blue ghost strength + yoga with mountain true

For the month of June we’re working with Mountain True!

Join us on Sunday, June 7th from for a special FREE family-friendly event from 4:00pm-6:00pm at RAD Brewing.

Schedule:
4:00pm to 5:30pm | Kid-friendly outdoor activities (bubbles, chalk, etc.)
4:30pm | 20 min presentation from Josh Kelly of MountainTrue

Join us for a celebration of our region’s elusive Blue Ghost Firefly and the unique ecology of Western North Carolina. The southern Appalachian mountains are home to a number of unique species, but the fireflies are truly a magical spring and summertime treat. Blue Ghosts really do glow blue, and hover dimly in forested areas. These creatures are extremely sensitive, and are only visible for about 6 weeks of the year in late spring or early summer. Enjoy a FREE family-friendly afternoon with a presentation from Josh Kelly, Resilient Forests Program Director at MountainTrue, who will share his knowledge of our region’s ecological treasures, and how to tread lightly when heading out to view the Blue Ghosts.Activities for kids will be provided during the presentation. This event celebrates the RAD Brewing Co’s May round-up contributions to MountainTrue and Blue Ghost Strength + Yoga’s Community Spotlight, which will donate $1 for every student in a class to MountainTrue for the month of June.
