2023-07-01 18:30 - 22:00 | Common’s Lawn, 160 Frank Allen Road, Cashiers, NC, 28717, United States
A HUGE thank you to Landmark Realty Group for bringing TVG’s Fireworks Extravaganza!!

Come one! Come all! Join us at The Village Green Commons for an evening of music, family fun, and of course, fireworks! This is a FREE community event, open to the public, and no registration is required!
The annual “Fireworks Extravaganza on The Green” will take place on Saturday, July 1st, 2023 at 6:30pm, RAIN or SHINE, on The Village Green Commons Lawn! Entertainment will be provided by rhythm and blues band, Continental Divide, and the Cashiers Community Chorus, followed by a fireworks show featuring 1000s of colorful bursts! The fireworks display will begin at dark around 9:30pm, and will last approximately 15-20 minutes.
Admission is free, however, donations will be collected to help with the cost of the event. Many small communities have eliminated fireworks from their celebrations due to the cost associated with large pyrotechnic displays, but The Village Green believes it is important to preserve this patriotic tradition for the Cashiers community. The Village Green is a 501c3 nonprofit park system and does not receive any funds from Jackson County, the state of NC, or the Federal Park System.
Attendees are welcome to bring lawn chairs, and picnics and coolers with their own food and beverages. Due to the size and nature of this event, dogs will not be allowed and personal tents are not allowed. We hope to see you all there, and God Bless America!
Food and beverage will be available from Elevated Kitchen Food Truck, Crossroads Custard, and Innovation Brewing!
**Important Additional Information for Saturday, July 1st**
Please be aware that Frank Allen Road will be closed starting at 6pm and will not reopen until we receive an ‘all-clear’ after the fireworks show. Parking will be limited along Frank Allen Rd. Please do not park on the side of Frank Allen Road, at the Cashiers Parks and Recreation Center, or the Boys and Girls Club for safety reasons. If you choose to park along Frank Allen Road, please be aware that you will not be able to leave until the road is officially re-opened.

Here in the mountains, we are fortunate to live day to day in a landscape that can be at once breathtaking and something easily taken for granted. Most of us have our favorite views, whether this is taking in the vastness from the top of Whiteside or enjoying the Chattooga from the Iron Bridge. In this class we will capture the essence of your favorite spot in a step by step guided painting experience.
Cath Connolly Hudson will lead you through a simple but detailed process as you learn how to mix and apply paint to the canvas. Using a photo reference, you will learn the basic steps to build a painting and become familiar with using and mixing paint and mediums. Cath will guide you in simple techniques to copy the image to the canvas with expressive brush strokes.
During the four sessions we will use a grid system to build the basic composition, learn to mix colors, use different mediums to create paint texture, understand brush techniques, and finally create a finished painting of your favorite mountain landscape.
You don’t need any experience with painting, just a desire to create!
The workshop is sponsored by The Bascom and The Village Green bringing local artist, Cath Connolly Hudson to the Village Green to teach this class. Cath is known for her patient and supportive teaching approach. This free community opportunity will fill up fast. There are ten seats available.
Class Meets: February 8, February 22, March 7, and March 21

That means that the season for each fruit and vegetable is longer. Shopping at the Green Market provides a forum for learning how food is grown, who grew it, and why it tastes so good.
Fill your basket with naturally raised meat and dairy items, fresh eggs, jams, pickles, freshly baked bread and delicious granola. Set your table with fresh cut flowers or plant your entryway with locally grown perennials. Always fresh. Always local.
