2011 CARLTON REUNION

Boomer, NC

IMPORTANT CHANGE: Please note that the 2011 Carlton Reunion has been changed to the

fourth Saturday, June 25, starting at 10:00.

Bring your own lunch. Sodas and water are provided. We have a gas grill for anyone

wanting to cook. There is always plenty to share.

Treasurer’s Report: We are in dire need of money with only $344 in the treasury.

We replaced the damaged roof, and added gas logs so the fireplace is now functional.

These expenses, plus upkeep of the grounds this summer, insect treatment of the

logs, expenses for the reunion, and taxes will more than deplete our funds.

Remember that this house is YOURS. So please bring a donation if you attend, or

mail a donation (payable to Carlton Homestead) if you are unable to attend this

year. Please help!

This year we will have a swimming pool for the kids, a nature walk, and a trip to

the falls. Campgrounds are nearby with canoe/kayak rentals, and fishing available.

We’re about 30 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and closer to Stone Mountain

Park.

If you have an email address, please send it to me so I can send you notices that

way and save money on postage and paper: <ewwinslow@wilkes.net>

Call me if you need motel information or directions.

Keep in mind that our oldest generation of family is shrinking rapidly, with only a

few members still with us. Come, meet, and talk to them while you can. They have

lots of good stories about the “good old days”.

And come meet the youngest generation too. The young Carltons will keep our family

heritage alive.

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way to help you get here. We just

want everyone to get together and have fun.

Please tell all your relatives in case I do not have a current address or email for

them.

Have a safe trip, and please remember your donation. See you on the 25th!

Your cousin,

Cindy Carlton Winslow

The Annual Brushy Mountain Apple Festival is one of the largest one-day arts and crafts festivals in the Southeast. The Brushy Mountain Ruritan Club owns, operates, and organizes the event each year. The Brushy Mountain Apple Festival is not just this club's largest fundraiser, but has become a one of Wilkes County's biggest fundraisers. Over 100 civic, church and other non-profit organizations participate in the festival. For many of them, the festival has become the biggest fundraiser of the year. Over 160,000 people visit this festival during the day and it's FREE.

The streets of downtown North Wilkesboro, NC are filled with over 425 arts and crafts, 100 food concessions, 4 different music stages consisting of Blue Grass, Country, Folk, Gospel, and Appalachian Heritage. Cloggers, folk dancers, rope skippers, and square dancers provide additional entertainment venues for festival goers. Appalachian Heritage crafts are highlighted such as woodcarving, chair making, soap making, pottery throwing, and quilting. When walking through the streets of the festival observing and buying lots of the arts and crafts, Appalachian dulcimers can be heard while the smells of the variety of foods are enticing everyone's appetites. Let us not forget the apples, apples, and apples. Local apple growers set up throughout the festival selling their apples, apple cider, and dried apples. After all, this festival also pays tribute to the fruit grown and harvested each fall by apple orchardists from Northwestern North Carolina.

So come join the Brushy Mountain Ruritan Club in the Annual Brushy Mountain Apple Festival this year in downtown North Wilkesboro, NC from 8 AM to 5 PM. The Brushy Mountain Ruritan Club Information Booth located at the intersection of Main and 9th Street will have copies of the Souvenir Program and Guide filled with schedules of music, dancing, locations of exhibitors, food concessions, apple recipes, stories and tales about the community and more. The Wilkes Art Council Juried section will be located on 9th Street.

Pre-festival activities begin with “Apple Jam" at 6:00 PM on Friday night, with "live entertainment" at the Brushy Mountain Ruritan Club’s Brushy Mountain Apple Festival Park. This is located at the corner of 10th and Main Streets. So come early bringing your chairs, family and friends to enjoy a great evening kicking off this year’s Brushy Mountain Apple Festival. There will be a few food vendors set up along with the local restaurants available for dinner.

For more information regarding the festival, contact the Brushy Mountain Ruritan Club at (336) 984-3022, or write at P. O. Box 129, Moravian Falls, NC 28654.

The reunion is at the Carlton cabin at Boomer at 10:00 a.m. on 4th Saturday,

June 25 2011

Besides eating, and meeting all the cousins and other kin, the
activities include going up on the mountain to see the graveyard and
graves of Peter Saner, Charles and Sarah Saner Carlton, etc. The land
the cemetery is on is retained by the family, but the original family
land on Warrior Creek has been divided up and sold.

The surrounding area is beautiful. Pete and Lael Carlton's house,
across the road from the cabin, looks out over a huge bottom where they
raise cattle and hay. The hill next to their house is the second best
hang-gliding spot in North Carolina (next to Kill Devil Hill).
Hang-gliders come from all over North Carolina and were there during one
of our visits in October. Very colorful and a little scary.

The site of the old mill is up the road and although the mill is gone
(the millstones are now benches in front of the cabin) the creek and
rocks are the kids' favorite thing. They wear bathing suits under their
clothes and after dinner the kids go up there and wade and splash around
(with parents watching, of course).
