OK, so I haven't been on much at all in months (um, well, really none at all) but that is going to change thankfully. Anyhow, I have FINALLY gotten all my Blowing Rock pictures edited (sorta) and posted to my webshots. There are tons of them, sorry, but for anyone who hasn't been there, there are some good shots of the show grounds. Its such a cool place! Hopefully one of these days I'll hook up the scanner to the new laptop and will actually be able to post some action shots of Woody and I. But don't hold your breath for such level of organization anytime soon... Blowing Rock pictures |

Kikki - thank you so much! Must know BR is my favorite show of all time - the Best Cellar is now in my family's old home - so glad they bought Ragged Garden. Again, thanks again, took me back there all over again! |

OMG - Jodes - how amazing! My mother's family owned Ragged Garden from the 1930's till 1954. My grandmother rebuilt if after a fire and some of the original work is still there. The house had a cottage behind and stables. It went all the way back to what is the Chetola road. Mum used to ride to the BR show - she bought her mare from Ginny Moss when she and her sister owned a stable in Linville. I went there to show in the early 60's - My family lived also in Philadelphia. Here is a pic of my mum showing there in 1936 I love the place!

What cool stories about Ragged Gardens! That place is so cool! And The Best Cellar was amazing!!! We ate at so many of the coolest places - Good thing we had to climb a mountain to the barn to work off all that we ate every night! We hadn't been in a few years so it was nice to get to go back. I am already looking forward to next year! |

Very cool 2 Dogs!! I used to ride at Linville Stables myself as a kid, my Grandparents had a house on Grandmother lake Blowing Rock is such a cool show, which such a cool history....it's very cool you have those memories!!! I showed at BR as a kid, but I hope to make it back as a grown up soon!!! I love the Inn, the original part especially....it's nice to hear about the history. We used to always think it was haunted and freak ourselves out during the winter late nights at the restaurant....

Oh please. Given some of your late winter nights you were probably freaked out by The Speckled Trout.

Jodes - my aunt died in the house, and I believe the stories are that is is she who haunts Ragged Garden - Next year, we must meet! I have a project to start recording mother's stories about BR - her memory is fabulous but she can't see much anymore so I need to tape them. |
