Subject: Success!

The 11th Annual ClydeFEST Kids Carnival of Folk Art Fun was a tremendous success thanks to work on the part of dozens of volunteers. Attendees numbered just under a thousand and came from as far away as Australia! A wonderful new addition this year was the Clyde Jones Camp Scholarships that were awarded to 5 creative young people from Bynum and a new game called Bubble Trouble.

Subject: November workday at the Bynum General Store

Dear friends of Bynum Front Porch,

Saturday, November 19, 9am to 12noon is our next workday at the Bynum General Store.  Our goals are to paint the walls that enclose the heater closet (everyone is tired of looking at that un-finished pressboard), install a real hinged cover for the ceiling exhaust fan opening, paint the window frame around the AC unit, paint the walls around the bathroom entrance, install new siding under the bathroom window, trim trees in the parking area, and of course general cleaning and trash pick-up.

Subject: Thanks for decorations!

We were happy to move into our place in time to have a few years of the pumpkins on Chicken Bridge before they built the new bridge and tore down the old one in the 80′s.  It is fun to see at least a few still put up there each year.

Can’t say how pleased I am that Doug Elliot is coming down from the hills to little ‘ole Bynum. Just spent some time with him at the Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain. This is a real treat, and family friendly. Would be nice if his talented (college) son would be able to come along…..Highly recommended….
 
I’m sure Tyris Jones is excellent too….just never had the pleasure.
