Show Preview & Apple Festival
Back to the Main Trip 2003 page | Next Page
Thursday, October 2nd
- the big day with the show
preview at 6 p.m. We want to
explore before getting in line for the preview at the old high school. First we
wandered over to Jonesborough, home of the International Story Teller’s
Festival, the other major event in this part of Tennessee. The countryside is
beautiful with just a touch of fall color and Jonesborough is all decked out.
Then it’s back to Erwin for a quick stop at John Hashe’s Main Street store and
the new Valley Beautiful antique mall. We must say that the town doesn’t seem
quite the same without Maxie English’s Blue Ridge shop, always a focal point
for Blue Ridge pilgrims. It should also be mentioned that the Hanging Elephant,
another longtime Blue Ridge shopping place in Erwin, has closed.
