LENOIR, N.C. – Many of you are not aware of the website for our new business venture, Grassroots Appalachia. So, while I finish a more extensive article on what’s going on here and why we’re doing it, I’m asking you to go on over to the Grassroots Appalachia website to get the CliffsNotes version of our story.

We have the new Mountain edition of Our State magazine in. You’ll not find a better publication at any price, let alone $9.99. Stop in, pick up a copy and take a look around in person at our Gallery and Fair Trade Store at 458-B Harper Ave., Lenoir. We’re open Wednesday thru Saturday 11-4 and at other times for special events. You can catch a sneak peak at our upcoming Art Exhibit, “The Spirit of Appalachia.”
