Clubhouse
The Cherry Mountain Fire Department Auxiliary Club has a few cookbooks for sale. At $10.00 each the cookbooks have been a great fund raiser for the Auxiliary and all of the recipes in the book were shared by members of the community. "Recipes to the Rescue" is the Cherry Mountain Fire Department's first cookbook and we've almost sold out. If you want one, call Karen or any of the auxiliary members.

Gold
________________________________________________________
Twenty Years before the California gold rush, the Valley rang with the sounds of hammers, picks, and water blasters. This marked the beginning of the first placer mining on US soil. Whitesides, was inundated with prospectors and miners. Gold production was in full swing. North Carolina Gold
Other than the Bechtler's Mint there's scarcely any mention of the gold rush that swept through the foothills of Western North Carolina in gold articles that use the US Geological Survey. However, records show that Gold was found in Rutherford County in 1828 at about the same time gold was found at the Reed Mine near Charlotte.
