Here’s another new happening in Weaverville that the organizer is hoping will become an annual event. Starting this Saturday, Weaverfest will feature an event each Saturday in October. There’s a Car Show on October 6, the Cops for Kids Bike Run on October 13, and a Craft Fair on October 20, all of which lead up to the big event, a BBQ Cook-Off on October 27. The Cops for Kids Bike Run is a fund raiser for needy families in Weaverville and North Buncombe. Proceeds from all other events will go to the Buncombe County Schools Scholarship Foundation (specific to North Buncombe High School), and the Eblen Foundation.

This year’s event is in memory of LeeRoy Maney, who passed away this past July. Though I know other family members, I unfortunately never had the chance to meet Lee. Everyone I’ve talked to who knew him thought the world of him, and it’s obvious his presence in this community is going to be felt for years to come.

More information, applications, sponsorship and volunteer forms are all available on the Weaverfest Event Page, www.myweaverville.com/weaverfest. You can also call 645-9534 for additional information or questions.
