Fall...crisp, cool evenings, warm soup in a mug by the fireplace, sweaters and trees lit by brilliantly colored red and golden leaves. It is definitely one of our favorite times of the year. What better time to enjoy an afternoon in the North Carolina mountains. Book Signing "Cotton" Ketchie will be a guest of the Friends of the Mountains Branch Library on Thursday, Oct 2, 2008. He will be reading from his two books "Memories of a Country Boy" and "A Country Boy's Education". Located in beautiful Western North Carolina, the library is just off Hwy 64/74 at 150 Bill's Creek Road in Lake Lure, N.C. They invite you to join him in the library's Community Room at 4:00 that afternoon to relive the humorous days of "Cotton's" youth and envoke some special memories of your own childhood. Admission is free. more »
