This bell, now a relic of the past, once served a crucial role in the daily lives of Weaverville's residents. It heralded the arrival of the trolley from Asheville, giving people ample time to reach the station, situated roughly where the Weaverville Laundry stands today. North Buncombe won a 2-1 thriller at Enka last week, to win the Mountain Athletic Conference’s number one seeding for 3A softball playoffs that start this week. There are many meaningful ways to show your love and appreciation of your Mother on Mother's Day.
