This was our first time at the Hazel Robinson Amphitheatre and The Montford Park Players outstanding performance of Robin Hood will bring us back again and again! The talent and direction was superb! The fight scenes were choreographed beautifully as were the duels. What a marvelous opportunity for community involvement! The audience obvious loved the show, as we were all engaged and participated in booing the bad guys and cheering the good guys. You could tell as an audience member that the cast was having a great time too! BRAVO!

My husband and I along with our 16 year old daughter took a half day guided trip with Tony over springbreak when we visited Hendersonville. My husband had some experience fly fishing, but my daughter and I were rank beginners! Tony was very knowledgeable and patient with us. He took us to a great spot with lots of trout, almost guaranteeing that we would catch something! My daughter and I had success! We didn’t set any records, but we did catch about 4 fish. My husband pulled in about a dozen. All in all a fun trip and we would highly recommend the experience!

We came to Asheville with reservations to tour the Vanderbilt house. Having spent a day at Biltmore, we went to the Visitor Center the next day. A bus was in the lot and the staff inside the Center asked if we were here for the bus tour leaving in 5 minutes. Yes, good idea. The center is large, well laid out and welcoming with clean restrooms which was all we had time to see. Our tour bus driver-guide was outstanding. He had an answer for any question. We learned so much about the area history and the people there. The tour was worth every cent we paid.
