25th Lake Eden Arts Festival
August 31st, 2007
Black Mountain
The autumn Lake Eden Arts Festival at Camp Rockmont in Black Mountain is scheduled for October 19, 20 and 21 at the very height of fall leaf-looker season in the mountains. Marking its 25th festival, the lineup this year is spectacular.
LEAF has become a regular WNC institution with two festivals a year, spring and fall. There are numerous artists displaying their work, plenty of fun activities for children and adults, lots of live music day and night, and many gifted performers. The LEAF sponsors offer programs internationally and in inner cities here in the U.S. that match children with instruments and residency mentors, bringing some of the best from Guatamala, Rwanda, Panama and elsewhere to show off their talents during the festivals.
The setting is beautiful Lake Eden surrounded by mountains, and families can purchase day-tickets, weekend tickets and the “weekend-plus” passes that cover 3.5 days and 3 nights of overnight camping at any of several fine lakeside camping areas.

August 19th, 2007
The 61st annual North Carolina Apple Festival cranks up over the Labor Day weekend, August 31 - September 3 in historic downtown Hendersonville, North Carolina. The orchards of Henderson County in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina produce more apples than any other county in the state, and don’t mind letting people know about it in the most delicious of terms!
Hendersonville blocks off its Main Street during the 4-day AppleFest, offering continuous live music, mountain arts and crafts, activities and lots of good apple foods. There are fresh-picked apples, one at a time or by the peck or bushel. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty and Galas, or any of a variety of heirloom varieties grown in Henderson County. There will be apple fritters, apple pies, apple dumplings, apple butter, apple sauce and barrels of fresh-squeezed apple cider. Children’s and youth activities, special exhibits, open houses, and the spectacular King Apple Parade to start things off!
