The Holiday Season brings people together through shared traditions. We watch children’s faces light up with joy and wonder as they wait in line to share their wish lists with Santa Claus. We gather with our neighbors along city sidewalks for festive parades and in town squares for Christmas tree lightings. We attend services, plays, pageants, concerts, choir performances, and countless other holiday-themed events, too, all to keep the spirit of the season alive in our hearts and in our communities from year to year. ...read more

Even before we bought the Mast General Store, we were taken by the beauty of Valle Crucis. We’ve heard people describe the drive out Broadstone Road as traveling through a time portal. In the 1970s, fields in the river bottoms would be filled with tobacco, cabbage, or high with hay to feed cattle that were grazing in the summer pasture. ...read more

The lucky few who have seen the Earth from a different perspective – astronauts - all echo the same viewpoint upon their return. Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut and the first human to go to space, commented, “Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it.”

Who can forget one of Yogi Bear’s favorite catchphrases, “A pic-a-nic basket has everything a bear needs?” Jellystone Park was definitely a perfect place to enjoy a meal alfresco, but did you know that picnics were affairs originally held indoors? And that there is science behind many of the foods commonly found nestled in a picnic hamper? Yep, there’s a reason we crave watermelon this time of year. ...read more

The Appalachian Mountains were the western frontier in the 1700s. Those who adventured into these formidable hills were hearty souls indeed. Self-sufficient, creative, strong-willed, often stubborn, and isolated are a few other words that would be good descriptors. Because of their isolation even on into the 20th century, the mountain folk held onto many traditions from the Old Country. ...read more

Last fall, a two-week tour of epic proportions crossed North Carolina. It began in the Pisgah National Forest, twisted through the Smoky Mountains, maneuvered up into the High Country, rolled down to the Foothills and Piedmont, and eventually reached the sandy plains of the coast. It stopped over in more than a dozen towns all across the Old North State, literally “from Murphy to Manteo.” ...read more
