86th
Annual Singing on the Mountain
Free, all-day gospel sing and
fellowship held in MacRae Meadows.
The contractor is almost finished with
the punch list and the Top Shop staff
is busy stocking shelves. The team still
needs a few days to tune up the systems
before they feel ready to deliver a quality
guest experience, but the doors will open
on or before June 12 so that Grandfather's
fans can tour the facility they've waited
over two years to enjoy!
Riders
in the 21st annual Bridge-to-Bridge Incredible
Challenge Bike Ride will be asking supporters
to sponsor them for each of the 100 miles
that they ride. All proceeds will benefit
the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation
and be put toward preserving and conserving
the billion-year-old landmark that is
the final destination for the intrepid
cyclists.
Grandfather's
naturalists want to invite you to become
a Citizen Scientist by helping them measure
the amount of particulate matter in the
skies above Grandfather, solar radiation,
cloud cover, temperature, and precipitation.
The data collected will be used by scientists
from NASA and Appalachian State University
to monitor climate change.
