we

two
guests
from
Brooklyn
County's
Recreation

and
Max

Dixon
park,
ranger

We
understand
the
holidays
are
quickly
approaching
and
we
are
at
the
end
of
the
follow
Leaf
season.
However,
we
want
to
inform
the
community
about
some
exciting
upcoming
events
and
various
things
about
Buncombe
County
recreational
service.
Welcome,
Mack
and
Matt.
D
A
C
C
A
Almost
felt
like
when
you're
like
you
were
a
kid
and
you
had
to
like
do
the
globe
and
it's
like.
There
are
seven
continents.
Oh
yeah,
there
are
seven
seas.
Yeah
there
are
six
Lakes
now
you
know
it
almost
feels
like
that.
You
know
so
you're,
basically
repeating
that
that
information
and
making
us
get
a
little
nostalgic
over
here,
but
you
know.
So
what
are
the
operating
hours
of
these
parks.
D
Yeah,
so
all
of
our
parks
open
at
8
A.M
and
they
run
through
till
dark.
So
we
always
kind
of
go
30
minutes
from
Sunset
is
kind
of
how
we
we
decide.
What
dark
is
you
know,
there's
always
those
weird
gray
areas
like
right
now
that
we're
going
into
before
daylight
savings
and
then
when
daylight,
savings
in
the
spring.
Those
two
times
are
are
always
a
little
weird
but
yeah
general
rule
is
8
A.M
to
dark.
D
A
D
A
A
B
C
D
B
A
A
D
D
B
D
D
Big
positive
thing
for
the
the
Native
fish
like
bass,
crappy
brim
stuff-
like
that,
so
it's
been
you've,
seen
a
change
in
the
fishing.
It's
been
cool
to
watch
the
change,
but
it's
been
a
positive
change
for
those
fish,
so
yeah
I
mean
fishing's
been
very
popular.
I
would
say
more
so,
since
the
change
oh.
A
D
But
they,
you
know
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
warmer
water
lakes,
use
them
for
grass
control,
oh
okay,
and
so
they
were
brought
in
years
ago.
Before
any
of
us
were
here
so
yeah,
it's
it's
been
a
it's
been
a
weird
like
I
said
it's
been
weird
to
watch
it,
but
it's
been
cool
to
see
how
you
know.
Nature
finds
a
way
as
Jurassic
Park
would
say.
A
D
Of
this,
all
the
limits
are
just
through
National
NC
Wildlife.
So
whatever
game
Fish,
you
know
if
you
catch
bass,
I
can't
remember
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
you
can
just
look
them
up
on
NC
wildlife.org
and
it's
got
all
of
those
limits
on
there
and
the
only
thing
that
is
stocked
in
the
lake
right
currently
are
channel
catfish.
B
C
A
A
There
are
no
chickens
there.
Okay,
no
chickens,
no
chickens,
just
ducks
and
geese,
but
do
we
like?
Were
they
brought
there
because
I
know
that,
like
in
the
90s
that
the
what
we
have
now
look
completely
different
than
what
we
had
in
the
90s
I'm
just
trying
to
get
all
the
animal
wear
together?
So
like?
Oh,
it's
just
like
population
change
or
just.
D
Yeah,
so
there's
definitely
I
wouldn't
say.
Definitely,
there's
been
allegedly
have
been,
some
some
waterfowl
have
been
dropped
off,
especially
at
Lake,
Julian,
I,
know,
I,
don't
know,
we've
seen
there's
a
couple.
There's
a
couple
of
species
like
there's
an
Egyptian
goose
that
like
join
that
you'll
see
they
look
like
they
have
like
Cleopatra's
makeup
on.
D
D
Yeah
and
people
that
come
for
our
birding
tours
they,
you
know
they
are
so
excited
to
see
those
because
you
don't
see
them,
but
it's
yeah.
So
there
are
ones
that
are
dropped
off
and
then
they're
nature
finds
a
way
things
they
get
together
and
sometimes
some
geese
that
that
would
naturally
look
the
way
they
yeah.
There's.
There's
some
there's
some
mingling.
A
A
A
C
D
D
D
A
B
C
A
C
So
once
you
once
you
come
into
the
park,
we'll
have
them.
They
should
be
right
there
right
when
you
drive
in
easy,
easy
to
read
and
there's
also
going
to
be
some
QR
codes
on
there
and
that
will
take
you
to
a
different
site
for
if
you
speak,
another
language,
which
is
a
new
thing
that
we're
doing
for
these
ordinate
science,
which
I
think
is
really
cool.
B
C
B
D
D
They
needed
they
needed,
they
needed
some
revamping,
so
we
were
really
excited
about
getting
those
20..
That's
a
funny
story.
For
another
day
we
got
them
delivered
with
some
assembly
required.
Oh
my
God,
so
me,
mac
and
all
the
guys
at
the
lake
turned
every
bolt
on
every
one
of
those.
So
definitely
not
some.
D
Told
them
it'll
be
it's
just
a
few
pieces,
but
so
that
was
the
biggest
update.
Recently
we
got
a
lot
of
our
shelters
where
we
done
one.
We
didn't
have
enough
to
really
tear
them
down
and
rebuild
them,
but
we've
revamped
those
and
we're
looking
to
add
new
picnic
tables
in
the
coming
year
in
the
shelters
and
new
grills
for
the
shelters.
So.
A
C
D
Unofficially,
we've
had
a
lot
of
people
bring
their
own
like
if
they
were
to.
You
know
like
if
they're
having
a
family
reunion
and
they
want
to
have
a
smoker
or
something
a
lot
of
people
will
bring
a
smoker,
because
we
don't.
We
just
have
those
open,
