Besides getting fresh air with our canine hikers, Hiking Hounds adds an enriching activity to a dog's stay at the shelter, exposes dogs to new things and reinforces obedience, burns off some energy in a positive way, increases adoptability by having more exposure to the public, and offers volunteers a new way to interact with the animals. New volunteers meet at 8:30 AM at the shelter on the scheduled day for a quick orientation. Volunteers who have already attended the orientation can arrive at 9:00 AM. Volunteers fill out an application and sign a waiver prior to departure. Volunteers are matched up with appropriate dogs, pre-selected by shelter staff and the Hiking Hound Coordinator. If you would like to participate, contact us directly via email at ahshikinghounds@yahoo.com before the hike! 9:00am 10:00am 11:00am 12:00pm 1:00pm 2:00pm [2:30pm] SART presents "As You Like It" - Mars Hill Description: SART presents William Shakespeare's "As You Like It": Court Life, Love, & other Absurdities in Poetry July 21 - Aug 1 Shakespeare’s most memorable characters fuse in discord-turned-harmony in this playful story of mixed-up identities & disguises, romance & love-notes, wit & satire, slapstick & passion. “All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players” July 21, 7:30pm (limited seating) July 22, 7:30pm July 23, 7:30pm July 24, 7:30pm July 25, 2:30pm matinee July 28, 7:30pm July 29, 2:30pm matinee July 30, 7:30pm July 31, 7:30pm Aug 1, 2:30pm matinee To purchase tickets, call the SART box office at 828.689.1239 or online at sartplays.org.

Wodehouse Thursdays through Sundays, July 22 to 25 and July 29 through August 1 Madcap antics abound on the S.S. American as "anything goes!" A trans-Atlantic ocean liner and its zany passenger list form the backdrop for implausible tales of comic intrigue featuring clownish rich folks, dancing sailors, a cabaret act, celebrity-hunting vacationers, traveling businessmen, young couples in love, and the occasional laughable gangster thrown in for good measure. Hugely successful in its initial Broadway run and numerous revivals, this bubbly musical introduced tunes that have been standards for decades: “You’re the Top,” “It’s De-Lovely,” “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Let’s Misbehave” and “Blow, Gabriel, Blow” will be stuck in your head for days. This is a musical voyage well worth taking--welcome aboard!
