Catch the Spirit of Appalachia is producing their "Traditional Heritage Walk" at Gateway Flea Market in Whitter, NC, from 10am until 3pm on Saturday, August 14. With their mission of "keeping heritage" alive, the local nonprofit is presenting vendors who will be demonstrating their crafts, sharing their knowledge with those who come to this 3rd annual Heritage Day.
“We’re going to have a great time,” says Gail Stillwell Cooper, owner of the Shops at Gateway. “My regular dealers here in the market are joining in the fun, wearing heritage clothing, demonstrating and showcasing their wares. They are as excited as I am about the upcoming festive celebration for Gateway. With Catch the Spirit of Appalachia here with their demonstrators, it makes all of us want to pull up a chair, do a little whittling and tell our heritage stories.”
Located half-way between Sylva and Bryson City, and 4 miles out of Cherokee on US Highways 74 and 441, the shops at Gateway are themselves a fine place to shop. Add in the traditional heritage, and you'll have a great time! Call 828-497-9664 more information.
