Welcome to Active Rain, Caroline, and congratulations on your first post!

Thank you for the information about Banner Elk.  I'm a displaced Southerner in California now, but still have roots in the Southeast that will never die, so I'm very happy to hear about your area.

I look forward to seeing your future posts!

I just wanted to welcome you to Active Rain! This is a great community for learning as well as sharing.  Join some groups, read some blogs, and write whatever comes to mind.  Sometimes the most effective blogs have nothing to do with our business!

If you ever have need of a high-octane REALTOR(R) in South Carolina, let me know. Again, welcome!

PS - I need to check out the Wooly Worm Festival!
