From this week’s Weaverville Tailgate Market e-newsletter:
Last week was great, thanks to all our loyal shoppers and hardworking vendors for such a bountiful and bustling market!
Probably the most interesting thing to all of you: our corn-and-watermelon guy will be back, with an even bigger truckload (load will be bigger, I would guess it’s the same truck…) of goods.
Possibly also interesting: watercress, apples, eggplant, melons, hot and sweet peppers. Fresh basil, heirloom tomatoes, winter and summer squash, potatoes, garlic. Organic artisan breads & pastries, scones, cookies, other sweet and savory baked things.
Chicken, pork, lamb, beef, eggs, perhaps rabbit.
Fragrant, all-natural soaps. The usual other stuff that I forget.
See you Wednesday!
The Weaverville Tailgate Market is held on Wednesdays at the Community Center parking lot above Lake Louise, 2:30-6:30 p.m.

The latest “Plant of the Week Specials” from Reems Creek Nursery (70 Monticello Road):
SHRUB Special of the Week
‘INVINCIBELLE SPIRIT’ HYDRANGEA Arboescens‘
Invincibelle Spirit’ HYDRANGEA arborescens is the first PINK Annabelle! This hot new mop-head hydrangea was introduced this year, and developed by Dr. Thomas Ranney right here in WNC. It is a NATVE plant, and Invincibelle Spirit produces pink flowers right up until frost. It is very adaptable, but prefers to be planted in rich, well-drained, moist soil in part shade. Looks great in mass plantings, perennial beds, woodland settings, and as a specimen plant. Cut back in early spring. Moderate to fast growing, blooms mid-summer to fall, and provides habitat for songbirds and butterflies. 4’ T x 4’ H. Zone 4-9.
1 Gallon $10.20 ~ Regular $16.99
While supplies last through September 2 ~ Limit 5 per Customer
PERENNIAL Special of the Week
HOSTA, Assorted ~ 1 Gallon
HOSTAS are one of the most-loved shade perennials in this area. Their elegant leaves come in many shapes and colors, from blue to green to variegated. Different hosta colors and shapes work beautifully together in the woodland garden, and they produce flowers that attract hummingbirds. This tough plant faithfully returns every year, and fits seamlessly into the shady areas of your landscape. Some are sun tolerant as well. Zone 4-8.
$5.99 Per Gallon ~ Regular $9.99
While supplies last through September 2 – Limit 5 per Customer

In November 2008 Buncombe County Parks and Recreation held an information meeting about proposed renovations to the Karpen Soccer Fields on Reems Creek Road. They were applying for a grant in order to move forward with the project, and apparently that grant came through, as Buncombe County today released this announcement about the scheduled renovations:
BUNCOMBE COUNTY ANNOUNCES RENOVATIONS TO THE KARPEN SOCCER FIELDS
Buncombe County, through its Parks, Greenways and Recreation Services Department, has contracted McGill & Associates to renovate the Karpen Soccer Fields on Reems Creek Road in Weaverville. Renovations will require this park to be closed beginning September 1, 2010. The park will reopen in the Spring of 2011.
The popular park has suffered from persistent erosion and poor drainage issues that have made the soccer fields a muddy mess after a rain. The renovations will require that the entire park be raised, graded and then a drainage system will be installed under the soccer fields. The soccer fields will then have a sod layer installed and grass will be planted over the rest of the affected area. In addition to the drainage renovations, Buncombe County will be making much needed improvements to the parking area and will build a walking trail around the soccer fields.
Progress information will be posted on the website at www.buncombecounty.org/parks

From this week’s Weaverville Tailgate Market e-newsletter:
Hello from the Friendly Market Reminder Service. Well, we’ll let you assume it is friendly, anyway…
This week will feature a special appearance by Corners Knob Farm with quite literally a truckload of sweet corn and watermelons. If there’s anything more exciting to be had at a tailgate market during the summer, I can’t think of what it is.
Granny Grunts BBQ will also be there, as well as our wonderful pizza folks and some tempting New Orleans-style desserts.
And of course our regular vendors, just because they aren’t new and exciting we sincerely hope you continue to shop with them every week. They will have: tomatoes, tomatillos, potatoes, summer & winter squash, herbs, eggplant, beans, peppers, onions, carrots, apples, grapes. Boneless, skinless chicken breast, lamb, pork, beef. Bread, pastries. You know the routine here.
And a special message from our Beloved Market President:
Just want to mention that there has been some confusion between the Weaverville Tailgate Market (our market at Lake Louise on Wednesdays) and the Weaverville Market (on Monticello Rd on the weekend). The Weaverville Market was recently in the news and the subject of some problems, that is NOT the tailgate market. We are alive and well, no problems.
So, see you Wednesday!
The Weaverville Tailgate Market is held on Wednesdays at the Community Center parking lot above Lake Louise, 2:30-6:30 p.m.
