Dear Traveler,
Everyone has their seasonal sweet spot. For
me, there’s always been something extra special about early June in
Brevard. It’s almost, but not quite summer yet. The days are long
and warm. The sun is super bright. Depending on where you are in
Brevard and Transylvania County, you might be able to hear the
splashing at Sliding Rock, the laughter of early campers, and the
sound of instruments tuning up for outdoor performances at Brevard
Music Center and beyond. At this time of year, it feels like
everything is happening, which can be a little daunting if you’re
trying to cool down and summer up. So, clear your calendar and
prepare to point your compass due Fun. It’s going to be an amazing
season.
See you out there,
-The Adventurist
