OK, the blog title is not creative but we're too busy working on the future of the Central Park to devote too much time on a name. Perhaps this will be the subject of a blog contest not too far down the road.

To answer our readers' basic questions:

Why are we blogging? We hope to use this blog to do something that noone else does -- create a comprehensive look at everything happening in North Carolina's Central Park. It will be tough to keep up with just the outdoor recreation alone without also mentioning the arts, antiques, wine tastings, festivals, music, agritourism events, and museums that are all contributing to the high quality of life enjoyed by those who visit daily.

Who will be blogging? The entire organization and then some. Everyone from our executive director, Nancy Gottovi, to the business owners in STARworks or the potters and glass artisans practicing their craft in the building. They are all encouraged to contribute stories and story ideas.

Feel free to contribute events and news by writing to me (tim -at- centralparknc.org) or stopping by our offices just north of Star, NC on Rte 220.

Thanks for visiting, we hope to see you in North Carolina's Central Park.
