Free Ornament Making with LEAF

Balls and baubles add color to holiday décor, but handmade ornaments are special keepsakes that warm the heart year after year.

LEAF Community Arts artists are bringing the Easel Rider mobile arts lab to our store as part of the Spirit of the Holidays Celebration (Rescheduled). Let the kids channel some creative energy while you enjoy complimentary hot chocolate and apple cider, cotton candy and popcorn, special buys, a holiday photo booth, and an awesome free raffle.

Pets are welcome at this free event, but may need to stay out of the crafting area.

*Live Music by I,Star:
From the heart of Appalachia, I,Star rises… Encompassing a core fusion of husband-wife duo, MC/poet Truth-I Manifest’s potent lyrical flow, and singer/songwriter Aradhana Silvermoon’s angelic melodies- with their stellar band’s profoundly funky prowess- I,Star’s performances are a dynamic interplay of hard-hitting rhymes weaving through evocative refrains, building to harmonies in the hooks. Their wholly original “folk-hop” carriage bears keen commentary on personal and global transformation, stewardship of the Earth, social justice, and love amidst it all. Whether in configuration as a duo with acoustic guitar and bare vocals, with one or more accompanists, or with the powerful layers of a 7-piece band and their improvisational gifts, I,Star inspires listeners to groove deeply and journey into their rich imagery and soundscapes. Displaying wide, genre- crossing versatility with influences of funk, world, reggae, and rock to accent their folk-hop essence, I,Star’s music has broad appeal to lovers of many flavors. In the expanding constellation of progressive and conscious musical offerings, these luminaries shine brightly. https://istarvision.com/home

Geminid Meteor Shower

If skies permit, join us at the Tanbark Ridge Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway to observe the Geminid Meteor Shower.

The Geminids peaks the night of Wednesday, December 13th and into the early morning hours of Thursday the 14th, with estimates upward of 100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions.

The meteors appear to radiate from the direction of the constellation Gemini– hence their name.

The Geminids are associated with an object named 3200 Phaethon which is thought to be an asteroid or extinct comet with an orbital period of only 523 days.

With meteors travelling at a medium speed of 22 miles per second (about 80,000 mph!), the shower often produces bright meteors called bolides, or fireballs.

This year the Geminids will not be impacted by intense moonlight. With clear skies from a dark location, meteor hunters should find a good show.

Dress very warmly – while the Geminids are one of the most dependable showers of the year, they suffer from their date on the calendar, when temperatures are dipping. Meteor hunting doesn’t generate a lot of body warmth, so bundle up!
