Design Charrette Report

"Professor Jay Tomlinson from North Carolina State University will return to Hayesville on Thursday, May 29th to formally present the Hayesville Design Charrette report. In March, a team of 30-35 landscape architecture students and five professors from NC State traveled from Raleigh to spend three days planning a suggested unified design for our town. This report is the culmination of those three days by the students and professors. The Clay County Communities Revitalization Association invites ALL Clay County residents to this presentation which will be held Thursday, May 29th at 5:30 P.M. at the Truett Baptist Church. Professor Tomlinson will present the report, followed by questions and answers.

Democrat Rally

Saturday, May 31st Democrats from the tri-county area will be hosting a Rally in support of local and statewide candidates running in the November General Election. Democratic candidates will have the opportunity to speak to the crowd and hand out campaign literature and yard signs. This may be the only time some statewide candidates make it over to western North Carolina where constituents will be able to chat one-on-one with them.

Bill and Dianne Wells owners of Mission Farm on Highway 64 East in Murphy have graciously donated the use of their "Big Red Barn" and surrounding land for the event. Food and drinks will be on hand as well as vendors with Democratic items for sale.

Local favorites the "Gnarly Fingers" band will provide musical entertainment. There will be door prizes from local merchants and each co-sponsor will have their own table for information, donations and items for fundraising.

The public is invited to attend this free event. If you are voting Democratic this season wear your candidate pins and display your support. If you'd be interested in displaying or selling any Democratic or Donkey items, contact one of the people listed below.

Gates will open at 5:00PM. Look for directional arrows and campaign signs along Highway 64 east for the correct gate entrance area.
