Asheville Holiday Parade & JingleFest 2013 - Kids can get a FREE Photo with Santa!

Asheville Holiday Parade & JingleFest

Presented by Bojangles

Where: Downtown Asheville

When: Saturday, Nov 23, 2013 11:00 am - Nov 23, 2013 4:00 pm

The week before Thanksgiving is when the holiday season in Asheville officially kicks off! Are you ready for some Holiday fun??

On Saturday, November 23 at 11am, the 67th Annual Asheville Holiday Parade, presented by Bojangles, takes over downtown to entertain kids, parents and everyone in between for just about one and a half hours. The theme for this year is “A Star is Born.” The Parade Grand Marshals are some of Asheville’s most talented stars! To include a few: Ann Dunn and several Nutcracker dancers from The Asheville Ballet, star baritone Dominic Aquilino and soprano Kelli Mullinix of Asheville Lyric Opera, Josh and Sue from 98.1 The River, Tammy and Dex from Mix 96.5 and the McLellan family from “The Best Christmas Pageant” at Asheville Community Theater. This year the Grand Marshal float is sponsored by Deerfield Episcopal Retirement Community.

A big surprise will be the giant balloons that will soar high above the parade to add to the day’s already outstanding excitement (Just thinking about the balloons makes me think of watching the Macy's parade on TV!), along with eight marching bands, a variety of wonderful dance and cheer groups, a skip rope team along with llamas, horses, unicycles and much more to help entertain the bustling crowd. Of course, noone can forget about the Main Event... Santa Claus!!

Sponsored by The Grove Arcade

Two of the helium balloons that are expected to be in the parade, the “Happy Stars,” will be handled by volunteers from Toys for Tots with active Marines in dress uniform marching alongside! They'll remind everyone to bring donations of unwrapped toys to the Toys for Tots donation area at JingleFest. Parade organizers are hoping that many people will be bringing donations and that this effort can become an annual tradition.

The Parade and JingleFest are a toy drive for Toys for Tots! They'll be collecting new, unwrapped toys for deserving kids at JingleFest.

After the parade is finished, head over to Pack Square Park for JingleFest to continue the fun with lots of activities, lasting until 4 pm. JingleFest will begin with a mini concert by Trinity Baptist Jubilee Choir at 1 pm. Then it's time to enjoy non-stop entertainment on the stage hosted by Asheville Actor/comedian Tom Chalmers. You'll also get to see some of the best acts from the parade! Kids can play on giant inflatables while they are waiting for Santa to make his way back from the Parade. (This is a favorite for all little ones!) Once Santa arrives, around 2pm, kids can get their picture taken with him for FREE. Around 3pm, there will be a holiday concert by Asheville Choral Society that you don't want to miss! There will be games and giveaways, and The Best part is that IT'S ALL FREE!

If you happen to miss Santa on the day of the parade,

he'll be at the Grove Arcade every Saturday in December (until Christmas).

On December 5, Thursday, the winners of the Downtown Holiday Windows Contest will be selected and a walking tour of decorated windows will be available for download. Windows will be decorated until the end of the year.

Downtown Asheville is a great destination to experience the beautiful decorations and festivities of the holiday season throughout the end of the year! Asheville is so beautiful and the lights and decorations are breathtaking!

2013 Asheville Holiday Parade Route

The 2013 Asheville Holiday Parade will follow the same route as last year - north on Biltmore Avenue from Charlotte Street, making a left on Patton Avenue heading west.

Doing some Tuesday Thinking

It's been raining alot for the past day or so and I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't rain on July 4th! We have plans to go out of town to visit my fiances family and our kids are going to spend a couple nights with the grandparents. I would hate for it to be raining and ruin our firework plans. But if it rains  in Asheville, that don't mean that it will rain in Lenior/Hudson NC as well. Even though Hudson is only an hour or 2 away, weather can do some crazy things so we may be safe.... I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Last Year for the fourth, my family went to Downtown Asheville and watched the firework show "One The Green". They had live music from local bands along with kids activites, even a blow up slide!! We all had alot of fun!!!
(Read all about our 4th of July in Downtown Asheville -- I wrote up a post about our fun!)

The girls were wanting to go downtown again this year but once they found out that we had plans to go see their Mawmaw, Granny and Grand-Paw... They were as happy as can be!! I've been hearing about this trip for weeks now and it's being brought up more often now that the days are slipping away! We're heading down to Hudson, NC around 10am on Thursday morning, since Alan has to work all day on Wednesday. It's going to be a busy day since we will be driving down, Hanging out with family, Watching Fireworks, and then driving home all in the same day! The kids will only be in the car for the trip down but I'm a bit worried that they will get homesick and want to come early. This will be their first long distance trip away from home without myself or their daddy staying with them. It's not just my girls that'll be staying with Alan's mom and step-dad, Mj will be staying too. He's the oldest but he don't come over to our house as much as we would like so sometimes we have a few bad days, it's mostly nights but mornings can be touch at times as well. At the moment, Jade, Loran and Mj are all excited about spending a couple nights with family so I hope they have a wonderful time and not cry for home bad enough that the trip had to be made early.

