Haywood County is Home to Trudy Cinque, a Very Talented Stained Glass Artist.
August 28th, 2008 Categories: Community, Videos and Slideshows
Trudy Cinque’s stained glass art work is breathtaking. The 39 photos on this slide show were taken yesterday of some (by no means all) of the stained glass work she has done over the years which is ‘living’ in and around her beautiful, unique home. Trudy never sold her work. She gave some of it away as gifts, made some of it specifically for her home, and some of her work is in museums. You will see a couple of photos of Trudy during the slide show if you look carefully.
She is a true Haywood County treasure. Her husband Jim, is talented too. He sent me home with a signed copy of his book, The Christine Emerald.

Pants on Fire? Maggie Valley Volunteer Fire Department to the Rescue!
August 24th, 2008 Categories: Community, Videos and Slideshows
We are waiting for rain to fill our creeks and drench our gardens here in Haywood County, NC. Locals say that the dry summer leads to exceptionally spectacular colors when the leaves start turning in the not-too-distant future. Dryer than normal conditions here in Maggie Valley remind us of the importance of fire safety, and of our Maggie Valley Volunteer Fire Department.
These trucks were sitting outside yesterday, all cleaned and spit-shined. Who doesn’t love looking at bright red firetrucks (and firemen)?
