Fall Festival Season & the Dollars & Cents Behind the Leaves on the Trees

The landscape around the High Country is getting more beautiful by the day! The annual changing of the leaves provides the perfect backdrop for one of the most important times on our region's economic calendar.

As we move through fall festival season, this week's Mind Your Business is focused on the Super Bowl Weekend of fall events, October 18-19 -- featuring Valle Country Fair, the Woolly Worm Festival in Banner Elk, and App State Homecoming.

We will talk with festival organizers about the details of these signature events, while also discussing the economic ripple events fall activity has on the High Country. We'll also give some tips and tricks regarding parking and traffic for the weekend, including gameday specific information for the area around Kidd Brewer Stadium and Downtown Boone.

Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. This podcast is made possible thanks to the sponsorship support of Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.

Catch the show each Thursday afternoon at 5PM on WATA (1450AM & 96.5FM) in Boone.

Join us for Passing the Torch: A Dialogue on Leadership Transition, November 3rd, from 5:30-8PM at the Appalachian Theatre of the High Country.
