The Folk Art Center in Valle Crucis will give visitors an
opportunity to explore the High Country's rich history of folk arts.
What better place to do so than the 143-year-old Hard Taylor House?
Area businessman Mike Hulbert leased the house with a vision: to
establish a gallery and emporium solely for the area's best and
brightest folk artists, whose skills vary from goldsmithing to
quilting to banjo crafting.
Featured artists at the center can teach, sell, or teach and sell
their crafts, allowing visitors to bring home authentic goods and a
bit of knowledge.
"Basically, if we can find a folk artist to teach it, we will offer
it," Hulbert said.
Hulbert said that the historic 14-room house provides a perfect
backdrop for the center, each room containing separate or multiple
venues.
Its picturesque surrounding doesn't hurt, either.
"There's a lot of history in this place, which is why I've been
looking at it for a while," said Hulbert of the house, which is
considered to be the oldest in Valle Crucis, located across the way
from Mast General Store.
It was also the first house to feature closets and indoor plumbing
in
the community. Plus, its 18-feet deep well still works.
The center will open May 1, though vendors will start moving in this
Saturday.
"We'll probably have a few people open a few days before [May 1],
but
just to get them acclimated to the building," Hulbert said.
In fact, the goldsmith has already started to set up shop. Hulbert
said that one of the featured golden items will be a handcrafted
cross with "Valle Crucis" carved in it.
The house has an operational kitchen with modern appliances, but the
food stocked there will be anything but modern.
"There'll be a variety of all kinds of stuff that'd be in a
traditional farmhouse kitchen," Hulbert said, mentioning items such
as sauerkraut and handcrafted coffee.
If a visitor's appetite isn't quite there yet, they can explore one
of the house's many rooms, soon to be filled with galleries and
selling venues.
The house is an approximate 4,500 square feet, with about 400 lineal
feet of wall space.
Hulbert expects some of the crafts within will include work by
painters, sculptors and photographers, along with the more
traditional basket weaving, candle making and blacksmithing.
A "folk music historian" will be on the premises at all times,
Hulbert said. Edward Wilkie, owner of Strings music store in
downtown
Boone, is planning to relocate some of his traditional instruments,
such as banjos, fiddles and classic guitars, to the folk center.
"We're hoping to create a concept," Hulbert said. "We decided to
work
it more as a landmark destination that features the best the area
has
to offer."
Many of the venues will feature workshops or classes, Hulbert said,
such as a mountain dulcimer workshop with award-winning dulcimer
maker and performer Joe Collins, already scheduled for June 19 and
Aug. 7.
Following the classes, Collins will perform a concert at the folk
center's outdoor stage. In May, Hulbert plans to bring numerous
bluegrass and folk musicians to the stage for regular weekend
performances.
"We'll get some picnic tables out there, and I encourage people to
just come out and listen to music," Hulbert said. "They don't have
to
do any shopping."
The stage is only the beginning of some of the exterior amenities
the
folk art center will offer.
For one, the deck will be lined with rocking chairs for visitors to
sit a spell.
A local orchard is considering opening shop in the house's side
building for a "Goodness Grows in North Carolina" apple and cider
outlet. In regards to fresh goods, the center will feature a
Saturday
morning "tailgate market" for local farm products, arts, crafts,
antiques and collectibles.
The tailgate market will run from 7 to 11 a.m. every Saturday from
May through October.
The grounds are filled with lush greenery, and are suitable for the
center's Heirloom Garden Club, which will grow and develop display
herb gardens, along with transplanting native plants and flowers to
the landscape.
Garden club members will receive discounts on the folk center's
items, and can attend free classes with master gardeners.
"Anyone who wants to join that, we're ready," Hulbert said. "We've
got plenty of gardens to play with."
The greenery surrounds a gazebo, ideal for weddings, Hulbert said,
and adjacent to a pond filled with bass and sunfish. Come October,
visitors can tread through a pumpkin patch, perhaps in search of the
Great Pumpkin.
In December, wreath-makers and Christmas tree growers will plant
their roots at the center, providing seasonal offerings for
visitors.
Prior to the center, the house had sat vacant for two years.
It was once home to Shops at the Farmhouse, an emporium shopping
center with imported gifts, and afterwards, the Farmhouse Craft
Shop.
Hulbert said that the primary difference between the Folk Art Center
and other mountain emporiums is that the center will solely sell
homemade, local products with the exception of a few sundry items in
the gift shop, such as drinks, film, batteries and postcards.
Hulbert said that the center is currently seeking folk artists and
crafters "in all mediums" to participate in the galleries or venues,
or to teach classes.
"We want people to get up and be involved in anything they can,"
Hulbert said. "I want the center to eventually take on a life of its
own."

