SUMMARY:Mountains as a Destination
DESCRIPTION:BRAHM invites you to join us on the cusp of the 67th annual Blowing Rock Tour of Homes for an enriching evening of architectural history with award-winning author Peggy Smith. \nMountains as a Destination \nMountain landscapes offer the opportunity for recreation and relaxation\, for embracing tradition and assuming new identities\, for strengthening family bonds and making new friends. As chugging trains and improved roads brought outsiders to the high country\, resorts like Blowing Rock developed a distinctive architecture that created a sense of place and enhanced their appeal as tourist attractions. \nOn the eve of Blowing Rock’s Annual Tour of Homes\, Peggy Smith will (boldly) examine Sun Valley\, Aspen\, and Blowing Rock as cool places to visit\, looking especially at the vacation architecture and identities that mountain recreation makes possible. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Animal Enrichment Day
DESCRIPTION:On Animal Enrichment Day\, guests see firsthand how Grandfather Mountain cares for its resident animals. An enrichment is a special treat\, new toy or even an unfamiliar scent given to the animals to break up their routines and help keep them active and intellectually stimulated. Watch enrichment demonstrations\, talk directly with keepers and participate in family-oriented games and crafts. Included with admission. Activities kick off at the Wilson Center for Nature Discovery and adjacent Wildlife Habitats. \nCan’t come to the event but still want to provide a special treat for Grandfather animals? Those interested in gifting them some of their favorite items can do so by checking out the mountain’s animal enrichment wish list featuring appropriate toys and supplies. Donors can purchase an item online and have it delivered straight to Grandfather Mountain for immediate enjoyment. \nAnimal lovers can also contribute through the mountain’s Adopt-an-Animal Program. Honorary adopters receive a photo of their animal\, certificate of adoption\, informational sheet about the animal’s life and more! \nWebsite
