Circus Mutt – live at the brewery
Aug 26 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Southern Appalachian Brewery

The Mutt returns to Hendo – outdoor show if the weather is nice!!

Originally formed in 2010, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, NC, Circus Mutt draws from a spectrum of musical influences including rock-n-roll, jazz and bluegrass. The band cut their teeth on the road, touring literally non-stop from 2011-2016. Breweries, festivals, bars and thousands of miles of highway have been the proving ground for this group of blue-collar musicians. Circus Mutt has woven a unique blend of American sounds on their new studio album, “Old Dogs & New Tricks.” Live Mutt performances vary from solo/duo shows, to full-blown, 6 piece band extravaganzas. They are known for their gentlemanly manners and the good natured tail-waggin’ that comes naturally to every friendly mutt you know. Wherever they are, it is sure to be a circus and you are surely welcome.

Shallow Creek Snorkeling
Aug 26 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Rocky Fork State Park

Program Fee-$3.00 Registration Required
During the summer, for a short window, the crisp cold water of Rocky Fork is enjoyable to be in. That is why we are going to take full advantage of the situation and explore the aquatic environment that is so often overlooked. Rocky Fork is home to many aquatic insects as well as a handful of different fish speecies. With our full-face snorkels, this new world will finally be open to us.

We will provide the snorkels, but you are more than welcome to bring your own. The water will be very cold (year round), so synthetic shirts are recommended. Shoes/Sandals are required.
