The Party’s On(line)! Week of the Young Child Celebration
Apr 13 – Apr 17 all-day
Online

Each year, the Week of the Young Child spotlights young children, families, and early educators. Buncombe Partnership for Children usually celebrates with a day of outdoor play and performance, but this year, we’re moving the party online!

It is so important to give hope to our children during what are uneasy times. We are excited for a fun-filled week of music, gardening, art, storytime, and family connection. Knowing that circumstances are different for everyone, we will focus on providing experiences you can enjoy wherever you are celebrating. All activities will be live-streamed and/or posted on YouTube.

There’s something special planned for each day of the week! For more information about Music Monday, Tasty Tuesday, Work Together Wednesday, Artsy Thursday, and Family Friday please visit https://www.facebook.com/events/216960056254414/.

Paddle Camping on the French Broad Paddle Trail
Apr 16 @ 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
The Wedge at Foundation

Have you ever wanted to do a paddle overnighter? Do you want to get a taste of a river expedition? Learn the secrets behind using the FB Paddle Trail.

Here’s a sneak peak:
Secret #1: Your canoe or kayak is doing most of the heavy lifting. So, bring whatever you want! You’re not backpacking, so if you want your dog to have a costume box and it fits in your boat, bring it.

Secret #2: You can eat SOOOO well when you paddle camp. Bring your camp stove or a dutch oven to create your favorite meal with a sweet view.

Headwaters Outfitters, the French Broad Riverkeeper, and MountainTrue are hosting another session on how to use the FB Paddle Trail. Whether you’re looking to do one night or 14, we’ll tell you how. Get all your questions answered – from what gear to bring, to how to reserve campsites, and where to stock up on beer. There will even be a raffle to win a free camping weekend.

Hong Kong Ballet’s ALICE (in wonderland) CANCELLED
Apr 21 @ 7:30 pm
Peace Center

Get ready for a wild ride down the rabbit hole…

Bursting with energy and imagination, Septime Webre’s extravagant ALICE (in wonderland) explodes with jaw-dropping excitement and fantasy. This giddy, over-the-top reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s classic tale promises a spectacular adventure overflowing with exhilarating fun.

Webre’s choreography showcases a dizzying array of dances that merge traditional ballet with contemporary energy, capturing the topsy-turvy magic of Wonderland and the bizarre characters that confront Alice on her incredible journey. With mastery and unexpected humor, Webre reimagines the familiar tale as a fusion of dance, theater, and puppetry that is both visually stunning and enormously entertaining. ALICE (in wonderland) features sleek and chic costumes from Cirque du Soleil designer Liz Vandal, James Kronzer’s bold, hypnotic sets, and a thrilling original score by Matthew Pierce.

“Highly creative, whimsical, and entertaining” – Metro Arts

“A giddy parade, a pop-art dream, a feat of fevered imagination” – The Washington Post

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Hong Kong Ballet is one of the premier ballet companies in Asia and is internationally recognized as a world-class institution that represents Hong Kong’s unique character. Since 1979, Hong Kong Ballet has evolved into a vibrant company with a repertoire that combines 19th to 21st century classical masterpieces, acclaimed contemporary works, and newly commissioned ballets. Septime Webre, former Artistic Director of The Washington Ballet, joined the company as its artistic director in July 2017.

2nd Annual Broad River Race
Apr 25 @ 1:45 pm – 5:00 pm
Lake Houser

We welcome folks to race at their own pace and enjoy 5 miles on the most beautiful stretch of the Broad River. Remember, the hare may not outrun the tortoise!

This race only has two rules:
– You MUST wear a pfd.
– No motors allowed

Otherwise, you can paddle solo, tandem, or with as many people as will fit in your boat. We will meet at the Lake Houser put-in at 1:45 sharp to drop off boats. From there, we will take vehicles to the Broad River Greenway and get a shuttle back to the put in. (If you don’t have a Greenway sticker, you may have a $5 parking fee). Betsy the Turtle drops and the race begins at 3:00pm.  And we’re off to paddle or just float at your own pace. First person, or first team, across the finish line wins a MountainTrue gift bag and takes possession of the Turtle until next year’s race.

Sign up and get directions here.
