UPDATE: On December 19, the decision was made to move the event indoors at the museum, because of high winds outdoors. Other plans remain the same. Join us around the Christmas tree inside the museum at the address below!

Join us at the 1800 farm museum for our annual traditional Christmas in the Blue Ridge. The 1800 farm at the BRIM will be lit with lanterns and we will have cookies, cider, and a variety of vendors selling their unique items. This annual event is FREE and open to the public and we hope you will share this special time with us.

The fourth annual Moonshine Heritage Car Show will take place at Ferrum College on Saturday, April 27, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.  This unique car show will showcase vehicles that were actual transporters of moonshine or the type of vehicle that was used for the hauling of illegal spirits. Admission is free so bring the family for a day of fun!

There will be plenty of storytelling and bragging about the exploits and history of these special cars and trucks from the actual drivers.  After the show, participants will cruise down to Twin Creeks Distillery in Rocky Mount for a moonshine tasting. Also visit the special moonshine souvenir tent with models of stills, mash sticks, and Virginia is for Moonshine Lovers hats, t-shirts, and bumper stickers.

Food will be available onsite from the legendary Bowling’s Hotdogs of Waidsboro.

This event is sponsored by the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum of Ferrum College with the assistance of the Outlaw Cruisers Car Club of Franklin County, VA.
