Description

We’re keeping the momentum going in McDowell County — and Old Fort is next! Join us on Saturday, June 7 at 10:30 AM for a Town of Old Fort Ribbon Cutting that celebrates the strength and spirit of this resilient community. 📍 We’ll gather at the corner of Water Street and Catawba Avenue, right next to the Mountain Gateway Museum fountain. This is more than a ribbon cutting — it’s a declaration: Old Fort is open for business, rebuilding with pride, and ready for what’s next. Just like in Marion, this event will serve as our collective exhale — a moment of joy, unity, and celebration after a long road to recovery following Hurricane Helene. Please invite your family, friends, team members, and fellow community supporters. Let’s fill downtown Old Fort with the energy of a town that never gave up. We’ll see you there — with ribbon, scissors, and plenty to celebrate.
