🔥 Post-Helene Strange Magic 🔥

We've all been through a lot. Many of us are still processing. Our hearts break for our friends who lost their businesses, and community members who lost much more. Seeing Western NC come together like never before is awe-inspiring, to say the least. Are you wondering what more YOU can do? PLEASE get out and support our Asheville small businesses that have reopened and show them some love.
Check out our Insta Reel to see some love that we stumbled upon recently. These otherwise depressing cut trees were transformed through a little paint and AVL magic! This newsletter features just a few of the many things going on today and tomorrow. Find a more robust list on your Dig Local app (available on the App Store and Google Play) Let's get out there, spread some love, and experience some Asheville Halloween magic! 🎃
