Flavors of the Foothills, a unique fundraiser hosted by Foothills Conservancy, will take place on May 20 at Fonta Flora Brewery – Whippoorwill Farm. The culinary festival features cuisine from a range of accomplished Western North Carolina chefs. Foothills Conservancy is currently seeking sponsors for the event. “This event brings together the entire community around protecting our precious environment here in WNC, a cause that we all share and love,” says Pam Hardin, director of development for the Conservancy. “Whenever you support this event, and Foothills Conservancy’s work at large, you become an important partner in the conservation of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounding foothills in WNC—including local farmland protection. As a nationally recognized and accredited land trust, your giving has a direct and amplified impact in protecting our environment.”
