SUMMARY:Child Car Seat Safety Check
DESCRIPTION:The Gatlinburg Police Department (GPD) will host a free Child Car Seat Safety Check Event on Thursday\, August 6\, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Rocky Top Sports World. \n\nThe event is open to the public and provides parents\, grandparents\, and caregivers the opportunity to have their child safety seats inspected by Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians\, who will be employees of the Police Department and Fire Department. Technicians will ensure each car seat is properly installed\, verify that it is appropriate for the child’s age\, height\, and weight\, and provide hands-on education to help caregivers safely transport their children. \n\nAccording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)\, many child safety seats are installed or used incorrectly\, reducing their effectiveness in a crash. This event is designed to help families gain confidence that their children are traveling as safely as possible. \n\nA properly installed child safety seat can make all the difference in the event of a crash\,” said Gatlinburg Police Chief Ronnie Barrett. “We encourage all parents and caregivers to take advantage of this free service. \n\n“This event is about prevention and education. Our certified technicians will work one-on-one with families to ensure every child is riding safely and that caregivers understand how to properly use their car seats.” \n\nNo appointment is necessary. Participants should arrive with their child\, if possible\, along with the vehicle and child safety seat they use regularly. Technicians will inspect the seat\, make any necessary adjustments\, and answer questions about proper installation and usage.

SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Heritage Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Shelton House\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome see our museum\, barn and grounds and celebrate the history\nand heritage of our beautiful region! \n\nSat\, Aug 8\, 2026 9:00 AM  Sun\, Aug 9\, 2026 4:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome to Blue Ridge Heritage Weekend! For guidelines and vendor applications\, please scroll to the bottom of this page. \nThe Blue Ridge Heritage Weekend (BRHW) Arts & Crafts Fair 2026 (August 8th and 9th) takes place just three blocks from downtown Waynesville on the scenic Shelton Campus\, nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The campus features the historic Shelton House – Museum of North Carolina Craft and History\, the Shelton Barn\, an on-site Airbnb\, the Haywood Historic Farmers Market\, and the nearby HART Theater\, creating a vibrant cultural destination for visitors and artists alike. \nNow in its 8th year\, Blue Ridge Heritage Weekend serves as a fundraiser for the Shelton House and celebrates the rich craft traditions of Western North Carolina. The outdoor event features a juried selection of artists and craftspeople\, live craft demonstrations\, local musicians\, and a variety of food trucks. Because the fair is held outdoors\, participating artists must provide their own tents. \nThe Shelton Campus is also part of several regional cultural tourism routes\, including the Blue Ridge Heritage Trail\, Blue Ridge Craft Trail\, Blue Ridge Mural Trail\, and the Historic Quilt Block Trail\, making the event a natural stop for visitors exploring the region’s creative heritage. \nThroughout the weekend\, artists\, crafters\, and volunteers will have access to complimentary refreshments and restroom facilities in the Shelton Barn. On Saturday morning (9:00 am–12:00 pm)\, the Haywood Historic Farmers Market takes place on the back portion of the campus\, offering fresh local produce\, meats\, dairy products\, baked goods\, and other regional specialties. Because the market draws a strong weekly following\, the arts and crafts fair will open at 9:00 am on Saturday to welcome the market crowd. \nThis year\, we are excited to announce that we are adding a Haywood Market for Haywood County Artists\, which will allow local artists offering handcrafted work a space to showcase their work. The Haywood Market will provide a dedicated space for artists living in Haywood County to showcase and sell their work during the festival. The market will be located in the Shelton House barn\, and vendors who apply for a space here will be offered individual booth spaces at a reduced fee. Applicants for the Haywood Market are encouraged to apply early\, as we only have approximately 12 spaces available.
