White Squirrel Adventure Race in the works

This just in... A White Squirrel Adventure Race is being planned as part of the White Squirrel Festival. Another group is involved and I believe it's to benefit the Boy's and Girl's Club of Brevard. The race will involve mountain biking through beautiful DuPont Forest, kayaking the French Broad River, and racing into downtown Brevard. I saw the brochure today (not printed yet) and it looks like a really cool event. They are also planning a two hour family version of the race at the Brevard College Campus. I will let you know more about this as it becomes available.

Activities have also been tentatively scheduled. They include...

• A White Squirrel Photo Contest
• A White Squirrel Window Display Contest
• A White Squirrel Drink/Entree Contest at all participating restaurants
• Storytelling at the brand spanking new Transylvania County Library
• A scavenger hunt for all the white squirrels "hidden" in downtown Brevard
• A squirrel feeder building competition for the best/most unique squirrel feeder
• The Bob Tinsley Museum has been asked to put on another set of plays
• T-Shirt painting for the kids
• A White Squirrel Village full of kid activities so you parents can shop til you drop
• A White Squirrel sale throughout all the participating merchant stores downtown

Plus guided tours, walking tours, photo with the White Squirrel mascot, a coloring contest and a kid's inflatable of ome sort to bounce around in until they're exhausted.

So that's quite a lot over last year. Of course there's the huge music festival part of it, in addition to all this (see previous posts)

And of course if you aren't a "squirrel hugger" you can always join the oppostion at Scary Squirrel but be warned that squirrels are destined to take over some day. "Better squirrely than dead" as they say.

That's it from the White Squirrel headquarters.
