SUMMARY:Roan Mountain Spring Naturalists Rally
DESCRIPTION:This will be the 67th year that naturalists and those that love nature have been gathering at Roan Mountain for the Roan Mountain Spring Naturalists Rally. This spring’s rally is set to be one of the finest with evening speakers\, Ingrid Luffman and Lisa Benish\, lunchtime activities\, a lunchtime program by Cade Campbell\, a lunchtime slide show and a great variety of field trips over the entire weekend. All activities at the rally are family-friendly\, and there are a variety of difficulty levels. This rally\, and all rallies\, are sponsored by the Friends of Roan Mountain and would not be possible without many volunteers and the support of Roan Mountain State Park.\nMembers of the Friends of Roan Mountain are admitted to all weekend activities at no charge\, with the exception of meals. Registration without membership is detailed in the brochure. By becoming a member of Friends of Roan Mountain\, you can attend 4 different rallies throughout the year – Winter\, Spring\, Summer (Xtreme Roan Adventures for Kids)\, and Fall.\nFriends of Roan Mountain is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.\nFor additional information about the rally:\nwww.friendsofroanmtn.org\nTO REGISTER GO TO FRIENDS OF ROAN MOUNTAIN WEBSITE:\nwww.friendsofroanmtn.org\nFriday Evening Program:\nETSU Geoscientists Respond to Hurricane Helene by Ingrid Luffman\n\nIngrid Luffman is a hydrologist with ETSU’s Department of Geosciences. She has degrees in Mathematics\, Earth Sciences\, and a PhD in Geography from University of Tennessee. A transplant from Canada\, she has taught at ETSU for 28 years\, and is a founding member of the Boone Watershed Partnership\, a local non-profit that identifies and addresses water resources concerns in the Boone Watershed. Recently\, the partnership completed forest restoration work at Jacob’s Nature Park in Johnson City to eliminate hundreds of invasive plants and replace them with over 400 native plants; volunteers contributed over 800 hours to the project.\nProgram Description: \nIn September 2024\, Hurricane produced high winds and torrential rains in the NC headwaters of several TN streams\, leading to flooding that scoured channels and floodplains\, removed riparian forests\, and destroyed homes and sanitary infrastructure. When extreme weather events occur\, as a hydrologist and geoscientist\, I try to understand the nature and magnitude of the event by evaluating damage to critical infrastructure and by using data to estimate how often events of this magnitude might recur in our communities. This program describes work done by ETSU Geoscientists in the days and months following Hurricane Helene.\n\nSaturday Evening Program:\nDiscovering the Blue Ridge: Place-Based Nature Education at Blue Ridge Discovery Center\nby Lisa Benish\n \nLisa Benish is an environmental educator and the Executive Director of the Blue Ridge Discovery Center (BRDC) in southwest Virginia. With a passion for place-based learning and conservation\, she leads BRDC’s efforts to connect people of all ages to the natural world through hands-on science\, outdoor exploration\, and stewardship programming. Lisa works closely with educators\, naturalists\, and community partners to develop immersive programs that highlight the ecological richness of the Blue Ridge region\, including forests\, wetlands\, streams\, meadows\, and pollinator habitats. Her work focuses on fostering curiosity\, conservation ethics\,and access to meaningful nature experiences for rural and underserved communities. \nProgram Description:                                            \nThe Blue Ridge Discovery Center (BRDC) is a regional hub for environmental education and wildlife discovery in southwest Virginia. This presentation will introduce BRDC’s mission\, campus\, and core programs\, highlighting how its diverse landscapes—forests\, wetlands\, streams\, meadows\, and pollinator gardens—serve as living classrooms.

SUMMARY:Gin Blossoms
DESCRIPTION:Formed in Tempe\, Arizona in 1987\, Gin Blossoms helped define alternative radio in the early ‘90s with their breakout major-label debut New Miserable Experience. Led by the gold-certified hit “Hey Jealousy\,” the album went on to sell more than four million copies\, delivering enduring singles like “Allison Road” and “Until I Fall Away” and cementing the band as power-pop mainstays. Their hometown legacy was officially recognized in October 2022\, when Tempe unveiled an honorary street sign renaming a section of 8th Street between Rural Road and Una Avenue as “Allison Road Avenue\,” celebrating both the beloved song and the album’s 30th anniversary.\nThey followed with the platinum-selling Congratulations I’m Sorry\, featuring the Top 10 smash “Follow You Down” and the GRAMMY®-nominated “As Long as It Matters.” Decades later\, their jangly guitars\, sharp hooks\, and emotionally resonant songwriting still hit with the same immediacy. Made up of Robin Wilson\, Jesse Valenzuela\, Bill Leen\, and Scotty Johnson\, Gin Blossoms continue to evolve without losing the sound that made them essential. Their latest album\, Mixed Reality (produced by Don Dixon and engineered by Mitch Easter)\, delivers 15 new tracks packed with chiming melodies\, wry lyricism\, and undeniable heart\, proving the band is as vital now as ever.\nInducted into the Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2017\, Gin Blossoms remain road-tested and fan-driven\, touring relentlessly and sharing stages with Collective Soul\, Barenaked Ladies\, and Hootie & The Blowfish. Reuniting once again with Blues Traveler for this year’s tour\, the longtime collaborators are building on the momentum of last summer\, when they took over the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage for an epic mashup — an electric reminder that Gin Blossoms continue to turn nostalgia into something unmistakably alive

SUMMARY:Stories 'n More
DESCRIPTION:If you’re looking for the heart of storytelling in the town that basically invented the modern revival of the art\, Stories ‘n More is where the magic happens. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by the Jonesborough Storytellers Guild\, this weekly event is a staple of Tuesday nights in Tennessee’s oldest town. It’s less of a formal performance and more of a warm\, communal gathering where the oral tradition truly breathes. \n\n\nThe Atmosphere\nThe vibe is intimate and authentic. Held at the International Storytelling Center (or occasionally nearby local venues like the  McKinney Center)\, the evening feels like sitting in a very large\, very talented living room. \nWhat to Expect\n\n\nDiverse Tellers: You’ll hear from seasoned professionals who have graced national stages\, alongside guild members honing new material. \n\n\nThe “More” in the Name: While the focus is on spoken-word stories\, you’ll often find the night peppered with poetry\, acoustic music\, or personal tall tales. \n\n\nA Living Art: Unlike a recorded podcast\, these stories change based on the energy of the room. It’s interactive\, raw\, and deeply human. \n\n\nThe Details\n\n\nWhen: Every Tuesday night. \n\n\nTime: Usually kicks off at 7:00 PM. \n\n\nLocation: International Storytelling Center\, Jonesborough\, TN. \n\n\nCost: Generally\, a small donation is suggested at the door to support the Guild’s mission. \n\n\n\n\nPro Tip: Jonesborough takes its storytelling seriously\, but the Guild keeps it accessible. Whether you’re a local or just passing through\, it’s one of the most “authentic” Appalachian experiences you can find without needing to hike a trail.
