Murphy, NC Welcome To The Mountains

MARINE CORP LEAGUE WINS FIRST PRIZE IN THE MURPHY NC CHRISTMAS PARADE

MARINE CORP LEAGUE GETS FIRST PRIZE

 

As a Marine Corp Mom, I was honored to help decorate the Marine Corp League float in the annual Murphy NC Christmas Parade on December 4th.

This year's theme was "Hometown Christmas" and the 48 foot float had a banner hanging from the side that said "I'll Be Home Christmas, If Only In My Dreams". The float displayed a living room setting with mother and father sitting on rocking chairs in front of the fireplace. A Marine dressed in his Dress Blues was standing by the front door about to enter the room.

Even though the rain sometimes changed to freezing rain....our hearts were warm and full of Christmas spirit in decorating this float in honor of our military men and women.

           

The reward was First Place, Non-Profit Division Trophy....OOH RAH!!!!!!

Murphy NC is just minutes from trout streams, hiking trails, kayaking or white water rafting through the Nantahala Gorge and Ocoee. You can browse in one of many antique and craft shops or just enjoy the sunset on your own deck in peaceful solitude. You CAN have it all!!!!!

Only 2 hours from Atlanta, Chattanooga and Asheville, Murphy, NC feels like it's from a different time and place. A time when life moved at a slower pace and people savored the simple pleasures.
