We have a big, busy weekend coming up here in Dillsboro and it’s mostly at one place…. Dillsboro’s Montieth Farmstead Park
Appalachian Growers Fair and Farmer’s Market
Third Saturday in April
April 17, 2010
A unique fair celebrating local and regional farmers and growers. There will be an open-air plant and produce market. Crafters and artisans will be demonstrating and selling. And there will be plenty of music and local food. This all-day event is a fund-raiser for the Monteith Farmstead Restoraton Project, our community effort to restore the historic Monteith farmhouse as the Appalchian Women’s Museum and Monteith Community Park.
WCU & WATR “Cleaning up the Tuck” is taking place Saturday volunteers will be gathering trash on two feeder creeks, Scotts Creek and Mill Creek 9am until Noon. This is a great way to get outside and get some exercise while making a difference! Volunteers are invited to a cookout afterward.
Do good for the earth, get some exercise, eat a free lunch, shop some local foods, watch some local craftspeople, listen to some music….. all at Montieth Park.
Then wander down to downtown Dillsboro cruise the shops there, several have wine and food tasting events scheduled. The Smoky Mountain Dog Bakery has YappyHour at 6pm and there will be free music performed on the train depot deck featuring Iva Veazey, piano; and Emily Roberson, mandolin & other instruments.

That’s right come from near and far ….spend the day in Dillsboro from sunrise to dusk and if these events don’t interest you….there’s always rafting, hiking, horseback riding, trout fishing and more.
