Lucky Plush Productions Trip the Light Fantastic: The Making of SuperStrip stage production

“A high-octane blend of winning performance, humor and passion that explores the obstacles that contemporary do-gooders face every day. Artistic Director Julia Rhoads’ much-loved dance-theater company, Lucky Plush Productions, which often takes a deceptively lighthearted approach to serious subjects, debuts its new work, Trip the Light Fantastic: The Making of SuperStrip.”

YAMATO: The Drummers of Japan Bakuon – Legend of the Heartbeat stage production

“For the men and women of Yamato, the pulse of ancient taiko drumming is as familiar as their own heartbeats. The group’s newest show, Bakuon – Legend of the Heartbeat, is ripe with the thundering rhythm and jaw-dropping skill that thrilled Mainstage audiences at the troupe’s 2013 performances in Asheville. Yamato’s master drummers pour their souls into their shows, performing on an unimaginable array of instruments in all sizes – including a massive odaiko drum made from a 400-year-old tree and measuring six feet in diameter. Yamato is simply delightful, joyfully carrying on the troupe’s motto, “Go anywhere if invited and make the world a little more happy.””

Candlelight Christmas Evenings … Select evenings, Nov 1st-Jan 4th … Biltmore House greets you with the soft glow of luminaries and holiday lights on a towering Norway spruce.

Live performances of Christmas music add to your self-guided evening visit, which includes admission to Antler Hill Village & Winery. The Village is a must-see part of your holiday experience: trees, buildings, and pathways to our restaurants, shops, and Winery are illuminated with a glittering cascade of lights, the fountain is aglow with special visual effects, and the ornament display that adorns the Winery’s Tasting Room ceiling is nothing short of stunning. Evening Admission Pricing: $74 – $99

“Biltmore was the vision of George W. Vanderbilt. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt, the 250-room French Renaissance chateau is America’s largest home. On exhibit is the Vanderbilt family’s original collection of furnishings, art and antiques. The estate is a National Historic Landmark and encompasses 8,000 acres of renowned gardens and grounds designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.  


Under leadership of Vanderbilt’s great-grandson, Biltmore has grown to include the four-star Inn on Biltmore Estate, Antler Hill Village, its award-winning Winery and Antler Hill Farm.

Annual Anti Valentines Pillow Fight!

“Its on, folks!! Bring out yer pillows (NOT FEATHER!!) your costumes, and your swinging attitudes for a friendly Anti-Valentines Pillow Fight! PLEASE SHARE WIDELY!! The More the merrier! 🙂

Usually hosted by the (everyone knows him!) incredible Solon Smith, but he’s been busy running his successful and oh-so-incredible life, so I’m making this event instead!

Here are a couple awesome music videos of the pillow fight:

2011: http://vimeo.com/20203667 Music by Sleigh Bells, video credit to Paul Anderson – great video man!

And the 2013 video: By Katie Damien – loved it!
http://vimeo.com/60340994

This event was inspired by the thousands-strong “Anti-Valentines Day Pillowfight” they have in San Francisco every year. One of Solon’s favorite experiences in that city 🙂 Just another way to have fun and protest the commercialization of human relationships!

Also, remember no feather pillows! Also, take your glasses off before the fight or they’ll get knocked off your head. 8-)”

Beignets and Coffee + a Garden Party!

This Spring, OWL Bakery will be opening its doors, but we just can’t wait that long to meet you all!

On Sunday, February 14th, we are thrilled to invite our community to come out to the soon-to-be OWL Bakery space to meet us and to have hot beignets (made with our croissant dough) and Mountain Air Roasting Coffee brewed by John Linch.

We’ll also be getting a head start on revitalizing our little corner, so for those who want to rustle around in our future garden space and help us with some light cleaning and soil preparation, we would love your company.

We’ll crank up the fryer and the coffee pots around noon! Please note this is an outdoor event.

(Donations for beignets, in the usual form or by lending some helping hands, are welcome.)

Beignets, Mountain Air Roasting Coffee, Hot Cider, Granola Samples, Light Garden Activities.”
