December is a time to celebrate the Christmas Season, and in Granville County, it’s also a time to gather with family and friends.

The Yadkin Valley Winter Wine & Beer Passport serves up a season of tastings in North Carolina wine country.

I want to walk along the quaint sidewalk of a small country town in Eden and chat with the owner of the little shop that sells local crafts and artisan products.

The season is still perfect to experience why Stokes County ROCKS in Autumn.

Bring your family, friends, and dog (or dogs) to the Rural Hill Sheepdog Trials and Dog Festival November 12th and 13th

The Artisan Marketplace with over 140 merchants is filled with returning favorites that include an extensive array of vendors offering jewelry, clothing of renaissance and medieval fashion, handmade art and décor, pottery and blown and torched glass demonstrations, and activities for children that include people powered amusement rides and countryside faire games such as the castle climbing wall, archery and tomato tossing at a fool.

Plan your weekend trip or day trip to Hickory to explore not only our outdoor adventures and culinary scene but we hope you will take a piece of Hickory home for the Holidays.
