This is a beautiful time to travel...the weather will be cooler and there will be a hint of fall in the air and some color as we crest the mountains. "How Sweet the Sound" features some of our favorite old hymns and gospel songs. Songs that have stood the test of time, songs that have been with us through the good times and the hard times, songs that have a great message in the lyrics, songs that we can all sing along with! Our tour will include transportation by late model motorcoach, delicious lunch and uplifting musical show. *Special note: all safety precautions will be taken, including enhanced cleaning on the motorcoach and at the theatre. Social distancing will be in effect at the Wohlfhart Haus. Masks will be worn at the passengers discretion. Temperatures will be taken prior to passengers boarding the motorcoach.

Located at Crowe Park, it offi cially opened at 5PM on Friday, September 4 as North Carolina moved into Phase 2.5. It has many fun features, including a climbing wall, rope climbs, slides, xylophones and more. The new playground replaces the former equipment which was originally installed in 1988 and in need of a major renovation. The Town of Forest City would like to recognize the Public Works Department for completing the demolition and grading, the Parks and Recreation Maintenance Crew for the design and installation of the landscaping and Town staff that worked diligently to ensure that the project was completed under budget. Located at 267 Crowe Park Drive, the playground is also adjacent to several picnic shelters which are available for rent. The Parks and Recreation Department is happy to help you reserve a shelter for your next family reunion or birthday party. We invite everyone to come out and enjoy the new playground!
