Look, after the past couple months AND the upcoming Holiday Season, you ABSOLUTELY DESERVE a giant Apple Ugly from @mr.bobs_donuts2 in downtown Marion, NC. Just saying, donuts make great self-care, it’s just a little treat (the size of your laptop). 💁🏻♀️🍩💅

Indigo Retreat: Inspiration through Strength
From our friends at Indigo Nature Retreat, enjoy this calm video exploring the beauty and recovery of their wild and beautiful surroundings, as impacted by Hurricane Helene. Located in the heart of Pisgah National Forest with the Blue Ridge Mountains as their canvas, Indigo Nature Retreat provides the perfect ng to get away and unwind. Dense foliage, rolling currents, and diverse trails make our home away from home a unique place to come alive. As we’ve learned through Helene, storms only encourage trees to grow deeper roots. Not just the trees surrounding us, but the branches, roots and arms of our community. Hand in hand, we are stronger for it.
We still have much work to do, Day by day, we are making progress. Learn more about Indigo Nature Retreat on our website: https://www.destinationmcdowell.com/attractions/indigo-nature-retreat-event-venue-lodging/

We are so proud of the Town of Old Fort, NC! Despite the impact of Hurricane Helene on our town, sooo many community partners and local businesses banded together to bring a safe and awesome Halloween to the kids (and grown ups) of the community! There’s too many people to thank, but thank you for coming together to make tonight great! #CapCut #oldfortnc #oldfortstrong #destinationmcdowell
We get it… Roadtrips can be frustrating and stressful, construction makes it worse. Stop by our Visitor Center at 91 S Catawba in Old Fort to get alternate driving directions, maps, trail guides, or just to stretch your legs. Karate Optional. 😎👌
