gifts along with an unlimited bar and upscale menu. The $50 ticket entitles you to two drink tickets and a variety of finger foods to nibble on while you shop. The event is attended annually by over 30 thousand people over a four day period. This exclusive, one night shopping experience will provide the opportunity to see and purchase all of the items on display while supporting a very worthy cause. Your tax deductible donation to attend the charity event is a beautiful way to kick off the holiday season and make a difference in someone else’s life.
98% of OHF respondents believe their relationship with their partner improved following the retreat. 96% reported that the OHF retreat aided in their personal recovery.
Event sponsors include Markel Corporation, Davenport & Company, Boost Branding, and Bryan & Hunter Kornblau.
Tickets may be purchased on-line at www.operationhealingforces.org/tickets or at www.bizarrebazaar.com. Attendance is limited so purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended.
