Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

In 2014, the Foundation partnered with the U.S. Forest Service to construct an extended boardwalk along the hiking trail at Graveyard Fields to protect the fragile habitat. We recently completed topped off the project by adding educational signs along the trail that cover the history and environmental significance of this fascinating spot on Blue Ridge Parkway.

You’re invited join the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, Superintendent Mark Woods, and Pisgah National Forest District Ranger Dave Casey to celebrate the completion of this important project.

An Evening with Franklin’s Kite – [jam / rock]

DOORS: 7pm | SHOW: 8pm
GENRE: jam / rock
AGES: all ages
SEATING: standing room only

Franklin’s Kite is an eclectic five piece band, hailing from western North Carolina…comprised of two guitars, violin, bass, drums, and lots of vocals . With rock being too general a term, the band’s sound encompasses a variety of styles. Relying mostly on original work, the band also adds its flavor to a variety of tasty covers. The Kite flies high and when lightning strikes, inspired improvisational wanderings take hold. Creatively unpredictable but always an electrifying experience!

 

This ALL AGES SHOW is fun for the whole family!

Free Baby and Child Sleep Seminar

This class will cover:

Why sleep is important

Overview and origins of child sleep problems

Signs of sleep deprivation and overtiredness

How much sleep we need at vaious ages (including best amount of naps per age group)

How baby sleep cycles differ from adult sleep cycles and what really happens during the 4-month sleep regression

Why the right amount of wake time between naps is crucial for helping babies nap more easily and longer and what that amount should be for your child.

CIO and what it means vs. Gentle Sleep Training.

Why a “dark room” isn’t enough and bonus information about how to set up the best room environment to help your baby sleep better.

My 7 most important sleep tips to get your child sleeping through the night and taking restful naps during the day.

Many times, all it takes is a few changes to see improvement. Often, when parents consistently implement some of these 7 tips, they see huge improvements in their child’s sleep. For those needing more help than this, I am excited to be able to point you in the direction of some simple, very inexpensive ways to “do-it-yourself.” And as always, I will share information about how I work one-on-one with families to customize a sleep plan, and support them for 2-3 weeks as they make changes.
