Description
Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Wednesday, February 11th.
We've got a packed day ahead in our community, so let's dive right in. Tonight at Kimmel Arena, UNC Asheville Women's Basketball takes the court for their annual Play 4 Kay game against Radford. Tip off is at 6:30 p.m., and the team will be honoring breast cancer survivors throughout the game. The Bulldogs come in at 9 and 15 overall, but they're making noise defensively, leading the Big South Conference in field goal percentage defense. Radford brings a stronger record at 16 and 10, so this should be a competitive matchup you won't want to miss.
If basketball isn't your speed, Grammy-winning bluegrass musician Billy Strings has multiple shows happening this week at Harrah's Cherokee Center Asheville. He's performing tonight at 7:30 p.m., with additional shows Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Billy Strings has become one of the most exciting names in contemporary bluegrass, and this is a rare chance to catch him live.
Over at the River Arts District, there are several workshops happening if you're feeling creative. The Flame Shop is offering a 30-minute make-your-own session from 10:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. if you want to try glassblowing or other fire arts.
In local news, county officials remind us that there's an important application deadline approaching. If you're working on Helene-related projects involving drinking water, wastewater, or septic systems, your final application deadline is March 2nd. These funds are designed to help our community recover from the hurricane's impacts, so if your property qualifies, don't miss this opportunity.
Also worth noting, the community continues to come together in various ways. If you're interested in civic engagement, there are voter registration opportunities happening at the North Asheville Tailgate Market, and the Riceville-Swannanoa area has weekly sign-waving events happening Wednesdays starting at 4 p.m.
So whether you're catching a basketball game, enjoying live music, trying something new in our arts community, or getting involved locally, there's plenty to do. We'll have weather updates and more details coming throughout the day on Asheville Local Frequency.
This has been Asheville Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
