| Woolly Worm Judging Can Be Hard! |
Worm trainers nurse their pets year round in preparation for the event. The fastest woolly worm can win their owner up to $1000! But how did this all start? Back in the 70's, Jim Morton photographed the little worms for his magazine, as they're known to predict the winter weather. After he did, he realized there was no event held to officially recognize which worm would be the predictor for the season, and then, the Woolly Worm Festival came to life!
Don't worry, there are many things to do at the festival. 140 vendors from all over the area setup booths with arts and crafts native to the High Country. Come on down to Banner Elk October 19th and 20st, or snatch a cabin for the weekend, and watch these critters crawl!

DO NOT USE HIGH COUNTRY CABIN RENTALS!!!! I stayed at one of their rentals called "The Dusty Boot" in NC & this is what happened! Where on the list do I start?? The dead rotten smell in the basement, the broken pool table, the fact that EVERYDAY we were disturbed by unannounced people working on the house. The fact that there was mouse poop EVERYWHERE!!! When we EXPECTED a refund we were told by the High Country Cabin Rentals they would fight for us, what they ended up doing was NOTHING for us AT ALL!!! It was the MOST unrelaxed vacation I EVER went on. No one wanted to help us, I'll be calling my lawyer & credit card company this week. TOTALLY not worth it! Go to another rental company & different house! This company only wants your money apparently they don't care about customer service...I have audio & video of everything & every conversation, get in touch, I'll be more then happy to tell you what a POS they are!!!! I'll be taking them to court so this doesnt happen to YOU!
