A festive celebration at the Rickman Store

The T.M. Rickman Store in Cowee will host a full day of arts events on Dec. 9 with crafters and artisans who will display their work, including exhibits from artist in residence Kathrine Cays and photographer Ralph Preston.

The Nikwasi Dulcimer Players will perform Christmas tunes at 3 p.m., and then at 6 p.m. playwright Gary Carden will present “The Liar’s Bench,” a taste of an Appalachian Christmas with mandolin player Eric Young, Cherokee storyteller Lloyd Ameach, and poet Dave Waldrop.

Fresh-cut Christmas trees and hand-made wreaths will be available for a donation to the store.

Admission is free, but seating for The Liar’s Bench is limited.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
