The McFarland family has served the families and commu-nity of the Carolina Foothills for a century. Continuously owned and operated by the McFarland family since its founding in 1911, the business is the oldest still operating in Polk County.

Over the years, McFarland’s has handled funeral services for thousands of people, from ordinary area citizens to well-known celebrities. According The horse-drawn hearse McFarland’s used in 1911, shown here in a parade held during Polk County’s

to Darlene McFarland, some of the more notable clients have included Moe Howard, one of the original Three Stooges; Pat Hingle, best known for his re-curring role as the commissioner in “Batman” movies; Harold Lilly, founder of Frito-Lay; and Robert Wagner, known for his roles in “Hart to Hart” and “It Takes a Thief.”

The business got its start when, as a young man, Frank K. McFarland Sr. took a salesman’s position with the W. D. Balleng-er General Merchandise Store in Tryon. He soon realized his niche had become the furniture department, which included the sale of caskets. Along with the familiarity of casket sales he be-came accustomed to consoling families when deaths occurred.

He expanded on this knowl-edge, working briefly with a funeral home in Columbia, S.C., and attending Brown’s School

of Embalming in Raleigh, N.C. Following his graduation and completion of the state exami-nation, Frank McFarland Sr. be-came Polk County’s first licensed embalmer on May 2, 1911.

The F. K. McFarland Funeral Home, Polk County’s first fu-neral home, opened in 1911 on North Trade Street in Tryon. It was located on what is cur-rently the Tryon Federal Bank property.

In l9l3, Frank Sr. married Flora Fisher of Saluda, N.C. Flora became the receptionist, secretary and face of the funeral home, handling much of the business while Frank embalmed and directed funerals.

It wasn’t hard to find Flora or Frank in the early years of the business, when telephones first became common in the area. If the McFarlands were going to be away from their home and busi-ness for a while – for example, visiting a friend – they called the local telephone operator and told them where they would be.

If someone called the operator needing the McFarlands’ help, the operator knew where to direct the call.

Frank Sr. and Flora had four children, three daughters and a son. Their son, Frank K. McFar-

land Jr., worked at the funeral home with his father begin-ning in his early teens. Frank Jr. completed his education at Cincinnati College of Mortuary

Science, passing the N.C. State Board of Embalming examina-tion in September of 1943. He received his license on his 21st birthday in April of 1944.

In October of l943, Frank Jr. entered the U. S. Navy, serving aboard the U.S.S. Dolphin as a pharmacist mate during WWII. Upon his return from service, he joined his father full time in the funeral home.

Working in the funeral home was a demanding job in the 1950s and early 1960s. The McFarlands not only had to be ready to help families whenever funeral services were needed, but they also had to provide emergency medical services. At that time, funeral homes typically offered an ambulance service in addition to their funeral services. When some-one had an accident or needed medical care, the McFarlands would bring the ambulance and transport the injured to a doctor or hospital.

As car traffic became heavier and accidents more frequent, the need for such services became overwhelming. Even-tually, in the mid-1960s, the county took over ambulance and other emergency services.

In l955 Frank Jr. and a broth-er-in-law, Woodrow Hague, opened Polk Memorial Gar-

dens, which remains the only perpetual care cemetery in Polk County.

In l962, the current facility was completed on Hwy. 108 just outside the city limits of Tryon. Cremation facilities were added to the property in l979, allow-ing McFarland’s to be one of the first providers of cremation in Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.

F. K. McFarland III began his career in the family business following his graduation from Wofford College and Gupton Jones College of Mortuary Science in Atlanta, Ga. His wife, Darlene Grigg McFar-land, joined the firm in l984, receiving her funeral director’s license in l988 just after the birth of their only son, Frank K. “Keen” McFarland IV.

Keen graduated from Wake Forest University in May of 2010, and will complete his apprenticeship at the funeral chapel in July. He will enter Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science in September 2011 to continue the family’s commit-ment of service to Polk County into the future.

To celebrate its centennial, McFarland’s will hold an open house later in the year.

plan, which includes sidewalks and curb and gutter improve-ments along Hwy. 108 from Walker Street to Beechwood Drive along the northern side of the street. The suggestion includes a pedestrian-friendly design along the roundabouts and over the I-26 bridge.

