NC Gold Festival

It’s Official! We’re Bringing It Home to the NC Foundation Grounds and The Lucky Strike Gold and Gem Mine. Come and visit the location where miners have found gold for more than a century.

This is a festival to celebrate our North Carolina “Golden” Heritage. Come out and learn the latest techniques. Step back in time and learn the fine art of gold panning in the river. Visit the many vendors that will be on hand with the latest in gold mining equipment. We will have a lapidarist on hand to demonstrate the fine art of gem faceting. Watch as we stamp a Vein Mountain Gold piece similar to the way the Becthler coin was stamped. We will also have a live band, smoked BBQ, nugget races, horse shoes, and much, much more. There will be free admission. All ages welcome!

Asheville e-Sports Minecraft Saturday (8-14yrs)

Wow! Who DOESN’T know a kid who loves Minecraft and a parent worried that he’s missing out on interaction in person with others?

It’s the launch of Asheville e-Sports, brought to you by Tek-Kids. Never heard of e-Sports before? It’s a structured way for young people to use their gaming skills in competition with other people their age. But there’s also plenty of silly, good-natured fun along the way.

We are beginning with a Minecraft event. This event is intended for young people between ages 8 and 14. Children under 8 can participate, but we request that they have an adult on site. We will be playing Minecraft competitively on a closed server (not open to the public). In addition to the competitive games, we will also have some servers dedicated to more relaxed styles of play (creative/survival).

The server will be open the entire time to allow for ad hoc gaming throughout our time there. Periodically we will run more structured competitions. These events will get projected onto the big screen, so even if you’re not playing, you can still get into the action.
PC/Mac or Pocket Edition.

May 27th & 28th @ 7:30pm

Leon Tolchinsky is ecstatic. He’s landed a terrific teaching job in an idyllic Russian hamlet. When he arrives he finds people sweeping dust from the stoops back into their houses and people milking cows upside down to get more cream. The town has been cursed with Chronic Stupidity for 200 years and Leon’s job is to break the curse. No one tells him that if he stays over
24 hours and fails to break the curse, he too becomes Stupid. But, he has fallen in love with a girl so Stupid that she has only recently learned how to sit down.
