I love going here! And I always look forward to it…read more I've been going to The Viking Experience for 5 years now. This is one of the few renn faire style events where there is a bunch of stuff to actually DO. There is the children's glen with stories and activities for the kids. Axe throwing, fight pit (foam weapons), archery, interacting with members of one of the many period camps, fish slap, strong man (have you ever lifted a log in a competition?), etc. Usually you get to walk around and see things, or simply be entertained, which they have also. Main stage with performances all day, cast put on plays which are always funny, etc. This is by far my most favorite event with more to do than 1 person can do in a day. And there are a ton of vendors with themed and period goods that you can't find anywhere else. If you are just now hearing about it, go check it out.

One of my favorite festivals!!!…read more I've been every year since inception and NC is so lucky to have such a cool experience. It's been really neat to see Village of Drekheim move into its new space as the festival continues to grow. They offer two weekends now in the spring and Yuletide Experience in winter. There is camping available and they have an academy weekend if you want to fully emerge yourself in the experience. You'll see lots of great outfits, they have demonstrations (fighting, food, iron forging, dancing, etc), they have great vendors, animals rescues, and everywhere you turn there is something new to experience. This year I was particularly drawn to the Vikings of Scotland and the Wildefell Wolves. But I always love getting to see some familiar faces at CLAWS, Inc, and learning about the Norwegian Lundehund. Also on the property, Goshen Haven Farm is currently under development. They plan to use the land for educational purposes and breed preservation. Their website says they are going to have bees, chickens, sheep and goats, to be incorporated into the festival, educational programs and farm products.

The check arrived and we payed with cash and should have received a 3% discount but or waitress never came back with any change or a receipt. So, I guess she gave herself a good tip. This was our second and last trip to this restaurant. After $280 we expected just a little bit more. If you go, go with low expectations.

Whenever we are in town for VIR, a stop at this gallery is mandatory. Unlike many others, this…read moregallery reps a wide array of media and artists. Here, one can find charming hand-painted, up-cycled wooden vessels; well-wrought laser-cut metal wall-sculptures that convey dimensionality even though they are just 2-D (still want that 1964 Mustang that looks like it is going to drive off of the wall); and skillfully painted oils and water colors. The common denominators are two: All of the work is local and the owner, Shirley, personally selects the artists. Shirley is a former art teacher and an artist in her own right. Indeed, some of her work hangs in the gallery. Shirley drips with southern charm and hospitality as she cheerfully discusses a piece or artist. No hushed tones or pretentiousness here. Although the gallery's posted hours are limited, Shirley welcomes guests by appointment. All you have to do is ring her up.
