Greening Up the Mountains: A Festival in Sylva, NC

Greening Up the Mountains is a nice little festival in downtown Sylva, NC. The festival is held the last weekend in April each year and has around 200 different vendors, including those at the farmers market. Various musical acts perform throughout the festival in different locations. If you are hungry there are food vendors as well. Hint: Don't try and park downtown, like we did, if you visit the festival. Instead park at the Justice Center and take the shuttle. You will be much happier.

Mini Truckin' National Photos

The 22nd Annual SouthEast Mini Truckin' Nationals was held once again in beautiful Maggie Valley, NC and we were there to bring you some photos from Saturday morning's show. Friday started off wet but by Saturday morning the sun was trying to peak out and the truck show was slowly filling the fairgrounds.

Goodbye, Hearsela!

After a very long time sitting in Bubba's Garage, we came to the conclusion that our 1963 Cadillac Hearse known as "Hearsela" would never get restored. Lack of time was the biggest issue.  We sold her and she is now headed for the West coast.  She left her mark on the garage floor; you could see the entire x-frame from where rust had fallen to the floor. Anyone have a tissue? I think I might cry.

Bubba's Garage Invades North Carolina

Do you ever have one of those ideas that just comes together quicker than you ever thought could? We had been thinking of finding a location further south during the last couple of months. Our searches had us settling in Western North Carolina (WNC) and in December we scheduled a meeting with a potential realtor firm, Brevard Realty Team, in the town of Brevard, NC. While we absolutely loved the town, housing options within walking distance to downtown left us feeling depressed. We weren't really ready to purchase anything. We were just scouting out neighborhoods. So, Lazelle Calloway, from the Brevard Realty Team, suggested we take a look at Waynesville, NC. We scheduled time to look at a few houses and we fell in love with the town.  It was getting late and I was ready to just have some fun. I didn't want to look at anymore houses but we had one more scheduled. The last house we were going to look at during this trip.

Wouldn't you know it; perfect location, almost perfect layout, large basement garage. Thanks goes to the Brevard Realty Team for doing such a great job making this happen so quick. We now have a second location from which to explore more festivals and area happenings! Waynesville, Excellent!
