Blue Ridge Entertains - Another Reason to Come Back in Blue Ridge

Posted by Raziel under: Blue Ridge Attractions; Blue Ridge Events; Festivals in Blue Ridge .

A non-profit organization, called the Blue Ridge Entertains will be holding a series of fund raising events, where else — in the lovely neighborhood of Blue Ridge.

The said event will begin last Saturday. Yeah I know I was kinda late, but it will last until fall. So you still have time to travel and experience the said event. According to Kate Stockman, the executive director of the Dispute Settlement Center of Henderson County, the event includes social events and festive dining in different locations such as private homes, hotels and inns and some outdoor venues. Sounds like food festival to me, and foods fests delight everyone.

Here’s some information about the said event:

  • July 19, 5 p.m. - Mid Summer Night Dream, Pathways to Tranquility at a private home.
  • July 25, 6 to 8 p.m. - Red (wine), White (wine) and Blues at a private home. Twelve fun-loving folks will start their weekend with wine, appetizers, conversation and fun.
  • July 26, 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. - Make a Memory Necklace and have lunch at the Copper Crest Inn. Gather all your memories that are represented in lockets, pendants, buttons and talismans of various kinds and join us to create a unique memory necklace.
  • Aug. 2, 6 p.m. - Pork and Puddin’ on the Porch at a private home. Kick back on the porch of a home high in the hills of Kenmure and soak in the endless views and dazzling sunset.
  • Aug. 23, 7 p.m. - A Viking Feast, a Scandinavian Smorgasbord at a private home. There’s a little Skandinavisk in all of us. Explore your Scandinavian self at this evening of Nordic fare.
  • Sept. 13, 4:30 p.m. - A Pickin’ and a Grinnin’, this barbecue goes whole hog at a historic Henderson County apple orchard. Savor the offerings from barbecue master Jimmy Freeman, whose 14-hour cooking process begins in the early morning and finishes just in time for the festivities. BB and the Chick band will provide entertainment.
  • Sept. 23, 11:45 a.m. - Winning at the Waverly, ladies’ autumn luncheon and bridge party at the Waverly Inn. Start the autumn season with a winning hand at this party for ladies only.
  • Oct. 11, 3 to 5 p.m. - A Festive Fall Afternoon Tea, a celebration of estrogen at the Copper Crest Inn. Enjoy a crisp fall afternoon to enjoy foliage, friends, the songs of Jennifer Scott and an English tea on the lawn. This is the Dispute Settlement Center’s fourth annual Garden Tea Party. Cost: $30 for adults, $15 for those under 12.

This event aims to raise at least $15,000 for the Dispute Settlement Center. So what are you waiting for? Pack your things now and drive to Blue Ridge and experience this once in lifetime Blue Ridge Entertains experience.
