Well, at long last, summer is finally here! The Chamber gets many questions this time of year from business owners inquiring “when are the visitors coming?” The long standing answer is about two weeks after most schools in our target markets are out. This means that the third week of June is when we start to see more weekday business. Then of course the week of the fourth of July comes and we generally forget about when they are coming and just dig in and “git ‘er done”. All of our businesses, the town, the chamber, the service organizations, the TDA and visitors centers have been working diligently for many months to “tee up” the ball for the season. All the ads are printed, visitor guides and maps distributed, the flowers are planted and beautiful, the streets and sidewalks are repaired, Member Events, News and Updates An Appalachian Summer Festival Kicks Off Bill Cosby, Turchin Center Summer Exhibition Celebration & Creedence Clearwater Revisited with Lee Brice Kick perform Begins Saturday and continues through July www.appsummer.org Gentle Rings, Dulcimer Strings Blowing Rock School Auditorium Saturday, June 30th, 8pm www.mountainhomemusic.com 828-964-3392 Great American BBQ Green Park Inn Saturday, June 30, 6:00-10:00pm $15.95 Adults; $7.95 Kids; Free Under 3 Cash Bar; By the Pool; Great Spot for Viewing Fireworks Village Cafe Will be open on Monday, July 2, 8:00am-2:30pm Serving Breakfast all day.

The shops are brimming with new merchandise, the windows are decorated with merchandise enticing customers, the restaurant menus have been tweaked and tested, the hotels, inns and lodges are clean, painted, and landscaped beautifully. The staff has been hired and trained in customer service and the schedule is complete. This is the time we all must shine. We have had plenty of time to prepare, so it is imperative that we execute the plan. We all must work very hard to make sure the “prettiest little town in North Carolina” is also friendly, genuine, and warm. If we can do this, they will come back year after year. Who know, they may even decide to make Blowing Rock their home! Above Top: Pictured are Ken and Brad of Gentle Rings, Dulcimer Strings.