Some of my friends have managed to meet a few nice ones off this thing (here is
the place they told me: http://www.wilddelight.info/qssjh , but what do you guys
reckon? Myself, I actually think it is pretty awesome from what I've seen, and
Im considering getting on there later on this evening. If you don't know what it
is, basically its like a matchingplace, but has few added things I noticed.
Stuff like messenger, vidchat, picsrate, etc. Best part is you can talk to
ppl on vidchat even if you don't have it enabled yourself.
To the one and only true God whom I serve, I am offering this formal
public apology for the inhumane treatment handed out by my fellow
Americans and our government to your prophet and witness to America,
Vince Diehl. Neither your servant or any other human being should
ever be treated in this way, and certainly not by the government that
claims to protect their citizens rights rather than carrying out such
demonic practices.
Therefore, I publicly ask your forgiveness for unknowingly being in
any way part of what has been done to Mr. Diehl, and allowing my
country to become a place where such horrible things could happen.
When your wrath is poured out on this country, and I completely
understand why it will be, I humbly ask that you will consider my
ignorance and contrition as I present this public apology to whomever
will read it and know of my guilt and sorrow over it. I ask your
forgiveness, in Christ's name, and apologize publicly for my family
being part of the persecution of your bond servant, Vince Diehl.
For anyone who is wondering what this apology is about, you will find
what America did to Vince Diehl at:

The hundred or so prophecies that Vince Diehl issued in writing in
the early 1990's regarding America are found at:

Thought I should pass on my knowledge to all you guys (and gals) on here. I know
like heaps of men I am pretty shy when it comes to going up to someone.
I've tried a few different places (clubs, bars, etc) but never seem to have too
much luck. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I joined up to
http://www.webconnectionz.info/wikd and I have to say I am already getting
excited. I was beginning to think I'd end up being alone for ever, but already
been talking to a few interestedladies on there. Anyway, if you're like me it
comes highly recommended!
Thought i would share something with ya'll. Great fun and it does actually work.
Met my girl on here, http://www.seekdating.info/bwmx and so far it's been
the best year of my life ever! Wish you all the same happiness.
check out this place guys, its great, my new homepage lol!
http://gettingaroundit.info/xijo i only got on there about 2 hours ago, but
already loving the hell out of it. see ya's there

I am posting this because a man who has a proven track
record of having all (which includes over one hundred)
of his prophecies regarding America come about exactly
as he has said, all of which anyone can easily verify,
has now issued a written prophecy that says before the
year 2006 ends, not only will America experience a
severe flu pandemic (not bird flu) which will kill
tens of millions, and bring about entire city
quarantines, but that because it will be spread
through our food supply the government will be forced
to all but eliminate or destroy our food chain, which
will then bring on the worst famine in history,
killing tens of millions more.
Even more scarey is that he provides Scriptural
Support for every word said in his prophecy, likening
it to Ezekiel 5:10, which declares it will be so bad
that men will literally eat their own children. Also,
if you watch the news, almost immediately after this
man's prophecy was issued President Bush began reading
anything he can find on pandemics !
We are not posting this message to create panic, but
as responsible people we have set up a website for the
purpose of gathering as much wisdom as possible as to
what we as individuals can do to care for, or to
otherwise protect our families should the above take
place. Which quite frankly, there are too many people
in authority concerned about it for us to just stick
our heads in the sand and pretend its not reality.
As part of our effort to collect wisdom, we are asking
anyone who knows of legitimate common sense things
people can do for themselves should it come about, to
contribute articles which will then be edited and
posted on our site, giving credit to their author by
name if the author desires.
We - DO NOT - solicit nor do we accept monetary
contributions. However, if you would like to
contribute your wisdom, or, would be willing to act
in the capacity as an editor, to filter out any
obvious things that do not belong on our site, we
would certainly appreciate your efforts. This is not a
commercial endeavor. Neither do we have any type of
paid staff. It is exactly as it is represented above
and nothing more.
There has alwasy been wisdom found in numbers and we
are asking for yours.
We would like for you to at least look at what we are
doing in hopes that doing so will encourage you to
participate by contributing your own wisdom. Everyone
is an expert in at least one field. Our site is at:
http://www.FAMINE2006.org/think_tank_frames.html
We will appreciate it if you just take a look.

Most people know the Bible says God will literally destroy a certain
nation it refers to as the fourth empire (kingdom) and both of its
neighbors by
literally burning them off the face of the earth - in just one hour.
Until now that all sounded like just another absurd prophecy that was
scientifically impossible to ever be carried out.
NOT ANY MORE ITS NOT !!
It has now been documented to not only be possible, but very PROBABLE
that such will soon take place.
The problem is, it's now proven scientifically likely that it will
happen to US Americans.
Go to the following site and click on the very first link titled
"CREATING HELL", and read it for yourself. It's a MOST interestng
read
to say the very least. The rest of that entire page is an index of
prophecies
regarding America. The top link however is scientific fact, complete
with lots
of supporting links.

well ive been busy the last few weeks moving into my brand new house...i never
thought i would get such a good deal until i found
http://www.getitoutoftheway.info/kbuc now theres no looking back!
This message applies to every breathing American, no matter what you
believe in or don't. Whether you claim to be a flag waver, or a flag
burner: Whether you claim to believe there's a God, or not: Whether
you love Bush, or just want him to drown: There is something really
seriously wrong with our country, and the fact that it would turn out
this way has been predictable for years. The problem is, no one wants
to hear it because America's CHURCHES have caused it, and who among
you wants to go against THEM.
.
WANT PROOF !!
.
I have found more SCRIPTURAL proof than you care to look at.
.
Its called The Abomination That Causes Desolation.

Although all of the one hundred or so articles in the index this link
takes you to support what I just said, If you go directly to page
fifteen (15) there won't be any doubt left in your mind. There's even
a section that provides a place for you to cite any Scripture you
think proves what is being said is wrong.
.
I personally would like to see more reader comments, if anyone cares
to try and stump the writers.
.
If you have a dispute with something written in the
America-In-Prophecy site, but do not want to submit it personally,
please send it to me, and I'll be glad to submit your challenge for
you in your name. I have mailed questions to the site, and the
writers are very prompt with their replies.
My e-mail address is ky_nglls@... .

Hope to hear from you soon.