The town’s list of sugges-tions also includes improve-ments at the interchanges of I-26 and U.S. 74 and a better drainage solution at Beech-wood Drive and Hwy. 108, where large puddles form dur-ing rainstorms.

A new idea from Colum-bus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe to be included with the town’s suggestions is im-provements along Mills Street/Hwy. 108 through downtown. Improvements would include a 5-to-8-foot brick-paved area that would be suitable for flag poles and plantings. Kanipe said he added the idea based on what he saw done in his home-town in Kentucky that worked nicely. Kanipe mentioned that Columbus’ main road through downtown is wide, so the brick-paved area could add to the aesthetic appeal and wouldn’t take away from parking.

Council also decided to add to the list sidewalks to the Polk

County Library and Isothermal Community College campus on Hwy. 108, as well as curb and guttering along Hwy. 108.

Kanipe said he will give the town’s suggestions to King, who will include Columbus’ list with those from other areas in the region to be sent to the DOT.

The state’s TIP list includes projects for the next 20 to 30 years. Polk County has several DOT projects on the current TIP list. Some have been funded and some have not yet been funded. Revisions and im-provements to N.C. 108 at the interchange with I-26 and U.S. 74 (exit 36) are currently on the TIP list as “unfunded.”

Other Polk County TIP list projects include replacing two brides (bridges 2 and 4) over the Pacolet River. The state is currently seeking rights of way for those projects. Sev-eral guardrail improvement and replacement projects, plus some paving improvements are among other projects that still remain on the TIP list.

The state’s TIP list can be found at: http://www.ncdot.org/planning/development/tip/tip/Trans/division14.html.

Polk County is part of the DOT Division 14, which in-cludes the counties of Chero-kee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Polk, Swain and Transylvania.

Community helps family of 6-month-old who died in Februaryby Samantha Hurst

A simple hot dog supper in early April pulled together a com-munity grieving over the loss of a little girl and helped raise money for her family.

Madeline Reece Price, the granddaughter of Rev. Allen and Barbara McKinney of Green Creek Baptist Church, passed away Feb. 27, 2011.

She was just 6 months old. M o n t h s

of emergency trips back and fo r th t o t he hospital bared a toll on Mad-eline’s family, so her grand-father’s church f a m i l y, a n d the surround-ing community, stepped in rais-ing $3,000 sell-ing hot dogs.

“We had an outpouring of people come out there and love on us,” said Madeline’s mother, Renee Price. “I know a lot of them didn’t get to meet her but just for them to pray for someone they really don’t know. Anybody can say, ‘We are thinking about you, we’re praying for you,’ but to honestly feel it and know that they really are praying is amaz-ing.”

People came and went as members of the congregation

sang songs and fellowshipped, Price said.

With the $3,000 raised, the family has purchased Maddie’s gravestone; something they didn’t know when they’d be able to afford.

“These people are so great and the community, not all together just the church, but the people in the area are so generous and they show that in so many ways,”

said Rev. Allen McKinney. “It is just a sign of a wonder-fu l commu -nity who just p o u r e d o u t their heart to us.”

M a d d i e , as she was af-f ec t i ona t e ly c a l l e d , w a s born wi th a chromosome deficiency.

Right from the beginning of Renee’s preg-nancy, doctors wanted to run a slue of tests because she was over the age of 35. Renee however opted out of the tests and later, through ultrasounds, discovered her baby girl would have a rough life.

“I said she is what she is – God made her,” Renee said. “I just think because I didn’t get the test, because I allowed it to be God’s will, he allowed me to keep her as long as I did.”

Renee and husband, Earl, made a trip to Georgia weeks before Maddie was due to tour the hospital where she would be born.

“It’s just amazing because God had a plan. We were sup-posed to deliver in Georgia be-cause they were supposed to do the heart surgery there. We had just gone down there for a day,” Renee said.

Doctors chose to do an ultra-sound while the couple was there and they discovered the baby was

in distress. Earl had already left to go back home, with plans to come back the next day, when doctors gave Renee even scarier news.

“Come to find out they said she wouldn’t have lived one more day in my belly,” Renee said.

Ten minutes later doctors de-cided to go ahead and perform a C-section, she said.

“I remember praying the whole way back, back there,” Renee said. “The first thing that came into my mind was, ‘I will never leave you or forsake you’ … my heart was beating so fast

but as soon as those operating doors opened I felt at peace.”

