We just got the word that the N.C. Weekend segment featuring Inn on Main Street will be broadcast this Thursday at 9 p.m.. and Friday at 8:30 p.m. over the UNC-TV network. After that, the segment will be available through the UNC-TV web site.

On-air personality Karin Reed and cameraman Mark Stroupe spent a day with us in April, joining our guests for breakfast and exploring our charming Weaverville. It was a perfect follow-up to the UNC-TV produced Our State segment done during last fall’s Weaverville Art Safari. We’re so glad that public broadcasting is helping put our town on the map.

Just as a reminder, you can see our inn and plenty more in the area during the Spring INN Asheville Tour of B&Bs June 9 and 10. We’re on the Sunday segment, and will feature fantastic goodies provided by Jack of Hearts Pub and Stoney Knob Cafe. Proceeds benefit the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, of which we are members. Stay with us that weekend and get free tour tickets, a $50 value.

The spring Art Safari is this weekend, May 12 and 13, with the famous preview party from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, May 11, at Reems Creek Golf Course clubhouse. The price for the preview party remains a ridiculously low $10.

Can’t make it this weekend? Two more events are on the Weaverville calendar and well worth the trip. We’ll blog more about them later. But mark your calendar for May 26, 27 and 28, for Weaverville’s first Roots Festival, a celebration of culture, history and all that makes us unique. Everything’s free. Also, consider joining us for the Asheville Bed and Breakfast Association Tour of Inns on June 9 and 10. Inn on Main Street is on the Sunday segment of the tour, and will feature delectibles from Stoney Knob Cafe and Jack of Hearts Pub. Yum. Our two-night guests get free tickets.