(The video below is the first video I've uploaded directly to my blog, Let me know if something is wrong or it won't work for you)

The mountains are beautiful and I really enjoy all the country land that's not filled up with businesses. Downtown Asheville is full of neat shops and diners that you can always find something to do! Not to mention all the art that is scattered throughout Downtown! Ohhh and you can't forget about the Biltmore House! (I've lived here all my life and never visited the Biltmore House but I plan on going atleast once while I'm finished on this earth!) Asheville, NC is a wonderful place to visit and an even better place to live!

#ChallengeToWrite -- A little about my hometown....

Okay, so my regular readers will know that I joined a ChallengeToWrite at the beginning of May. I hate to say that I haven't been up to the challenge everyday :(

I have forgotten about it or had planned to write my post... Even get it started... And then get distracted and the posts never get finished.

I have decided to catch up on the topics that I missed. Even though they will be out of order, I'll post the date that I was supposed to write them and the topic name with each post.

I'm warning you... These posts will be EXTREMELY out of order!!!

I would like to start my out of order catch-up with the topic from May 9, 2013:

A little about your hometown....

My hometown is Candler, North Carolina. A small town outside Asheville, NC. Most people would say that I live in Asheville, and I do say it often but the truth is that I live in Candler and I have for almost my whole life. I was born in Asheville because that's where the hospitals are but my home has always been in the country. Candler isn't very big and you can drive through it in just a few minutes. We have farmers markets, lots of mom and pop stores, horses and cows! if you take any back-road in Candler, your sure to pass a pasture with either some horses or a few cows... sometimes both. But it doesn't smell bad like you would think it would with all the animals. (I have cow fields near my house and you would never know it.... unless you payed attention when you was on your way here of course!) My fiance always says that Candler isn't the mountains but I believe it is. The views are beautiful and sometimes you can see for miles! It can get pretty bad in the Winter though and I'm not a fan of that one bit! Most of the places that I've lived have been off back-roads and it's always been hard to get to and from home when a big snow storm hits. I try to be prepared when the weather is calling to be bad.

We're near the Blue Ridge Parkway (in Asheville) and it don't take too long to get to the big stores and entertainment that ALWAYS goes on in Asheville. I am sad to say that I have lived in this area my whole life (minus 3 months when I lived in Hickory, NC) but I've never been to the Biltmore House or an Olive Garden! I know... Crazy right?! Hard to believe, but true. I've also never ate at the local Red Lobster... even though my fiance works there! That's okay though because I'm not a big seafood fan.... If it came out of the water then I'm not going to eat it. Well, that's a lie. I do eat tuna every now and then and I have been known to eat a bit of crab dip. But the Biltmore House, Olive Garden and Red Lobster are in Asheville, not Candler. To be truthful.... there's nothing big and popular in Candler. We're just a bunch of country people who know how to party on the back-roads! (When I was a teen and young adult, I was always at some sort of party off one of the many Candler back-roads!) That's one thing we have LOTS of... BACK-ROADS!! I love them, you can go on a drive and take in all the scenery.
(We do have Enka High School, their sports teams have been known to win a good bit of games!)
I love my hometown!
I love Candler, NC!!

Family Night at Enka Middle School - Our Experience

I have to say that yesterday at Enka Middle School, was pretty fun!

Our daughters loved being able to play and paint and the food was pretty good as well.

I was very surprised at what all was going on at the middle school last night.

First off, my girls ran straight toward the face-painting. They became shy for about 2 minutes when they couldn't decided who was going first but it quickly left when Loran sat down and started getting her face painted like a cat. (she wanted a cheetah but we settled on a cat face). Jade got a butterfly painted on her cheek.

Next we moved on to the arts and crafts station. My daughters wanted to paint a "brick". The brick was actually a small block of wood that the girls was able to paint with any design. They sat so quietly and painted. Jade painted her whole block while Loran only painted one side of hers and took her time.

Since we was being offered free food.... How could we turn it down?

Free supper for my family is always a plus. My fiance LOVES to eat so he was drawn to the food right off bat but I was able to hold him off for a few minutes while the girls got painted and then done some painting themselves.

The food was pretty good. They had hamburgers and hot-dogs with water and Lemonade to drink. Alan even tried a Vegan Burger and enjoyed it more than we thought he was going to!

After the food, they raffled off a few things including School Clothing and a YMCA Family membership! We didn't win anything but I loved watching the little boy walk up to claim his YMCA Family membership! He was excited and had to of still been in Elementary school.