Doctors told the Prices their little girl would never drink from a bottle or be able to hear, among other things. Wanting their daughter to spend her time on earth at home, and not in the hos-pital, the Price’s took her home.

“She had such a temper – she was a little fighter, let me tell you,” Renee said. “She would jerk that [feeding tube] out and so, I said, ‘Ok, I’ll just give you a bottle.’ And she did, she drank from it.”

Maddie was just 3 pounds when she was born and only 6 pounds the day she died – the size

of a newborn. Her grandfather however said she made more out of life than anyone he’s ever known, despite her tiny stature.

“That little lady packed it as full as any person ever has,” Rev. McKinney said.

He said his granddaughter missed few church services and brought much delight to those around her.

“It was six months of just a wonderful, wonderful gift. God knew the right family to give her to,” Rev. McKinney said. “We just tried to lavish our love on her.”

Rev. McKinney said 250 people showed up for Maddie’s

funeral. The medical costs the Price’s

have borne, the emotional dis-tress they faced, didn’t surmount the blessings Maddie’s young life brought them, Renee said.

“She had so many people praying for her – so many people told me that because of her they got closer to the Lord. I just think that it’s amazing she was able to touch so many lives,” she said.

Additional donations received will be put toward defraying medical costs for Madeline’s family. Donations can be made by contacting the church at 828-863-2600.

Robert Hemsath, physician assistant, has joined Dr. Brian Rosenberg at Rosenberg Bone and Joint. Hemsath has 34 years of emergency medicine, ortho-paedic and occupational health experience. As Dr. Rosenberg’s physician assistant, Hemsath provides back-up support in the office and assists in surgery to keep orthopaedic care for patients seamless. Hemsath replaces Chris Rejowski, P.A., who resigned to move closer to family.

A physician assistant is a mid-level care provider who is trained along the medical school model. As part of the medical treatment team, P.A.s align with a physician and possess skills and education which allow them to work with considerable autonomy in patient care and treatment if needed.

Hemsath’s career began in the U.S. Navy. He served as a hospital corpsman from 1969 – 1973. He attended the Navy Hospital Corps School at Balboa Hospital in San Diego, Calif., before transferring to the Naval Hospital in Pen-sacola, Fla., where he worked in the surgical orthopaedic ward caring for Vietnam war casualties.

His final Navy service was completed at the Naval Aviation Hospital Patuxent River, where he was assigned to a helicopter search and rescue crew. He par-ticipated in more than two dozen crash emergency incidents and received “Winged S” for the suc-cessful rescue of a downed pilot.

Hemsath completed the pri-mary care physician program at Cincinnati Technical College in Ohio. He graduated summa cum

laude with an associate degree in applied science in 1977.

Previous employment includes the emergency departments of Rutherford, Mary Black and Pardee hospitals. He worked for eight years in the emergency department of Mission Hospital. He has also worked at Park Ridge Orthopaedics and Asheville Hand Center. Most recently, Hemsath was part owner and a provider at Rutherford Emergency Medicine.

Hemsath lives in Ruther-fordton with his wife, Brenda, a nursing supervisor at St. Luke’s Hospital.

“I am so impressed with Dr. Rosenberg’s skill and rapport with his patients, and I look for-ward to assisting him and serving the people of the community,” said Hemsath.

Since 2004, Dr. Rosenberg has steadily increased the number of procedures he performs at St. Luke’s Hospital with orthopae-dics now accounting for 50 per-cent of the surgeries performed in an area of active retirees and the era of Baby Boomers. His progressive techniques and in-dividualized patient care have helped to attract patients from across the region and neighbor-ing states.

In addition to treating general fractures, Dr. Rosenberg performs joint replacement or reconstruc-tion of the knee and hip, as well as sports medicine procedures and arthroscopy to treat knee, hip and shoulder injuries. His latest treat-ment includes indwelling pumps that reduce the need for and the ill-affects of pain medications.

Dr. Rosenberg is a leading sur-geon in the Southeast to perform the latest techniques for hip re-placements known as Direct An-terior Hip Replacement Surgery, a relatively new procedure in the United States. Having performed more than 250 advanced hip pro-cedures in a few short years, Dr. Rosenberg has been teaching this technique to other orthopaedists interested in advancing their pa-tient outcomes.

