The town of Rutherfordton is known for hosting the tallest Christmas tree in North Carolina. This year they’re setting their sights on a bigger accomplishment, a world tour by taking a trip around town.
Town manager Doug Barrick said a new restaurant passport allows you to collect stamps at restaurants across the town and turn the finished booklets in for prizes at Town Hall.
Restaurants are diverse and offer a variety of food choices including Thai, Mexican, etc.
On Dec 7, Barrick said there will be a tree lighting, pictures with Santa and the Christmas Parade, downtown.
The first and third Saturday’s of the month welcome a Winter farmer’s market at Main Street Market, which also helps to fund a non-profit focusing on mind and body health, Blue Ridge Hope.
