Even in times of 2020, we here at Lookout Brewing LOVE Halloween! We are throwing a little gathering for our fellow spooky friends. We will light the fire, play Halloween tunes and have a costume contest! If you haven’t seen our taproom yet, it’s all decked out for a haunted evening.
There is plenty of outdoor space for distancing and a diverse tap list for all your beer needs.

Blue Ridge Humane Society’s monthly free pet food distribution will be held on Monday, November 9, from 9am-1pm at the Blue Ridge Humane Society Adoption Center located at 88 Centipede Lane in Hendersonville, NC. Cat and dog food will be distributed first come, first serve as supplies last, to those in need or affected by COVID-19. Social distancing and protective measures will be taken by all staff and we ask the public to do the same during the drive-thru pick-up. Additional resources and supplies will also be available first come, first serve.
Over the last few months, Blue Ridge Humane has hosted distributions on a monthly basis to provide pet food for the community in response to COVID-19. This is in addition to the pet food supplied to local food banks through BRHS’s community outreach programs, where BRHS has seen a 30 percent increase in demand for pet food assistance.
If a pet owner is in need of food but unable to attend the pick-up, please call or text the BRHS helpline at (828) 393-5832.