With a goal to improve and reduce recovery time and post-op pain for his active-minded pa-tients, Dr. Rosenberg has worked closely with St. Luke’s Hospital to create an excellent patient care team including a Physician Assis-tant, Nurse Navigator, Periopera-tive, Nursing and Rehab Services to ensure his patients experience consistent outcomes, reduced hospital stays and quick recovery.

Loretta Pack, RN, MSN,

serves as Patient Nurse Naviga-tor for Rosenberg Bone and Joint. In this role, Pack serves as a re-source for the staff of St. Luke’s Hospital and as a liaison for the patient and family. The Patient Navigator streamlines commu-nication and patient care to Dr. Rosenberg and nursing staff. As nurse navigator, Pack obtains physician orders and ensures pro-tocols and care paths are followed appropriately for consistently successful orthopaedic outcomes.

Pack also uses her training in education to lead a Pre-Surgery class to help patients prepare for and understand everything they need to know about hip or knee surgery. She knows firsthand--her husband Alvin was one of Dr. Rosenberg’s first patients for direct anterior hip surgery using the advanced operating table.

For more information, call 828-894-8419.

subscribers know!

Thompson presents ‘Crow Talk’ Tuesday at Upstairs ArtspaceNotable bird expert and

birding guide Simon Thompson will lecture on crows this Tues-day, May 3, at 7 p.m. at the Up-stairs Artspace. The program is in conjunction with the exhibit “Something To Crow About,” which features 10 regional artists illustrating the crow in paintings, drawings, prints, woodcuts, woodcarvings, clay sculpture and mixed media.

Thompson will speak in-formally about the crow – its

intelligence, behavior, habitat and mystique. Just how smart are crows? Why do many people dislike them and shoo them out of their yard? Why are artists at-tracted to crows as subject mat-ter? Thompson will shed light on such questions and much more.

Originally from England, Thompson is co-partner in the Wild Birds Unlimited store in Asheville. A birder his entire life, Thompson leads birding tours all over the world. His syndicated

newspaper column about birds appears regularly in the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Tryon residents may remember when Thompson worked at FENCE, conduct-ing birding walks and teaching people about the rich bird life in the Blue Ridge foothills.

The lecture is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. For more infor-mation, call 828-859-2828 on Tuesday.

Holland Brady awarded lifetime membership at Lanier LibraryFrances McCain retires from board

Tryon architect Holland Brady, who spoke at the La-nier Library on Tuesday, April 19, was presented with a life-time membership at the library following his presentation.

He described the contribu-tions to the architecture of the town by 42 architects, giving brief histories of their careers and, on a more personal level, talked about some of his own recollections of the library, including the woman who was librarian in his youth and for whom he worked as an assis-tant, Mary Frances Carpenter.

Brady, who is still practic-ing architecture in Tryon after more than 50 years, designed both extensions to the Lanier Library and he and his part-ners have designed more than

700 buildings in and around Tryon since the early 1950s.

The program at which Brady spoke is part of the Brown Bag Lunch series (held on the third Tuesday of every month) that was instituted by Frances McCain. McCain, who is retiring after serving two terms on the library’s board of directors, was respon-sible for organizing numerous programs at the library includ-ing plays and other library sponsored activities held at the Tryon Fine Arts Center and summer children’s programs. All Lanier Library programs are free to the public.

The Lanier Library, lo-cated at the corner of Chestnut Street and Melrose Avenue in Tryon, is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., on Wednes-days and Saturdays from 9:30

a.m. – 1 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 – 4 p.m. It is one of only 16 membership libraries in the United States, including athenaeums in Boston, New

Landrum’s Joseph Corn pitches against Dixie on Thursday night in the first round of the 1A state playoffs. Landrum beat the Hornets 5-4. (photo by Joey Millwood)

Landrum wins dramatic first round in 1A state playoffsby Joey Millwood

Landrum won its first round 1A state playoff matchup against Dixie in dramatic fashion on Thursday night, April 28. The game was tied 2-2 going into the seventh inning, but the Hornets scored two runs in the top of the seventh.

When the Landrum baseball team walked off the field in the middle of the seventh inning, they were met by head coach Ray McCallister. McCallister wasn’t going to see any heads down.