They also had Hula Hoops, Chalk and a Dress up Booth (We didn't see this booth until the end, I bet my girls would of LOVED to dress up silly). Loran and Jade had a blast playing with the hula hoops. Loran has been practicing with different amounts of hula hoops for a while now and she's almost mastered 3. She tried 4 last night and had them all going for a few minutes before they started falling! She's getting good!! Jade is still learning but she can spin a hula hoop on her left arm better than any other 5 year old that I've seen! (Jade is left-handed)

Enka Middle School is trying to bring family fun back into our town. They are wanting the Middle School to be a community place where the town can meet and mingle. A Community Garden has been started and a few upgrades has been made to the school. They have even been offering Cooking Classes and such to families through out the after school and weekend hours.
Also at the Enka Middle School Community Fair was lots of business with tables set up with information about what they can do for our family this summer. YMCA and Asheville Hockey are among the few that were there.

Getting ready for the raffle!

I was going to try and talk to the lady who is in-charge of all the work and entertainment at Enka Middle School last night but she was a very popular woman and I didn't get the chance to talk with her. I'm hoping that I will get the chance at the next Family Night gathering. (I try and let you all know about the next even in advance.) 

Painting their "Bricks"

Chalk!!! Look at all the Enka pride!

Loran hula-hooping with 3 hoops!!

All in all, we had a blast! It was nice to be able to spend some family time together and enjoy a nice night in my hometown. I went to Enka Middle School when I was a child and my little brothers go there now. I'm very happy knowing that the school and community are working to make Enka Middle School a better place and bringing people together. I'm hoping to be available for the next Family Night as well!!

The above information and opinions are all my own. I was not asked to write this post nor was I compensated in any way. This blog and myself is in no way associated with Enka Middle School.

Ryan's Steakhouse - The Best Family Deal in Asheville

The Best Family Steak House for the Best Deal in Asheville

My family has been going to Ryan's Steak House for years! It's the place we go for Holiday meals when we can't make it to see family... It's the place we go to spend family-time with our young kids... It's the place we go to Feel at Home while still eating out.

I've been going to Ryan's Steak House for years, ever since I was a young child. I remember going with my mom and step-dad all the time. My Mamaw and Daddy-Paw took me a couple times but it was always a different Ryan's than the one I went to with my mama. I have lived in Candler/Asheville, North Carolina, all but 3 months of my life and I only know of 2 Ryan's ever being in Buncombe County. I may be wrong and if I am please correct me. The 2 I know about is the one on Brevard Road and the Ryan's that use to be on Patton Avenue but shut down a few years ago. (The patton location is where I use to go with my grandparents) I even remember when you could smoke in the back section of the Brevard location before the No-Smoking Ban took place.

Now that I'm an adult with my own family, I still enjoy eating at Ryan's Steak House every chance I get. It's one of the few places that my fiance and I actually agree on. I do believe that Ryan's may be one of the top 3 places where our daughters enjoy to eat as-well! <- That's something special since my youngest daughter is a very picky eater.

Loran and Jade get excited every time we pull into the parking lot of Ryan's Steak House because they know they will be able to eat anything they want! The All-You-Can-Eat buffet is perfect for families! Everyone can find something that they love and maybe even try something new!
From Pizza and Chicken Strips for the kids to Freshly Cooked Steak, cut right in-front of you, for the grown-ups. If Salad's more your style then your in luck! Ryan's has a whole serving bar FULL of toppings and salad options. You can even find everything you need for the perfect fruit salad.
If your looking for sea food, you can find fish options throughout the serving bars or head on over to the New Sushi Bar that recently got added to the Brevard Road location. You can even enjoy yourself a taco with a side of french fries and mashed potato's!

IT'S A LITTLE KIDS DREAM!

The best part is Thursday Night Family Night! From 5 - 8  the kids buffet is only $0.99! There is also something special going on for the kids every Thursday. A clown will paint your face, make balloon animals and more - Depending on what activity is in plan for the night. My daughters love sitting near the clown so they can talk to her when she's not surrounded my kids. The clown is always really nice, she even made a balloon hat for my fiance and surprised him by putting it on his head from behind while he was eating! My daughters LOVED IT!!!

We always have a great time when we eat at Ryan's Steak House - Filling up on all the delicious food and you can't forget about all the YUMMY deserts like banana pudding, ice-cream and COTTON CANDY!!

If I had to rate Ryan's Steak House on Brevard Road in Asheville, NC
I would give it a 9 out of 10!
The service is always GREAT and everyone is very polite!

The opinions above are from no other than myself at My Kind Of Introduction and may differ than your own . I received no compensation for this post. I give my honest opinion and was influenced by noone.
