This weekend, there’s the Biltmore Village Arts & Crafts Festival, the Mount Mitchell Craft Festival in Burnsville and the 80th anniversary of the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival at the Diana Wortham Theater in Ashvegas.

And you might as well be thinking about the Mountain State Fair coming in early September. Discounted tickets for admission and rides go on sale Wednesday. Go to the WNC Farmers Market in Fletcher or go online at www.mountainfair.org. Some of the acts at the fair include: Eagles tribute band Hotel California, Jason Michael Carroll, Mark Wills, David Phelps and Cherryholmes.
