SUMMARY:Folkmoot Festival - Performance and Dinner
DESCRIPTION: A Folkmoot Performance Onstage with a Tented Dinner.  Food Trucks available as well.  Bring your blankets and Lawn Chairs!  Visit https://folkmoot.org/ or call Laura Shepherd at 828-452-2997 for more information. \nFolkmoot History\nIn 1973\, Dr. Clinton Border\, a Waynesville surgeon\, accompanied a local square dance team to a folk festival in Sidmouth\, England. There began the dream that would\, 11 years later\, become Folkmoot USA. Border was convinced that Western North Carolina\, which was already steeped in tradition and dedicated to the preservation of its own heritage\, was the perfect location for an international folk festival in the United States. In Folkmoot’s 35-year history\, the organization has hosted 8\,000 performers from almost 150 countries. Folkmoot performers are primarily college students who serve as cultural ambassadors for their countries. The Folkmoot festival is a strong example of international cultural diplomacy.

SUMMARY:Smoky Mountain Elk Fest – Returns!
DESCRIPTION:Step out of your end-of-summer rut and experience the Annual Smoky Mountain Elk Fest!  The third annual celebration of Elk in the Smokies  is a family-friendly event full of music\, entertainment\, craft vendors\, and educational demonstrations. You can expect to find lots of great food and drinks\, guided hikes\, creekside demonstrations\, wildlife artists\, crafts\, and kid’s activities. \nProceeds from the Elk Fest will help us raise funds for habitat maintenance and create other ways to keep our elk protected and happy. \nElk used to be abundant throughout the Western North Carolina mountains\, but by the mid-1800s\, the population was wiped out due to overhunting and habitat loss. \nAfter extensive research by the Great Smoky Mountain National Park Service and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation\, wild elk were reintroduced into the Cataloochee Valley in 2001. The original herd consisted of 52 elk\, and over the years their numbers have grown to more than 150. \nAs the elk population continues to grow\, though\, there are some interaction issues when the elk end up in places they aren’t supposed to be—for instance\, in our local farmer’s fields. Proceeds from the Elk Fest help us raise funds for habitat maintenance and create other ways to keep our elk protected and happy. \nFor more information visit https://visitncsmokies.com/smoky-mountain-elk-fest/or call 828-944-0761.

SUMMARY:Wilderness Survival Skills Weekend with Nancy East
DESCRIPTION:In today’s world\, you might forget that for all of history\, humankind has lived or journeyed into environments that require fundamental survival skills in order to flourish. Wilderness Survival (also known as bushcraft) is the ability to utilize natural and limited materials in traditional ways to stave alive and escape danger. \nIn modern society\, learning these skills is not only important for the occasional forays into dangerous environments\, but also helps in building confidence\, self-esteem\, and instilling a sense of self-knowledge while re-connecting with nature and our human past. \nWhile we might not think we need these skills if we avoid nature\, there are still instances where we might need to call upon them including natural disasters\, getting lost in the woods\, extreme shifts in weather\, accidents causing some form of incapacitation\, and many other unforeseen circumstances. \nTherefore\, it is prudent and wise for every human to have at least a rudimentary capability in the basic skills of survival to ensure their continued existence. These include the ability to: \n\nBuild a fire\nBuild a shelter\nTie Knots\nNavigate without a GPS\nApply First Aid\nEvaluate gear and supplies\nMaster the essentials of hiking and camping.\n\nThe MSMHC is proud to announce the addition of acclaimed author\, outdoor survival expert\, record setting hiker and elite Wilderness Search and Rescue Team member\, Nancy East\, to our roster of expert artists for our 2022 programs. Nancy will launch the spring hiking season with a presentation on Friday night\, March 18\, describing her adventures as a Search and Rescue member. On Saturday\, March 19 Nancy devotes an entire day to a variety of the above mentioned wilderness survival topics to ensure your safety\, comfort and enjoyment as you create memorable experiences hiking in the Great Smokies. \nSpace is limited to ten students to guarantee individual attention and Nancy provides all materials needed for event.

Streams tucked deep in the iconic Great Smoky Mountains\, and teeming with a wide variety of stocked and native trout – rainbow\, brook and brown trout\, many of them trophy sized specimens. \nSounds like a dream too good to be true—doesn’t it?
