Good day and welcome to DKos Asheville. This is the weekly DKos Asheville Open Thread for Saturday, July 15th, 2023.

This space appears each weekend to give readers a variety of links to local and regional news of interest, and opens the floor for comment and discussion. Wishing all a good day from beautiful Western North Carolina.

“Daily Kos fights for a progressive America by empowering its community and allies with information and tools to directly impact the political process.”

Short diary today, trying to finish moving this weekend. Stay safe!

Mountain Express, Andy Hall, 7/11/2023

Over 40 regional artists and crafters will set up booths along Dillsboro’s Front Street on Saturday, July 15, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

The event highlights the mountain traditions of Appalachia. “Dillsboro has long been known for its arts and crafts, and it’s one of the reasons people discover our area and Western North Carolina,” says Julie Donaldson, executive director of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce.

The eighth annual show will also feature live music starting at 10:30 a.m. with “Blue Ridge balladeer” singer-songwriter Anna Victoria, followed by multigenre singer Suzie Copeland and ending with a 2 p.m. performance by Twelfth Fret, a married duo that covers classic rock and pop.

“We have some talented regional musicians and dancers performing, as well as excellent local restaurants, breweries and event vendors,” says Kelly Donaldson, assistant director of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. “There is truly something for everyone.”