“I challenged them when they came off the field that champions stand up and fight and they stood up and fought,” he said. “I’m proud of them.”

The Cardinals came out in the bottom half of the final inning, scored three runs and celebrated at home plate with a 5-4 victory.

Two times on Thursday night, Cardinal centerfielder Connor Noland came up to the plate with two outs and runners in scoring position. Down 2-0 in the second inning, Noland sent a shot into

the outfield, driving in two runs. He came up again in the bottom of the seventh and hit a hard line drive towards Dixie shortstop Will Hopkins. Hopkins turned and fired toward first baseman Alex Cann, but Noland was hustling down the line and Cann mishandled the ball. Two runs crossed the plate to tie the game and Noland reached base for the third time.

“It felt great to come through for my team,” Noland said.

Dixie pitcher Caleb Chandler walked Jon Humphries to score the winning run for the Cardinals. Matt Pruitt got the win for the Car-dinals after retiring the last batter in the seventh for Landrum. Lan-drum starter Joseph Corn pitched a strong game, striking out five batters. The seventh inning was just bad luck for the senior as an error kept the inning alive long enough for Dixie’s Drew Devore to hit a two-RBI double.

Landrum’s first round con-tinued on Saturday versus Lew-isville. Those results were not available by press time.

Lady Wolverines soccer prevails over Hendersonvilleby Jordan DeVere

On Thursday, April 28, the Lady Wolverines made the trip up the mountain to face arch rival Hendersonville in a highly anticipated match-up of conference powers.

Both the JV and the var-sity game were decided by one goal. JV fell short 3-2 and var-sity prevailed in overtime 3-2.

In the early going it became clear it was going to be a very physical game with lots of fouls on both sides. The refs did not

help this, as they made several questionable calls at key points. At one point the head ref failed to see that the lines men had called offsides and because of this error, he gave the ball back to the Bearcats in the Wolver-ine’s zone.

Despite this, the Wolverines gave up only one goal in the first half after a breakdown in communication by the defend-ers. At the half the Bearcats led 1-0.

At the beginning of the sec-

ond half Hendersonville came out with renewed pressure, keeping Polk’s defense and keeper on their toes. Donna Every made several saves at full extension to keep the Wol-verines within reach.

With 12 minutes to play the Wolverines finally got the equalizer as Ellese Cash sprinted through the opposing defense and beat the keeper, tying the game at one game apiece.

At the end of regulation both

teams prepared for what proved to be a dramatic overtime.

The first OT was evenly matched as both teams had their chances but all were turned away.

Polk’s keeper Donna Every again made several saves, and after the first half of OT the game was still knotted up at one a piece.

In the second half of OT, things got interesting. With less than five minutes to play, Polk

Farmer pitches gem en route to playoff winby Joey Millwood

The Landrum bats were alive on Thursday night in the first round of the 1A state softball playoffs. The Lady Cardinals beat Ware Shoals 16-0, but the bats weren’t the only story of the night.

Jordan Farmer pitched a gem, en route to the victory.

Farmer struck out eight of the first nine batters she faced. Macie McDill grounded out to Farmer in the first inning, but there wasn’t another Lady Hornet batter to put a bat on the ball until Anna Pulley lined out to shortstop Lauren Pitts in the fourth inning.

“I felt pretty good,” Farmer said. “We just felt that if we went out there, start it off good and maybe it will carry over (farther into the playoffs).”

The game couldn’t have unfolded any more perfectly for head coach Tucker Hamrick.

“We wanted to come out and not make mistakes,” he said. “We wanted to play Landrum Cardinal softball.”

The two biggest innings of-fensively were the first two for the Lady Cardinals. Landrum scored five in the first and four in the second. Taylor Jenkins started the first inning by reach-ing base on an error. Farmer fol-

lowed with a double. Pitts drove in Farmer with a single. Bre Cuff drove in Pitts on a fielder’s choice. Cuff later scored on a single from Morgan Smith.

Pitts led the way for the Lady Cardinals. The shortstop was 2-2 with a walk and drove in three runs while scoring twice. Skylar Henderson and Mallori Inman had two RBIs each. Cuff, Shelby Morris, Taylor Jenkins, Smith and Taylor Wahler all had one RBI.

