SUMMARY:Fayetteville's Gnomevember
DESCRIPTION:The Gnomes Are Taking Over Fayetteville This Gnomevember! \n \nGet ready\, because something magical is happening in Fayetteville this November. The town is about to be overrun by gnomes! From November 1st to 30th\, Fayetteville transforms into a whimsical wonderland as gnomes of all shapes and sizes take up residence all over town. It’s time to grab your gnome hunting gear and set out on a Gnomevember Scavenger Hunt—a month-long adventure that’s fun for all ages! \nHow It Works: \nStop by the Fayetteville Visitor Center to pick up your official gnome tracking sheet\, then head out into town to see how many gnomes you can find. These mischievous little creatures will be hiding in shops\, restaurants\, and all-around town\, just waiting for you to discover them. Keep your eyes sharp—some gnomes come with special surprises! Bonus gnomes will appear throughout the month\, offering extra prizes and treats for lucky gnome hunters. \nAt the end of your gnome-tracking adventure\, return your completed sheet to the Visitor Center for a small prize. If you’re hunting after hours\, no worries! You can drop off your sheet in our special after-hours box\, and we’ll mail your prize. Plus\, don’t forget to follow us on Facebook for clues to special gnome locations and updates throughout the month. \nGnome Quest: \nIf you want to up the challenge participate in Gilby’s gnome quest across Fayetteville! Pick up a quest scroll at the Fayetteville Visitor Center to reveal your first clue. This journey will take you around historic landmarks and in and out of businesses\, so it is best to join the hunt on Thursdays- Sunday when most shops in town are open. \nIn the heart of Fayetteville\, where hills hold secrets and forests hum with ancient magic\, lives a gnome named Gibly. Like all gnomes\, Gibly was drawn to the beauty of nature and cherished the age-old folklore that bound the people and creatures of Fayetteville to the land. He had heard tales of a mystical relic called the Heart of the Hills\, a hidden gem of pure magic\, said to bring vitality and protection to the land and its people. But recently\, the heart had gone missing\, and Gibly felt a calling deep within his soul to restore it to Fayetteville. \nWith a knowing glance from the elder gnomes\, Gibly was off on his adventure\, following clues hidden throughout town to gather pieces of the Heart’s power. Join Gibly and help him on his quest to find the Heart of the Hills. Please do not move the gnomes or clues. The last clue will take you to your finishing spot where you can claim a small prize. \nEnchanted Roots:  \nYou might be wondering\, why gnomes? Why Fayetteville? Well\, believe it or not\, Fayetteville has an unusually high population of gnomes. These little magical beings have found their home nestled in our town’s woodsy landscapes\, charming gardens\, and creative community. Whether it’s the quiet forests that surround us or the quirky spirit of our residents\, Fayetteville has become a haven for gnomes over the years. \nBut it’s not just the natural beauty that draws them in. Fayetteville is home to several resident gnome makers\, talented artisans who craft unique art. These gnome makers bring their own magical touch to our town. \nGnomevember was born out of our town’s love of embracing the weird and woodsy. We’re a place where the extraordinary and whimsical are celebrated\, where creativity flows as freely as the New River. In Fayetteville\, we love leaning into the quirky side of life. Hosting a gnome scavenger hunt is a natural fit—a fun\, family-friendly event that brings together our sense of community\, love for the outdoors\, and appreciation for all things magical. Not to mention\, Fayetteville is surrounded by lush forests and hidden nooks\, the perfect playground for gnomes to hide out and for visitors to explore. \nWhile gnomes are often associated with European mythology\, their playful\, nature-loving spirits have found a perfect home in the rich folklore of Appalachia. Much like the forest-dwelling\, mischievous beings of local Appalachian legend of fair folk—gnomes are said to be protectors of the land\, keepers of hidden treasures\, and guardians of the woods. In fact\, there’s long been talk among the locals of Fayetteville about secretive\, magical creatures that roam our Appalachian hills\, and perhaps some of those creatures have taken the form of gnomes over time. \nGnomevember celebrates this blend of folklore\, tradition\, and whimsy\, bringing together the age-old Appalachian reverence for nature with the modern love of all things quirky and magical. The gnomes have settled here because\, much like the people of Appalachia\, they value community\, resilience\, and a deep connection to the land. So\, when you’re hunting for Fayetteville’s gnomes\, remember that you’re not just chasing after cute figurines—you’re tapping into centuries of folklore\, where the natural world is alive with unseen magic and adventure. \nGnomevember’s Grand Finale: \nThe excitement builds as we approach the end of the month. We’ll hide a special gnome that comes with instructions to claim the Gnomevember Grand Prize! Will you be the one to find it? Stay tuned for details and clues! \nHelp Us Grow Our Gnome Family: \nSadly\, every year\, some of our beloved gnomes go missing\, and we need your help to rebuild our gnome stockpile! Gnomes also just tend to wander.  If you have any extra gnomes at home that you’d like to donate\, we’d love to add them to our scavenger hunt. You can drop off your gnomes at the Fayetteville Visitor Center from now through November 1st. Every gnome is appreciated! \n

The American Academy of Ophthalmology highlights the risk of serious eye injuries from pickleball due to the sport’s fast-paced nature and hard plastic balls. To reduce this risk\, players are advised to wear protective eyewear made of polycarbonate material\, which offers both front and side protection. Wrap-around goggles are particularly effective in safeguarding against potential injuries . While not currently mandated\, incorporating protective eyewear into your pickleball gear is a proactive step towards ensuring a safe and enjoyable playing experience. \n1. Pre-register for every time you want to join us for play (email me for help with this) \n2. Check in with the Community Captain on duty. It will be Ed\, or Beth\, or Greg\, or Jacki for the most part. Please don’t just go over to a court and start playing before doing this as well as number 3 on the list. \n3. Go to the whiteboard\, and sign up for a court. This whiteboard is on the table behind the courts. We used this instead of paddle stacking to keep games moving and it worked very well. If you weren’t with us last week\, not to worry\, it is not hard and many of the participants who came will be ready to help you out. When players are waiting\, it will be four on/four off\, so come back to the whiteboard to get back into the rotation after finishing a game. \n4. We will have a designated beginner court set up on either Court 1 or Court 4.  Please volunteer to work with any beginners until they are ready to rotate with the group.
