Intro to Paddling on Lake Julian

We’re hitting the water of Lake Julian Park the fourth Friday every month through August. Unwind at the end of the work week and learn how much fun it is to get on the water. Other dates include June 22, July 27, and August 24.

If you’ve wanted to start your kayak adventures, but aren’t sure of where to begin, this is a perfect starting point. Our paddling experts will give about an hour of thorough skills instruction followed by a paddle around the lake.

Advance registration is required. $10 covers your kayak rental, PFD (personal floatation device/life jacket), paddle, and instruction. Want to spend more time in your kayak? For another $10, you can keep the rental for another 24 hours. If you are interested in a particular kayak model, please call (828) 684-6262 or stop by our store on 1378 Hendersonville Road to reserve a specific kayak.

This event is made possible by a partnership with our friends at Wild Wing Cafe and Buncombe County Recreation Services. Kids and well-behaved pets with owner on leash are welcome.

Swannanoa Community Yard Sale

The fall 2024 Swannanoa Community Yard Sale was canceled thanks to Hurricane Helene, but we’re pleased to report that this much-loved and highly-anticipated community event will be back on Saturday, May 17, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m., at a new location in the Owen High School parking lot, 99 Lake Eden Road. (A big shout out to the school for stepping up to provide the space!)

The twice-annual yard sale regularly attracts dozens of sellers and hundreds of buyers. Whether you’re looking to sell some stuff or snag some treasures (or maybe both), mark your calendar now, and don’t miss out on this area’s largest yard sale event!

Seller spaces are the size of a standard parking spot and are $15 each, with a two space maximum per seller. Please bring your own tables. For information on registration and pre-payment options, please send an email to SwannanoaYardSale@gmail.com, or call 828-515-1840. The sale will take place rain or shine.

The Owen High parking lot will accommodate even more sellers than the former Swannanoa Ingles location, so this promises to be a huge sale. Sign up early to secure your space!

The Swannanoa Community Yard Sale is sponsored by Friends and Neighbors of Swannanoa (FANS); all proceeds from space rentals help support FANS’ work in our community. To learn more about FANS, visit www.SwannanoaFANS.org.
