Asheville Performances Feb-Mar

Going to the theater to see a stage production is one of my favorite things to do. Luckily Asheville is known for some great performances, especially for a city of its size. Below is a small sampling of February and March events.

I'm sure many people are feeling the economy crunch as 2008 gets going (I know I am). But that doesn't mean we're willing to sacrifice our vacation! Especially for those nearby, Asheville can be a great destination for a really fun and affordable trip - even if just for a weekend. Cooking in a vacation home also saves a lot of money, rather than staying in an expensive hotel and having to eat out every meal.

However, it is worth spending a little extra cash to check out one of the many fantastic restaurants in Asheville... a list of the best is coming soon!
