Cycle North Carolina Cyclists to Stop in Yanceyville
In the twenty-one years since, the Mountains to Coast Ride has traversed the state using a different week-long route each year. The ride has stopped overnight in more than 100 North Carolina towns and passed through over 700 North Carolina communities. The Mountains to Coast Ride is not a race, but a recreational trek across the state using scenic back roads. The ride is designed to promote physical fitness, good health and the scenic beauty of North Carolina.
The cyclists will make a stop in Yanceyville at the Pavilion on day 3 of the tour, October 4. Join in the celebration and support of the athletes. More details to come.

The Museum Store at the North Carolina Museum of Art has expanded the NC-based artists that we work with and we are looking to expand our roster even further and find new collaborators!
To be considered, it’s as simple as filling out this form, where you will be asked to provide photos of your products. The Museum Store is located in the West Building and open from 10 am to 5 pm.
Visitors will be able to view and purchase the items you create, take them home as souvenirs, or give them as gifts. With your beautiful creations, we can give them items they can cherish, and remember the times they had the NCMA. See photo on right of the NCMA store.
