Many people have heard of Banner Elk’s Woolly Worm Festival. But have you heard of the Valle Country Fair, located just seven miles away in Valle Crucis?
The Valle Country Fair is an overgrown church bazaar set in the center of one of the most picturesque valleys in the North Carolina Mountains at the peak of the fall color season. The fair was started by a small church as a small fundraiser and it has now grown into an annual happening that attracts thousands. The fair raised more than $45,000 for local charities in 2006. All monies raised go to fund High Country organizations which serve people in need.
At the fair, you will find 135 juried fine art & crafts booths, freshly pressed apple cider, hot-out-of-the-kettle apple butter, homemade jams & jellies, Brunswick stew, chili, and barbecue.
The fair will be held on the third Saturday in October (October 18, 2008) at the Valle Crucis Conference Center on Highway 194. Admission is free, although there is a $5 fee for parking.
The proceeds from the 2008 fair will benefit the Watauga Humane Society, the Western Youth Network, the Hunger & Health Coalition, the Watauga Basic Skills, Hospice/Palliative Care of Avery County, Community Care Clinic, W. A. M. Y. Community Action, the Hospitality House, and Caregiver's Haven.So come out and join us at the Valle Country Fair!
