Read about artists Ann Moorefield and Joan Payton, who found a way to turn their talents into awareness of women\u2019s issues, with a project that is inspiring others to volunteer time and talents. Our Sustainability feature focuses on Asheville\u2019s Animal Haven, where founders Barbara Bellows and Trina Hudson offer pastureland and shelter for homeless and abused farm animals.<\/p>\n<p>With the approach of the holidays, calendars once again fill with chances for celebrations and opportunities to purchase art and handmade goods for gifts. Among upcoming events to circle in red are the Marshall Handmade Market, the Toe River Arts Studio Tour, Brevard\u2019s The HeART of the Season and the River Arts District Studio Stroll. Winter Lights magic begins at the North Carolina Arboretum this month, and Dillsboro\u2019s annual Festival of Lights and Luminaries is just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>During your holiday shopping, don\u2019t forget Small Business Saturday on November 26.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re thankful for all of you, our readers and supporters.
