On Friday, August 8, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., come out to Carrier Park in Asheville for a glow-in-the-dark walk or run timed by Finish Well Timing. This fundraising event supports Western Carolina Rescue Ministries (WCRM) and helps break the cycles of homelessness and addiction in our community.
All proceeds go directly to WCRM’s programs, providing shelter, addiction recovery, life counseling, and job training. For 44 years, we’ve been dedicated to helping those in crisis, and this 5K is one of our largest opportunities to raise funds to continue our mission.
Whether walking or running, your participation provides help, hope, and opportunity to those in need. Join us in lighting the way for life transformation in Asheville!

Have you taken a selfie with a Llama yet? Thursday, April 4, from 5-7 p.m., is your chance! Lightening the Llama will be hanging out on the patio at Asheville Brewing’s Coxe Avenue location. Everyone’s invited to meet Lightening, and if you’re over 21, you can toast Lightening with Asheville Brewing’s new Ginger the Llama Alcoholic Ginger Beer!
This uncomplicated, refreshing ginger beer contains a blend of local Rayburn Farms and Peruvian gingers, both of which impart a subtle spice. The resulting 4.8% ABV elixir is light and crisp enough to help you zip to the top of the Machu Picchu. It’s brewed with love but without gluten.
Llamas roam wild all over the Andes Mountains in Peru, and they are one of the few animals able to live happily at such high altitudes. The bold flavor of Peruvian ginger evokes that same rugged landscape. Numerous Western North Carolina farms and businesses also employ llamas to protect sheep or to serve as pack animals. They also can make loving pets.
As a Llama day special, Ginger the Llama will be $4 per pint on April 4th. Moving forward, every Thursday will be Llama Day at Asheville Brewing, including $4.50 pints of the ginger brew, and 10% off food for gingers (even if it’s out of a bottle) at both the Merrimon and Coxe Avenue locations. Stay tuned for details on a ginger-inspired pizza.
Ginger the Llama is available on tap at your favorite WNC watering hole or restaurant, and the ginger beer soon will be available in cans to take home or on your next llama adventure.
Bring the family to meet Lightening on Thursday, April 4, from 5-7 p.m., and let Ginger the Llama (beer) trot over your taste buds!
