The Weaverville Economic Development Committee has organized the upcoming event: Helene & Wheel Recovery, to celebrate resiliency on Sat. Sept. 27th at 11:00 a.m. at Lake Louise Park. (begins at the Flag Pole in front of the Community Center)
September 27, 2025, will mark exactly one year since catastrophic Hurricane Helene devastated much of the greater Asheville area, including our cherished, historic mill wheel on Reems Creek.
We invite you to celebrate Weaverville’s remarkable resilience and rebirth made possible by all the tireless efforts of our Town Public Works crews and emergency services staff, merchants, and neighbors helping neighbors since then.
Weaverville Strong event from 11:00 am – 1:00 pm at Lake Louise Park.
Mayor Patrick Fitzsimmons, Buncombe County Commissioner Amanda Edwards (scheduled to appear) and our own Dry Ridge Historian Judy Craggs will present brief remarks, advance look at the framework of the new Reems Creek mill waterwheel, currently pending completion 150 years after its original installation by the Robinson Family. And don’t miss out on delicious pizza from Blue Mountain and pastries from Well Bred, while they last!
We hope to see you there!
