A 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

THE CONSTELLATIONS
with support:
THE WEASELS
BROWN OAK ASSEMBLY
——————————–
THE CONSTELLATIONS are a Nashville-based rock band which was originally formed in Atlanta in 2008. The band quickly experienced wide critical acclaim including film and television placements in Chuck, Royal Pains, Suits, Vampire Diaries, Horrible Bosses, and more. The Constellations’ unique blending of styles and influences creates music that appeals to all different walks of life. Their lyrics tell the story of loss, heartbreak, recovery, and the resilience of the human spirit. With this new journey, The Constellations’ sound has matured into something truly special that is both unique and familiar.
THE WEASELS
The Weasels are a five-piece rock band from the mountains of Boone, NC, known for their “free-range rock and roll.” Formed in a cinderblock garage in Boone, NC in 2021, they blend 70s backbeats, 80s hair metal energy, and 90s/00s riff-driven rock, all wrapped in raw, high-energy, unhinged live shows.
BROWN OAK ASSEMBLY
Brown Oak Assembly (BOA) is an energetic alternative/indie rock band that came about from Boone, North Carolina, at Appalachian State University. BOA is well-known for their explosive live shows, frequently taking over local bars and venues and captivating audiences with their unique mix of original music and lively energy.

A Carolina Snowbelle Christmas
2025-12-06 17:30 - 19:00, 2025-12-06 13:30 - 15:00, 2025-12-05 20:00 - 21:30 | Appalachian Theatre, 559 W. King Street, Boone, 28067, United States
Opening the 90-minute spectacular are guest artists Gennard and Christy Lombardozzi, who beckon audiences to “Relax and Let Yourself Go” in a full-cast production number, Happy Holidays. Later, Chelsea Mudiam shines in Sparkle-Jingle, where the stage lights up with song and dance.
Returning this season is Nutcracker Twist, a contemporary take on the classic music we all love. And what would the show be without a flurry of penguins in Arctic Adventure? Also returning are Merry & Bright, Like This, Sing, and more!
Cascade will make its stage debut both as an anthem and a benediction—a celebration of cultural memory, the resilience of tradition, and the unifying power of dance to reveal grace, connection, and renewal—set by show director Cheryl Cutlip. Also new this year is Drummer Girl — a thunderous tribute to the iconic precision-march routines made famous by the Radio City Rockettes. Dancers command the stage in striking unison, their drumsticks snapping in rhythmic harmony as they celebrate the power, poise, and unstoppable spirit of young women moving together as one.
The Carolina Snowbelles, a program of The Project Dance Foundation, a 501(c)(3) arts and education organization, incorporates tap and jazz styles while teaching the values of teamwork, self-esteem, mentorship, and community.

Toy Sheep Microcinema: Game Night
2025-12-05 20:30 - 22:30 | Appalachian Theatre, 559 W. King Street, Boone, 28067, United States
The last Toy Sheep Microcinema event of 2025 presents Game Night.
Toy Sheep’s first screening, in September 2023, was DUSTY STACKS OF MOM: THE POSTER PROJECT (2013), Jodie Mack’s animated musical about the closing of her mother’s mail-order poster business. Since then, Toy Sheep attendees have begged for more Mack, and here’s a wild one: RAD PLAID, which presents images of fabrics that encourage us to scream at the screen! As Blake Williams describes the rules for watching RAD PLAID: “People in the room are invited to team up, so that half the room shouts ‘Plaid!’ when vertical lines appeared on the screen, while the other half shouts ‘Rad!’ at the sight of horizontal lines, establishing a sense of division and an air of competition.” And once everyone starts playing and yelling, Mack starts introducing variations, so come with your eyes wide open and your voice ready to roar.
Since 1970, Hollis Franpton’s ZORNS LEMMA has been considered a classic of avant-garde cinema, praised for its elegant structure—its fugue-like replacement of the Roman alphabet with a collection of images—and the unique spell it casts over spectators. People like ZORNS LEMMA just the way it is. But one night last February, Toy Sheep programmer Craig Fischer fell asleep during a raging fever, woke up at 3:17am, and quietly whispered, “I dreamed of a game we can play as we watch ZORNS LEMMA,” and he’s worked on the game ever since. It’s like Bingo, but sometimes with pictures, and it goes really, really fast, as guinea pigs will find out at the screening. Prizes will be won, minds will be melted, history will be made, and fun will be had. “The Cat doth play / And after, Slay…”
Join us for what may be our most unique Toy Sheep show yet!
