Gorges State Park to Host Third Annual Mountain Monarch Festival on Oct. 4
Oct 4 @ 10:00 am โ€“ 4:00 pm
Gorges State Park

Back by popular demand, the third Annual Mountain Monarch Festival will be at Gorges State Park in Sapphire on Saturday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This free event, hosted by the park and sponsored by the Friends of Gorges State Park and other partners, will celebrate the monarch butterfly during its migration and raise awareness about the speciesโ€™ declining numbers. The park lies along the monarchsโ€™ migratory route. The butterflies can be seen in early October each year flying over the park, heading south to the high-elevation fir forests in central-southern Mexicoโ€™s Volcanic Belt, where they overwinter until early spring.

The festival will offer educational programs and exhibits as well as childrenโ€™s crafts, face painting by Brevard College cheerleaders, a butterfly hike, and a Monarch Migration Passport to guide visitors through the activities. The featured speakers will be Heyward Douglas, an entomologist who is a former naturalist and has served on the Foothills Trail Conservancyโ€™s board of directors since 1989, who will talk about visiting the wintering area for the monarchs in Mexico, and Brian Bockhahn, interpretation and education specialist for North Carolina State Parks, who will discuss “Monarch Life Cycle and Tagging.”

The event, activities and programs are free and open to the public. The event will be held rain or shine and is first-come, first-served. For event details, visit https://www.friendsofgorges.org

Greenville Jewish Film Festival Pop-Up Movie: The Ring

Join The Greenville Jewish Film Festival for its latest Pop Up Movie to be shown at Camelot Cinemas!

The Ring focuses on Arnon Noble, a religious man with a strong bond to his mother, a Holocaust survivor. He usually drives her to school lectures where she tells the students how she saved the lives of her baby boy and herself with the help of a thin gold ring. When the motherโ€™s health deteriorates, he travels to her old hometown, Budapest to search for the mythological ring that saved her life in the past.

He turns to his estranged daughter, who is a TV researcher, for help and invites her to share the journey. Will the search for the ring be successful? Will the ring save the motherโ€™s life again and will the same ring that saved her mother also succeed in saving Arnonโ€™s relationship with his own daughter?

Tickets can be purchased here. Adult tickets are $18, and student tickets are $14. Both include popcorn and a drink. Students can email [email protected] for a discount code.
