Letter from Blowing Rock Mayor Charlie Sellers

Iwould like to welcome back our summer residents and visitors to our beautiful town of Blowing Rock. Now, we are into 2023 and looking forward to a great summer in our fabulous community with Art in the Park in full swing the second Saturday of each month through October, outdoor entertainment at local venues, restau- rants at full capacity, the 100th annual Blowing Rock Charity Horse Show, Saint Mary’s Tour of Homes, and the Symphony by the Lake at Chetola.

The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum, The 1888 Museum, the Artist in Residence at Edgewood Cottage — which welcomes visitors, local tourist attractions — and all retailers and restaurants are in full swing ready to serve your needs.

During 2023, a number of very positive changes have and are taking place in our community: The construction of the new history walk down Laurel Lane and around Broyhill lake has been completed. The 1888 Museum is being restored to its original appearance and the replacement of water and sewer lines will begin on Main Street with a completion within nine months so there will be traffic delays, please be patient. Once again, welcome to all of you that make our town a special place to visit and call home.
