“My Way Matinee” Sensory Friendly Movie Screening

Second & Fourth Saturday Every Month

For many families, going to see a movie is an entertaining way to spend time together. But for kids with sensory challenges, the traditional movie experience can be overwhelming. Loud noises, bright lights, and strange smells can be stressful.

March to commemorate the great flood of 1916

In Marshall, July 1916 the great flood invaded Marshall. It inundated all but three buildings, washed away as many as 53 homes, destroyed two bridges and ripped up large sections of the railway.

The water rose from a normal stage of about 2 feet to more than 20 feet in about 16 hours. It covered the railroad tracks 7 to 8 feet deep and covered Main Street 5 feet deep. It raced along at 5 feet per second on Main Street and 18 feet per second in the river channel.

In addition, to the destruction of property, Marshall lost two downtown business people: Altha Briggs and James Guthrie. Virginia Lapham, their family member, will be joining us for this memorial.

We will all congregate at the courthouse at 12 pm. When the clock begins to chime, for the noon hour, we will walk silently across to the middle of the bridge. After reflecting on the horror, that our town went through during this storm, we will throw flowers into the river. Tim Malone, President of the DMA, will be positioning a boat in the river for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, It will have a light shining the whole time to honor our town and the people lost.

We have a DMA working on putting tape on some buildings downtown so you can see with your own eyes how high the water was.

This memorial is one of many gatherings that will be taking place over this week end. On Sunday, The Depot will having a talk about the flood.

‘Magic, Mirth & Meaning’ Fundraiser Magic Show

The Vanishing Wheelchair Little Theatre is the permanent home of the 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity for people with disabilities, The Vanishing Wheelchair, Inc. The Little Theatre at 175 Weaverville Highway, Suite K, in Asheville is the venue for several magic and variety shows for the public and is available for private functions and parties. The monthly magic and variety show, “Magic, Mirth & Meaning,” is a family-friendly, hour-long production that features story tellers, singers, jugglers, and magicians.

.
The show “Magic, Mirth & Meaning” features numerous talents of people with disabilities and those who wish to help them. At any given show, an audience may see singing, story telling, and of course magic. The show appeared and disappeared for several years since the non-profit’s founding on November 24, 2010. On February 20, 2013 the show began appearing in Asheville on a monthly basis, finding its stride at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church.

.
The Vanishing Wheelchair has used the proceeds from the events it hosts to launch “All Things Possible” to teach skills in performing, painting, photography, music, crafts, writing, and wood working to people with disabilities. These workshops are available to other non-profits to share with their clientele and will be conducted at the 175 Weaverville Highway location. Eventually the non-profit wishes to expand to establish a universally accessible hands-on museum for children to explore the arts and sciences at which people with disabilities can work and continue to learn these skills.