The Lady Cardinals will now shift their focus to McBee. Landrum will host the Lady Panthers at 3:30 p.m. on Sat-urday.

striker Brittany Phipps received a cross into the box and headed it into the back of the net, giv-ing the Wolverines their first lead against Hendersonville this season.

This victory was short-lived, however, as less than a minute later the Bearcats tied the game.

The teams continued to bat-tle it out until Cash finished the Bearcats off with a goal with just 30 seconds to play, sealing the deal for the Wolverines 3-2.

“All I have to say is we all

stepped it up tonight,” Phipps said. “And one couldn’t have done it without the other. We played like a real team should.”.

The win keeps the Wolver-ines in line for the conference championship as they look to clinch the championship versus a good Thomas Jefferson team.

McSherry speaks at Polk County Republican Women’s Club May 5Walter McSherry, a conserva-

tive political activist, will be the guest speaker at the luncheon meeting of the Polk County Republican Women’s Club on Thursday, May 5.

McSherry graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and received an M.B.A degree from the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania. He is a life member of the National Repub-lican Senatorial Committee and has served on the South Carolina Republican Rules Committee since 2004.

delegate to Republican National Conventions in both states.

McSherry and his wife, Mer-edith Mahaffey McSherry, have been deeply involved in politics at all levels of government. Both have been instrumental in the elections of conservatives to po-litical office, including the office of President of the United States. Meredith is a ‘Polk County girl’ and graduated as salutatorian at Green Creek High School before she moved to Illinois, California, Iran, New York and finally to South Carolina. Meredith will ac-company her husband to the Polk County Republican Women’s Club meeting on May 5 at 11:30 a.m. at Tryon Estates.

New promotional video coming to Landrum’s websiteby Leah Justice

The City of Landrum is cur-rently working on a video for its website centered on the city’s slogan, “There’s more to do in Landrum.”

Landrum City Council dis-cussed last week a video to be placed on the city’s website at www.cityoflandrum.com. The video will focus on the city's beauty and attractions and will be designed to draw more visi-tors.

City administrator Steve Wo-lochowicz said the video will

show a lot of illustrations of the town and the area, with cameos from residents.

The video, which will be ap-proximately three to five minutes long, will cost the city $2,500. The money will come from hospitality tax funds.

Synergy Point, the city’s website providers, are handling the video.

The video will be approxi-mately three to five minutes.

It is not known yet when the video will be complete to be placed on the website.

A few tips…• Lighter and more contrasting subjects and backgrounds will

print better than subjects and backgrounds with similar hues. When possible, keep the background clean and simple, not too cluttered.

• Focus on the people in your shots – zoom in on them so that their expressions can be seen. When possible, show people doing things rather than lined up facing the camera.

• High-quality (100 or 200 dpi) .jpg formats are preferred, be-tween 3 and 6 inches wide.

• When you email the photo, if at all possible, please include in your email the names of all the people in your photo, identi-fied from left to right. Photos without names are less likely to be published.

Thanks for your submissions… see you in the paper!

How to enhance profits from special eventslisted the help of eBay, which h a s h e l p e d thousands of charities raise mi l l ions o f dollars over the last several years. The idea of having a virtual auction opens up the bidding to more possible do-nors that are not located in the local community.

Advertising or more specifi-cally, selling advertising, for the special event can also be a great source of extra income for the organization.

In planning what advertis-ing to sell, consider thinking outside of the box. A good example would be an event that I attended several years ago that sold advertising space on the back of the restroom doors.

At first I stopped and thought, well; but after careful thought my statement changed to how smart. What is the only place that everyone at the event will visit at least once – the answer; the restroom. The most common place to sell advertis-ing space is on the tables at the event.

The sponsor of the table will get in return for their spon-sorship their name proudly displayed at the table or tables

In the last article we dis-cussed the food for your spe-cial events. In this article we will talk about profit enhancers for your special event.

I have said it before and will say it again, as nonprofit lead-ers we want all of our events to be successful.

This is especially true for the special events intended to raise a lot of money for our organizations.

So, what are some ways to add additional revenue and your next special event?

Let’s start with several dif-ferent profit enhancers de-scribed in this article.

Auctions are almost a staple and continue to raise a lot of money for nonprofits.

Most nonprofits focus on live and silent auctions. In or-der for live and silent auctions to be successful the organiza-tion must put a lot of work into getting several large and desirable items, along with a lot of smaller, just as desirable items to auction.

