Homemaking in the Mountains set for October 31
Still Awaiting Peak Fall Colors
Quick Links
Greetings!
 
Autumn has truly arrived! And the next upcoming event here at the park goes well with the sudden burst of cold weather we've had over the last few days. Homecoming in the Mountains is held inside the Rhododendron Conference Center and is coming up at the end of this month.
 
Before that however, we still have one final weekend of whitewater release for all of you interested in a thrill ride and we're still waiting for peak color to appear on our leaves. Though the trees inside the park are quite colorful, the mountain overlook views are still a bit green.
 
Enjoy this beautiful season.
.
Sincerely,  

Matthew O'Quinn

Beautiful vintage quiltHomemaking in the Mountains set for 
October 31
 
Autumn seemed to come in with a chill, but the annual event, Homemaking in the Mountains, is an opportunity to stay warm while enjoying some wonderful handiwork from area residents.
 
Beginning at 10 am on October 31 in the Rhododendron Conference Center, visitors will see demonstrations and exhibitions of craftsmanship from area artisans. Though displays change from year to year, past exhibits have ranged from quiltmaking to candy making to homemade Christmas ornaments. Come and see the beautiful handiwork. The event will run until 3 p.m. For more information, call 276-865-4413.

Views within the park are quite colorful right now. Driving throughout the park you will find bright golds and deep reds. However, the view from the overlooks is still a bit green. It's beautiful, but not yet at peak color. It won't be long, though. Take the time to plan a trip now. In only a few days, the mountainside foliage will burst with color.Near Laurel Lake, October 20, 2009 Don't miss our wonderful views at their best!