grills,
so
yeah
I
mean,
as
long
I
would
say,
I
would
say
in
with
it
with
a
shelter
rental.
If
you,
if
you.
A
D
Our
big
one
for
the
winner
we're
currently
setting
up
the
lights
right
now.
You
know
so
that
that'll
run
I
mean
we
can
get
into
the
dates
now.
I,
don't
know,
yeah
go
ahead,
so
we
we'll
have
a
public
walk
through
on
December,
2nd
and
3rd,
and
then
the
first
drive-through
night
will
start
on
the
fourth,
and
we
will
we'll
run
that
through
the
23rd
of
December,
for
the
walk
through
nights.
D
D
Come
out
yeah,
so
it's
we
light
up.
Lake
Julian
with
a
bunch
of
micsters
I,
think
there's
probably
around
50
big
light
fixtures.
We
have
Plus
thousands
and
thousands
of
feet
of
bulbs
that
we
put
up
around
trees
and
everywhere
so
you'll
come
in
and
you'll
see.
You
know
a
wide
array
of
Holiday
Lights.
D
A
C
D
There's
there's
a
couple
that
you
can
see:
there's
a
like
a
gingerbread
house,
there's
a
cup
there's
a
fishing
Santa
Claus,
those
those
are
old
yeah
if
you
see
them
during
the
day
and
you
put
them
up
you're
like
yeah
that
one's
been
here
for
a
while.
You
don't
see
it
at
night.
They
all
light
up.
They.
A
D
D
D
A
A
A
D
A
little
different
from
what
you'll
experience
experience
for
the
public
nights,
we'll
have
I,
say
public
nights
because
we
have
a.
We
have
an
employee
night
that
we
treat
for
the
Buncombe
County
Employees,
they
all
come
and
we
kind
of
treat
that
as
a
dress
rehearsal
on
our
end
of
you
know,
being
able
to
run
around
and
check
everything.
C
D
Do
your
own
s'mores
and
then
we'll
have
crafts
up
in
shelter
too,
so
we'll
probably
be
like
decorating
your
own
ornaments,
that's
cool,
yeah
and
we'll
have
the
leaf
the
leaf
fan
we'll
be
there
as
well
doing
their
own
crafts.
So
it's
a
fun
event
to
get
in
there
and
really
walk
around
I
would
say
on
the
walk
through
nights.
Just
try
to
stay
on
the
asphalt
path.
We
did
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
guide,
wires
and
stuff
like
that.
So.
D
D
D
A
B
C
A
A
D
And
just
a
better
thing
to
touch
on
with
those
Special
Olympics.
Another
thing
we're
really
happy
about
the
professional
lights
is
that
we
donate
20
of
all
of
the
money
from
the
festival
lives
straight
to
Buncombe,
County
Special
Olympics.
So
that
means
that's
something
that
we
don't
mention,
because
it's
just
daily
for
us,
but
it's
a
it's
a
big
deal.
You
know
people
if
you
know,
if
you're
coming
out,
you
know,
20
of
that
money
is
going
to
a
really
good.
A
A
A
So
you
all
got
that
and
if
you
have
a
teenager
that'll
help
you
guide
you
through
those
things
I
advise
you
to
grab
them,
because
if
you're
anything
like
me,
you're
gonna,
you're
gonna
run
Google
crazy.
So
so
Eric
you
tell
you
something:
can
you
call
over
the
price
just
one
more
time,
so
we
can
make
sure
yeah.
D
C
C
B
A
A
No,
no,
let's
not
give
you
you
say:
hey
we're
going
to
bear
wolf
range.
It
just
doesn't
sound
safe
No,
but
these
places
are
very
same
and
they're
very
fine
I'm,
not
a
hiker
I,
don't
like
bugs.
So
my
thing
is
bugs:
are
there
I
respect
their
space?
You
know
if
I'm
in
nature
I'm
in
their
house,
if
I'm
at
my
home,
they're
in
my
house,
so
I
respect,
I
respect
boundaries.
So
also
you
all
had
a
big
thing.
Earlier
this
year
you
had
the
camping.
We.
C
B
C
D
C
C
A
D
A
C
A
D
D
I
would
say,
one
thing
is:
if
you
have
a
question
to
ask:
we've
got
a
lot
of
really
really
passionate
staff
in
our
department.
All
of
us
care
about
the
outdoors.
All
of
us
want
people
to
get
outside,
so
reach
out
talk
to
any
of
us.
If
that's
you
know
one
of
our
seasonal
workers
walking
around
at
Lake,
Julian,
picking
up
trash
or
our
director,
any
of
us
from
from
bottom
up
would
would
happily
answer
any
questions
about
being
outside.
A
B
It
and
sound
just
like
to
remind
everyone
that
Buncombe
County
and
recreational
service.
We
have
six
Parks,
seven
river
parks,
five
pools
and
three
soccer
fields,
so
we
just
want
to
encourage
Community
to
go
out
and
enjoy
nature,
and
these
facilities
brought
to
you
by
Buncombe
County,
and
you
can
find
all
this
information
as
well
as
programs
and
upcoming
events
at
buncombecounty.org
under
recreational
services
so
get
out
and
enjoy
the
community.
A
All
right
listeners
walk
with
me
mentally.
If
you
will,
as
we
wrap
this
day
up,
we
have
just
experienced
two
years
of
covet
and
we
are
starting
to
peek
our
heads
out
of
our
shells
at
this
moment
today.
You
heard
about
amazing
information
about
what
our
county
has.
Well
all
our
parks
and
all
our
different
services
that
you
can.
You
can
get
that
Park
and
the
hiking
and
the
the
boats
and
the
shelters
and
all
those
things
of
paddle
boats
make
sure
you

good
Calves
if
you're
going
to
do
that.
