To keep from giving away too much about this suspense thriller, I'll describe it in rather broad terms. If you were to combine the TV show 'Dexter' with the movie 'Hostel,' add a touch of 'Forensic Files,' a dash of 'Stepford Wives' and just a pinch of 'Mad About You,' then mixed it all together, you'd have this quirky, unsettling and rewarding play. It's effective blend of romance, satire and dread makes this creepy macabre love story a play you won't soon forget.

Journalists flocked to the region to extract sympathetic profiles of families devastated by poverty, abandoned by establishment politics, and eager to consume cheap campaign promises. What You Are Getting Wrong About Appalachia is a frank assessment of America's recent fascination with the people and problems of the region. The book analyzes trends in contemporary writing on Appalachia, presents a brief history of Appalachia with an eye toward unpacking Appalachian stereotypes, and provides examples of writing, art, and policy created by Appalachians as opposed to for Appalachians. The book offers a must-needed insider's perspective on the region.

Scholars & Scones - GinsengScholars & Scones - Ginseng2021-09-16 11:00:00-0001-11-30 11:00:00Blowing Rock Art & History MuseumBlowing Rock Art & History MuseumThe harvest of wild American ginseng has been an integral part of Appalachian history and culture for over 300 years. As one of the world’s most popular herbal remedies, ginseng is revered in China, where its roots have been consumed for its purported immune-system enhancing and energy-boosting qualities for millenia. While large scale plantations of shade-cultivated ginseng are grown in Wisconsin and Ontario for export to Asia, the cryptic, shade-loving plant grows naturally in the rich mountain forests of western North Carolina. Each fall, locals hit the woods in search of the plant to dig its unique root, which can fetch up to $1,000 per pound. Overharvest and poaching are now threatening this native plant and the traditions that many in the region hold dear. In his presentation, “Roots in Appalachiaâ€, Dr. Jim Hamilton will discuss the significance of ginseng to western North Carolina, its role in local and global markets, and other cultural nuances of ‘seng.
