SUMMARY:The Art of Walking
DESCRIPTION:The Art of Walking\nBoone Greenway and Kennedy Trail\nFirst Fridays\, 3:00-4:30pm\n\nA 3-mile loop with an art theme to complement the First Friday Art Crawl in Boone on the first Friday of each month. No experience with art or writing is needed although a love for walking in nature sure comes in handy. During the walks\, we’ll find a place to sit for a few minutes to draw or write about what we’re experiencing so bring your favorite tools to capture the moments. Journaling is totally optional and there is no need to share with others. This is an incredibly beautiful greenway. The Kennedy Trail has a natural surface complete with roots\, rocks and hills. After the hike\, the group can reconvene at the Turchin Center for the Arts at 5:00pm to enjoy the First Fridays Art Crawl in downtown Boone. The walking event is free but registration is suggested so we know you’re coming. Contact Jae at BlueRidgeFriend@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Toy Sheep Microcinema: Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You!
DESCRIPTION:Toy Sheep Microcinema\, Awesome Space\, and the Appalachian Theatre present\n“Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You!”\n& “SEARCHING FOR BEAUTY IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT OR AT LEAST THE ENVELOPES IN WHICH IT COMES”\nA special celebratory evening with film\, refreshments and prizes!\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP FOR TOY SHEEP MICROCINEMA\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday\, March 27\, 2026 at 8:30 p.m. / Doors open at 8:00 p.m.\nFree Admission – Open to the Public – Space is Limited \nThis program is unrated but recommended for adults only.\nAll Seating is General Admission \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA program celebrating Spring 2026 graduates\, featuring two films: a 3D short (glasses provided!) titled SEARCHING FOR BEAUTY IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT OR AT LEAST THE ENVELOPES IN WHICH IT COMES (Nicole Tavares\, USA\, 2020\, 6 minutes) and the feature DON’T LET THE RIVERBEAST GET YOU! (Charles Roxburgh and Matt Farley\, USA\, 2012\, 99 minutes). \nWe’ll begin with Nicky Tavares’ short\, which combines images of the beautiful patterns inside the envelopes of bills she received from predatory student loan companies with a soundtrack of messages on her answering machine from debt collectors. As Tavares describes the film: “Don your 3D glasses\, open your mind\, allow the denial of questionable financial decisions made by an aspiring young artist to dissolve on your tongue\, and take a trip over 10 years to a delusory destination where the student loan debt crisis and one advanced art degree converge.” SEARCHING FOR BEAUTY… is both a breathtaking abstraction and all too concrete in its critique of so-called “affordable” higher education and the never-ending burden of capitalized interest. \nA sunnier take on education can be found in the monster comedy DON’T LET THE RIVERBEAST GET YOU!\, whose protagonist Neil Stuart (Matt Farley)\, is “the best darn tutor Rivertown U.S.A. has ever seen!” But he’s got problems. Neil’s the only person who’s seen the Riverbeast in the flesh\, and no one believes him when he warns his fellow citizens about the violent cryptid. Humiliated\, Neil leaves Rivertown U.S.A. for three years\, only to return home just as the Riverbeast begins its bloodiest killing spree yet! As Neil hunts the Riverbeast—and attempts to reconnect with his ex-fiancée Emmaline—we’re introduced to a freewheeling cast of characters\, including a finishing school dropout\, a former professional athlete\, a muckraking journalist\, and a big-game hunter and ladies’ man named Ito Hootkins. DON’T LET THE RIVERBEAST GET YOU! is American regional filmmaking (New Hampshire represent!) at its goofiest and most entertaining. \nBecause this is our annual “Congrats to Grads” party\, we’ll also have free refreshments to offer graduates in the audience\, and special surprises for our soon-to-graduate seniors in the audience! This is the last show before our summer hiatus\, so join us for these one-of-a-kind movies!
