French Broad River Yacht Club™ Party Set for November 1


Calling all pirates, sailors, wenches & admirals! RiverLink's French Broad River Yacht Club invites you to Walk the Plank on Saturday November 1st at 6pm at Salon Blue Ridge Architectural Components in Flat Rock. This event features local savory food from renowned caterer Cuisine Team of Hendersonville, delicious desserts from Purple Onion of Saluda, French Broad Brewery beer, Biltmore Wine and grog made from Henderson County apples.

This event also showcases exquisite art from local artists including Costanza Knight's monotypes that capture beautiful scenes in Henderson County that will soon change due to increasing urbanization, David Vandre's famous waterfall and nature photography, potters Joady Perret and M Rathsack and Cynthia Wilson's nature inspired paintings. Take this opportunity to meet these fantastic artists where a portion of their art sales will go to benefit RiverLink's mission to revitalize the French Broad River as a place to live, work and play.

Yacht Club June 2008 party"We've all become increasingly aware of the importance and limitations of water resources in this area. The RiverLink folks have done a fantastic job and stretch a dollar further than I thought possible. It's a good cause that impacts all of us, and their events are always great fun!" says Linda Sokalski, RiverLink volunteer and chairperson of the planning committee.

Tickets are only $25 per person if purchased before October 31 and $30 at the door. Each guest will receive a complimentary French Broad River Yacht Club pint size glasses and have a chance to win some great raffle prizes including a dinner gift certificate to Square Root in Brevard, river adventure paddle trip with Headwater Outfitters in Rosman and a gift card to Coldwater Creek in Biltmore Village.
