Veterans Visit Free at Wheels Through Time this Weekend!

This coming weekend, the Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC will be honoring our nation’s military by paying tribute to those men and women who have served our country, both past and present.  Throughout the entire weekend, the museum will be offering free admission for all military veterans, as well as both active and non-active members of our nation’s armed forces.

Several times each year, Wheels Through Time proudly recognizes those who have served our great country in various capacities.  These events include numerous free-admission days and weekends throughout the spring, summer, and fall; hosting the annual Haywood County Toy Run on Veterans Day weekend in November; and showcasing its ever-growing Historical Military Motorcycles exhibit during our nation’s birthday on July 4th each year.

Expect to see over a dozen rare military machines at the museum this weekend.  Having just returned from Milwaukee, where it was on loan to the Harley-Davidson museum for their month-long “Harley’s and Hollywood” exhibit, the museum’s 1917 Harley-Davidson messenger pigeon carrier will be on display, and will be fired-up for visitors regularly.  The “Pigeon Carrier” is the world’s only known example and carries with it a unique story dating back to the earliest forms of “wireless communication”.  Decades after its role of providing a means of communication from the front lines of battle to safety behind American lines, the “Pigeon Carrier” was later used in “The Spirit of St. Louis”, the 1957 Oscar-nominated movie starring Jimmie Stewart as Charles Lindberg.  Subsequently owned by the late actor, Steve McQueen, the WWI-era machine was bought in the 1980s by museum curator, Dale Walksler, and has been on display for museum visitors ever since.

Nearly all of the over 300 motorcycles and automobiles housed within the museum are in running and operating condition, and the military machines are no exception.  Running and on display will be machines from both the North-African and European fronts of World War II, as well as the 1918 Harley-Davidson World War I sidecar on which Walksler rode in the 2009 Presidential Inauguration Parade in Washington, DC.

Wheels Through Time Museum, located at 62 Vintage Lane, across from the Fire Station in Maggie Valley, houses hundreds of rare and significant American motorcycles and automobiles set in a fascinating ambience for visitors of all ages to enjoy.  The museum will be open all weekend from 9a.m.-5p.m., and all veterans and military members will receive free admission.  For more information, visit their website, located at www.WheelsThroughTime.com, or call (828) 926-6266.

The snowfall came fast here in Maggie Valley NC.  Arrived back at Realty World-Heritage from Clyde NC at 2:15pm & there was no snow at all..  but the weather was cold.. then at about 3pm, it was white when we had peeked out the windows.  Had to share a video of what accumulated at 3:15pm outside the office.. 

If you’re looking for a new construction home or would like to preview newer homes in Haywood County, NC…  now is your chance.  The Haywood County Home Builders Association has put together 16 homes for you to view beginning today, tomorrow & Sunday from 9am-5pm. Realty World in Maggie Valley has 7 homes listed in the parade out of a total of 16.. We hope you can come join us..

Went to Asheville NC earlier this afternoon & on the way back to the office, the weather was CRAZY..  talk about driving through heavy rain, lightning, thunder, wind & sun just in a 35 minute drive back was eye awakening..  plus there were semi-trucks driving tailgating… not really understanding why.. but they did… I hope mother nature makes up her mind soon as to when this madness will show sunny & brighter days…

When arriving at the office, apparently lightning hit the side of our building knocking out the phone lines.. but at least we still have internet to make sure we still up & running to service clients.. so if you’re curious about the weather, follow us on twitter or facebook.. We give regular updates of what’s happening in Maggie Valley…

Ghost Town in the Sky in Maggie Valley NC needs our HELP!

We received this letter from Ghost Town in the Sky.. Hope you’re able to help!

——————————————————————————————————–

All friends of Maggie Valley and Ghost Town in The Sky,

I can’t thank you all enough for the support and continued emails regarding beautiful Maggie Valley and Ghost Town in The Sky. Today, we passed the final State of NC inspection for our House of Terror and Scenic Train and we are extremely thankful for Jonathan Brooks, Tommy Petty and Preston White of the NC Department of Labor for their continued assistance.

We have invested millions of dollars and thousands of man hours getting Ghost Town back in shape and the NC Department of Labor has been extremely helpful. We are on the verge of getting everything in this park open and operational for the first time since we acquired the park in 2006 and are now one inspection away from that significant milestone. Today at 5pm, we are scheduled to open the House of Terror and the Cliffhanger Roller Coaster to a host of dignitaries and media as well as local elected officials, business owners and those dependent on Ghost Town’s survival. I can’t impress upon everyone enough the critical nature of this inspection to take place today or tomorrow. We are mindful of the stress on the department with current economic conditions and budgetary concerns that face almost every state in the nation.

We realize the inspectors in this region are extremely busy, but need our supporters to call Commissioner Cherie Berry or Andy Frazier asking them to allocate the necessary resources to get this done today or tomorrow. They have the resources in our area to help us but apparently due to budget cuts and being short inspectors in this region, they are not able to get to us.

GT will pay for overtime, if necessary, just to get this done. They must be made to realize that this is essential to our economy and the future of the Park, and the success of this Park means added revenue for the State, and continued employment for Maggie Valley and all of Western North Carolina.

With this in mind, please join us in making the NC Department of Labor understand the extreme need to support the tourism industry here in Maggie Valley and to get the inspection done on our Cliffhanger Coaster. Please contact the following to urge them to do everything possible.

Honorable Cherie K Berry, Commissioner, NCDOL Phone 919-733-7166 Email: cherrie.berry@labor.nc.gov
Andy Frazier, Deputy Commissioner, Standards and Inspections, NCDOL Phone 919-807-2794 Email: andy.frazier@labor.nc.gov
Jonathan Brooks, Elevator & Amusement Device Bureau Chief, NCDOL Phone 919-807-2770 Email: jonathan.brooks@labor.nc.gov

Once again, it has been a significant challenge to get Ghost Town in The Sky back to its former stature as one of the largest economic engines in Western North Carolina. On behalf of our employees, investors and myself, I want to express our heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to all of you that believed in us and continue to make us a success.
As always, if you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, you can email me any time at steve@shiver.com

I hope all of you have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend and we all look forward to seeing you here in Maggie Valley, NC at Ghost Town in The Sky.
Travel Safe, Steve Shiver, President/CEO Ghost Town in The Sky
