☕️Something's Been Brewing — and We're Ready to Share It!

Introducing our new Events Committee and a full season of crafts, creativity, and games!

At this month's board meeting, something exciting became official: our community now has a dedicated Events Committee. What started as a conversation about bringing people together has turned into a real, chartered group with a mission to build regular programming that's fun, welcoming, and worth showing up for.

We hit the ground running — because we already have a full lineup to announce.

The Wednesday Craft Series

Every Wednesday from 11am-1pm is now dedicated to making things together! We've built a three-part series designed for every kind of crafter — from total beginners to folks who just need a table and some company.

🎨Open Crafting Hours

Bring your own craft (BYOC) and settle in. Work on whatever you're making — no agenda, no instruction, just good company and a dedicated space to create.

All sessions are open to everyone. Bring your enthusiasm, your WIP, and pull up a chair! Hot tea and coffee provided by BCC.

🖍️Mini Makers · Every 2nd Wednesday

A kid-friendly craft session designed for little hands and big imaginations. Each month features a fun, age-appropriate project kids ages 5 and up can complete and take home — no experience needed, just curiosity.

*$5 suggested donation/no one turned away for inability to pay*

🎨Craft of the Month · Every 4th Wednesday

Once a month we will spotlight a single craft — supplies are provided, skills are optional. Come learn, come teach, or just come see what everyone else is making!

The Events Committee is just getting started, and we’d love to hear what kinds of programming matter most to you. If you have ideas, want to help run a session, or just want to say hello — reach out! This is a community effort, and the more people involved, the better it gets.

A huge THANK YOU to Benny Arrington, his wife Jane and son Stephen from Barber Orchards Fruit Stand for a great presentation on Modern Apple Farming at last night’s potluck dinner. We all learned so much, including why there are so many little trees now and the burning question - why the trees have that one tall limb at the top! I personally am looking forward to taste testing the Evercrisp to the Honeycrisp when they harvest them later this year.

A great view of our Balsam Community Pantry with the train coming through from the 3rd floor of the Balsam Mountain Inn. The train is more active now with the tracks finally repaired after Helene.

Join us Thursday, May 21 at 6:30 PM for our monthly Balsam Community Center Potluck Dinner! 🍎🍽️

This month we're excited to welcome Benny Arrington of Barber Orchards Fruit Stand as our guest speaker. Benny will share about Modern Apple Farming and give us a behind-the-scenes look at an industry that's such an important part of our mountain community.

BCC will provide chicken — please bring a side dish, salad, or dessert to share.

And don’t forget a few dollars for our Homemade Dessert Raffle! 🍰

Good food, great people, and a great evening of learning and fellowship. Invite your neighbors! Everyone is welcome! We’d love to see you there!
