Welcome to Town!! I am so happy you’re here! Meet me at the top of the Radical Hotel at 6 pm (“The Roof”, 95 Roberts Street, Asheville 28801; street parking nearby). They’ve got light snacks and drinks and one of the best views in town. Pick up your gift bag and scavenger hunt instructions here!

After The Roof, we can wander down the street to RAD Brewing and food trucks, and for those interested, into downtown to see where the night takes us!

MORNING COFFEE: Let’s meet at 9 am at Grind AVL in the River Arts District (RAD) before heading down your chosen path.

LUNCHTIME OPTIONS:

1. A downtown day: wander the shops and art galleries of Asheville, take a yoga class at ACY, try the coffee at Farewell, wine at Eulogy, and chocolates at Chocolate Fetish and French Broad (both)!

2. Hike to lunch: we’ll grab to-go tacos from Taco Billy’s or sandwiches from Ultra and carpool out to a nearby trail (within 30 min). Trail TBD- awaiting news of the Parkway’s reopening. Possibly Lookout Trail in Montreat (Probably my chosen path!)

3. Mountain-biking: For anyone who needs to shred!! Launching from Bent Creek.

MAIN EVENT: Saturday 4-11 pm

The Pond Retreat Center, 18 Garren Mtn Lane, Fairview, 28730. Come put your feet in the creek, play some lawn games, dinner & drinks (with vegetarian and GF options), and as the sun goes down, fireflies and frogs, a bonfire, live music, and s’mores! Anyone is welcome to camp out here- especially if they plan on drinking.

Lazy brunch at TBD
