“Art in Motion: Carroll County New River Driftwood Mobiles” is coming to Hillsville for a mobile-filled Summer Solstice Celebration at the Hale-Wilkinsin-Carter Home on Friday, June 20 starting at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. Ten Carroll County New River Driftwood mobiles created by Fries resident Saul Chase will be on display on the expansive front porch of the Hale-Wilkinson-Carter Home and in The Gallery.
Mr. Chase will construct mobiles on the Hale-Wilkinson-Carter Home’s porch on Saturday, June 21 from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. and on Sunday, June 22 from 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Each visitor will receive a gift package containing two Carroll County New River driftwood sticks, colorful beads, and sturdy nylon twine. The Raffle Drawing for the Carroll County New River Driftwood mobiles on display will take place on Sunday at 5:00 p.m.
Mr. Chase considers it a wonderful blessing that he, with his wife, Nan, moved to Fries from Asheville in 2019 to find friendly people, beautiful scenery, and plentiful driftwood on the shores of the New River, the oldest river in the Western Hemisphere. Mr. Chase serves as one of the five Virginia representatives on the Board of Directors of The New River Conservancy.
