John C. Campbell Folk School open again
The John C. Campbell Folk School is holding classes again and if you are looking for a great way to spend a weekend, you want to sign up for a writing class by Carol Crawford in August. It is not too early to register. Remember, if you live locally, your tuition is discounted.

We love the folk school here in western North Carolina and appreciate the writing program started years ago by the late Dr. Gene Hirsch when Jan Davidson was director of John Campbell.
Nancy Simpson, popular poet and co-founder of NCWN-West was once Resident Writer there. Nancy brought many outstanding writers and poets here to teach weeklong classes. Those were some of my happiest times, taking classes and later teaching at JCCFS.
We look forward to more writing classes as our world gets back to normal again.
