Big goings-on in Blowing Rock

The quaint, picturesque village of Blowing Rock will be busy over the next several months. Its 44th annual Art in the Park will be held one Saturday over the next six months, according to Scott Seaman of the Blowing Rock Victorian Inn. The dates for the event are May 13th, June 10th, July 15th, August 12th, September 19th and October 7th from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the American Legion Grounds in Blowing Rock.

In addition, the village will be hosting Celtic Festival 2006 on May 20th from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. "by the lake," with a concert to follow at 7.

The Guilde of St. Andrew of North Carolina recreates the ambiance, intrigue and pagentry of the 16th century noble and royal life, with particular emphasis on the Court of Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots.

Be sure to enjoy turkey legs, roasted corn on the cob, Celtic beers and drink. You can also trace your family roots, see Falconry demonstrations and much more.
