COVID-19 is not a food-borne illness. It is extremely unlikely that someone will catch it through eating. The virus is most likely to cause illness through respiratory transmission. The routes to be concerned about include being in very close proximity to many people, or coming in contact with high touch surfaces.
Thank you for your continued support during these unprecedented times!

Help manage invasive species and restore the native habitat. By clearing the invasive species, there may be potential for people to enjoy the close-to-town property. The goal is to get the lot clear enough for it to be used as a recreational space, like a picnic area.
Volunteers will need the ability to navigate uneven terrain, use tools such as loppers, pruners, hand saws, and three-pronged hoe. We will provide training for invasive species ID and proper removal of them. Tools and gloves will be provided.
Bring:
Long pants
Close toed shoes
Water, snacks
If you want to bring you own tools, you are free to do so.
The lot is located next to the IGA in Tryon and we are meeting there at 10:00 am.
To RSVP or for more information email [email protected] or call Natalie at 828-697-5777 ext. 211.

About Historic Fernihurst Mansion:
Fernihurst Mansion was constructed c1875 for Colonel John Kerr Connally atop Vernon Hill, the highest point in what was once the little town of Victoria. The giant 25-room Italianate-style home was built from bricks handmade from clay mined on the property. Over the next half century, the owners nearly doubled the size of the mansion until it became “a 50 room monstrosity” as one write remarked. In 1933, the deserted monstrosity was acquired by John P. Curran, who removed 38 rooms and reverted the house back to its original structure. AB-Tech purchased the property in the 1970s and the mansion is now home to AB-Tech’s culinary institute.
