As the sun is out and the spring birds sing today in Brasstown, NC the JCCFS campus feels a little heavier than it did just a few days ago. We received some terrible news that Tim Ryan famed auctioneer, teller of tall tales, scrabble extraordinaire, blacksmith, bonsai instructor, landscaper and campus staple has been admitted to Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC with serious health complications that are not looking good. Please keep Tim and his family in your prayers.

Meetings are held on the 3rd Saturday of each month.

All visitors are welcome to attend.

We currently have need for demonstrators and host shops.

These locations can change during the year so please
review this listing and the EVENTS/CALENDAR prior to each meeting date.
