Andrea Genevieve Townson is originally from Buffalo, NY, and just moved to Pisgah Forest, NC after spending 13 years in Austin, TX. She has over 15 years of experience in marketing and enjoys teaching as an adjunct professor at a handful of leading universities.
Pisgah Project Day is an annual, all-ages, all-hands-on-deck community volunteer day in the forest, followed by an afternoon of raffles and giveaways, live music, and community at Oskar Blues Brewery (Brevard, NC). Each year we tackle 20+ projects including trail maintenance, trash cleanup, graffiti removal, bridge construction, gardening and beautification, and so much more.
This year’s Light Up the Night celebration will be on Friday, December 1st from 4 - 8 p.m. This community event immerses visitors in an evening of wonder, featuring twinkling lights, illuminated snowflakes and beautifully decorated storefronts. Additional activities include the official tree-lighting ceremony, live music, performances, ice skating, hayrides, food trucks, festive downtown shopping and more. This will be a festive evening of free family fun!
