Welcome!

     The purpose of this blog is for the Board of Apple Creek Acres to share timely information with residents...it may be news of a meeting, of a volunteer gathering, Community Watch issues, as well as such useful information like pertinent weather information and scenic photography.  We want it to also be an open door for anyone to ask questions or make comments; it's important to have as much of an open communication means as possible.  Afterall, we LOVE it here!  We want to make sure we have as vibrant and informed 'community' as possible.  Book mark this website and access this page from any internet connection.  Most of all, welcome!

     The Board will be announcing this blog site at the meeting Tuesday August 10th, and for those that aren't able to attend, it will be listed in the forthcoming minutes from said meeting.

     It has been one long hot summer, here...after what was a long snowy winter!  It all began December 18 when up to 18" of snow fell in Apple Creek, stranding some for a number of days.  Bob Child took this video of his pups, the young one a recent local rescue who was having a great deal of fun, while the older one was not amused.  It ran on The Weather Channel the following day...


DECEMBER 18, 2009: 18" of snow! 
 
   While portions of western NC are back into drought concerns this summer, Apple Creek Acres has been in a part of Haywood County that has received healthy rain totals.  If you doubt that, just ask any of the squadrons of mosquitoes that have sprung up.

     Stay tuned for more!
