Dear Traveler:

The tree’s down, the packages unwrapped and the confetti’s (mostly) swept away. We’re here at Adventurist HQ making our New Year’s Resolution lists and, “Have a fantastic 2019 in Transylvania County” is coming in right at the top. Fortunately for us, that should be a pretty easy goal to accomplish. Even January, a month well-suited for quiet, peaceful walks and long evenings by the fire, is full of awesome events and cool things to check out around Brevard. 

And because resolutions are often hard to keep we're offering one lucky person the chance to win a Winter Woodland Getaway of their own. Click this link to learn more. 

So go ahead and resolve to start this New Year with a trip to Brevard. 

Catch you on the trail,  
The Adventurist

This could be your year to catch the big one. The first stop down that road could be learning how to tie local fly patterns popular both in and around Western North Carolina and around the world. Master fisherman Kevin Howell leads this fascinating and informative workshop. Spaces fill up fast so reserve your spot today. 

Sometimes you need a quiet place to finish a great story. At this fun, family-friendly event, parents and kids are invited to bring their own fort building supplies and create a reading nook like no other. Snacks provided. Imagination encouraged.

Ready to get your hands dirty? This introductory pottery class gives you the chance to try out the wheel and start making your own personal collection. The cost includes three self-practice sessions at Open Studio time.

It may still be a little ways to St Paddy’s Day, but fans of traditional Irish music need not wait so long. Set your toes to tapping to an energetic free performance by Galkin Team with guitar, violin, tin whistle and a variety of other Celtic instruments.

Also of note in January:

Coming soon: Is that love in the air? Now’s the time to start making plans with your sweetheart to spend Valentine’s Day in Transylvania County.
