Joe and I checked out the Sourwood Festival in Black Mountain yesterday, what a blast! We both agreed that we'd rather go to something like this than Bele Chere any day. There was lots of great food, some Celtic music, a guy with a guitar that we didn't bother to stick around and hear, and plenty of arts and crafts. I picked up this mug from a booth and included the guys business card in the picture just in case you might be interested in similar pottery. If you can't read it and you're interested in similar stuff, his email is jrzehmer [at] earthlink [dot] net.

Here are a few more pictures of the festival:

And I managed to snap this nice shot of the railroad as it comes through (or behind) downtown Black Mountain. I liked the shot, seemed kind of peaceful...