A new concept is that the auction itself is the event and it is virtual (all online). Orga-nizations choose several items that fit their mission closely and auction the items online. Several nonprofits have en-

and sometimes will get the op-portunity to hand out in-formation or coupons for

their business to all the guests. This can be a great win/win

for both organizations. Additional “fun and cute”

profit enhancers include the following ideas: • Balloons - this is where

volunteers walk around and sell balloons for a specific amount, we will use the ex-ample of a dollar for this ar-ticle. The balloons are then popped and inside the buyer will find a number that cor-responds to a donated prize.

• Duck pond - this is where the event will have a small child’s swimming pool with floating ducks. Guests pur-chase the ducks for a specif-ic amount and on the bottom of the duck they will find a number that corresponds to a donated prize. Another similar concept is

the Key Club - this is where volunteers sell keys that may or may not open a door to reveal one of the donated prizes.

Items that can be sold at the special event to increase the profit could include the fol-

lowing ideas: DVDs or CDs of prior events or commemorative cookbooks published for the organization by their friends group or volunteers.

Raffles for large items, such as a vacation, are also another great way to increase the profit at your event. The final thought is a 50/50, when guests check in at the registration table ap-proach them to participate in the 50/50 and set a time to an-nounce the winner.

At many events I have at-tended I have witnessed the guest who won the 50/50 turn over the entire amount back to the organization.

The next several articles will focus on special events and how to successfully host one for your organization.

TDDA to host Palmer Street design charrette Friday, May 6The Tryon Downtown De-

velopment Association (TDDA) will host a design workshop, or “charrette,” to generate devel-opment concepts for the future direction of the Palmer Street area in downtown Tryon Friday, May 6 at 10 a.m.

The term “charette” means “cart” or “chariot” in French. Architectural students frequent-ly worked to the last minute on their design presentations, even while riding in the school

cart (en charrette) through the streets of Paris en route to submit their projects to their professors. The term became synonymous with working right up until a deadline, or an intense work session.

The goal of the two-day event is to develop ideas sug-gesting future potential and development opportunities that would be beneficial to the long-term growth and vitality of the downtown Tryon area.

The study area encompasses the area bound by Trade, Howard, Palmer and Maple Streets.

The charrette will take place at the Tryon Fire Station. Par-ticipants will brainstorm ideas, facilitated by local design pro-fessionals who will lead groups in illustrating concepts. The session will conclude with a public presentation Saturday, May 7, at 11 a.m.

Lew Holloway, urban de-signer with the Small Town

Main Street Program, will serve as the meeting moderator. Hol-loway was Tryon’s representa-tive during the recent Small Town Main Street process.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend and par-ticipate throughout the two-day session.

Contact John Walters AIA, TDDA Design Committee Chair, for additional informa-tion 828-859-0329.

Big Brothers Big Sisters hold fourth annual hunter paceThe fourth annual Big Broth-

ers Big Sisters Hunter Pace at Caroland Farms will be held Saturday, May 7, with a rain date of Sunday, May 8.

Caroland Farms is a private property area encompassing about 1,000 acres of open space where participants will ride a course along the Pacolet River and through woods and fields with mountain views.

As an annual event with the Western Carolina Hunter Pace and Trail Ride Series, this course is highly regarded on the Hunter Pace circuit.

There are optional jumps in both the field hunter and trail rider divisions. Children under 12 pay a reduced fee and the entry fee for all includes a bar-becue lunch by Harry Denton.

Riders on these time-hon-ored Hunting Country trails will help enrich the lives of children in Polk County and the Lan-drum area through contributing to mentoring services provided by the local Big Brothers Big

Sisters organiza-tion.

BBBS officials said the impact of a mentor in a child’s life is sig-nificant, resulting in better grades in school, improved relationships with others, increased self-confidence and the ab i l -ity to withstand peer p ressure and make wiser choices.

Slater Proper-ties Inc. and the North Pacolet Association Inc. share the property with BBBS for this event. Ad-ditional trails on private property adjacent to Slater Properties add to this year’s course as well. Visit the official Western Caro-lina Hunter Pace website to

register at www.wchpace.org. For further information, contact Patty Slater at 828-894-3828.
