Autumn Fun at Fields of Fun Corn Maze

Published in Asheville Attractions on October 17, 2010

Elaida's Fields of Fun Corn MazeAutumn is one of my favorite times to be in Asheville. The weather is cooperating for a change (not too hot, not too cold), which makes it a great time to get outside with family and/or friends. What better way to spend that time than at Western North Carolina’s best corn maze? This is a great and inexpensive way to spend a day in the great outdoors. The maze may be the main attraction, but it isn’t all that is on offer. Elaida’s putting on a full-on fall festival every weekend. We’re talking attractions like a slack line, a cow train, pedal carts, live music, festival food and even something called “corn cannons”.

Bele Chere 2010 Pix

Published in Asheville Events on July 26, 2010

Well, events conspired against me and I didn’t get out to Bele Chere as much as I’d planned. Then when I did get out there I had a bit of a camera malfunction, so I didn’t get as many pictures and videos as I’d hoped. Overall, the festival seemed to be a pretty good one, and while I was out there I had lots of fun. Here is a small gallery of the pix I was able to get and some that my boys took. Some are from Friday and some are from Saturday:

Asheville Live Cam Welcomes Bele Chere 2010!

Published in Asheville Events on July 23, 2010

Getting Ready for Bele Chere 2010I took a little stroll around the block this morning and took some pictures and even a video of some of the many people out there getting ready for Bele Chere 2010. This year looks to be a great one for the festival and I can’t wait to get out there this evening after it really starts to get active.

As for this site, you can expect us to be bringing you live views of the whole thing.

We’ll be resetting the views on our cams to provide you with great shots of the action as it happens, so if you can’t be here for the festival, at least you’ll get to see some of it.

I’ll also be out and about with my camera shooting some more pix and videos that I will be posting throughout the weekend.

Below are some of the pix and a video that I shot this morning as people were getting ready.
