About
What is MyWeaverville.com?
MyWeaverville.com is a website devoted to what’s happening only in Weaverville, North Carolina. Whether it’s a sale at your favorite Weaverville store, an arts festival on Main Street, or a fundraiser for a local organization, MyWeaverville.com is here to let you know about it.
Why does Weaverville deserve its own website?
I’d ask just the opposite: why don’t we deserve our own site? We may be small, but there’s a lot going on here.
Who’s Behind the Curtain?
That would be me, Anne-Marie (aka AM). I’ve been a Weaverville resident since 2002 and I’ve called Western North Carolina home since I was 6 years old. Some of you may know me as one of Blue Mountain Pizza’s 100,000th customers.
Why did you start MyWeaverville.com?
For two reasons:
- Because I truly believe we deserve to be more than just a “surrounding area” of Asheville.
- Because it’s nearly impossible to find out everything that’s happening in Weaverville without searching through listing after listing of what’s happening in Asheville, Black Mountain, Waynesville, etc. If I want to go out on a Friday night, I’d like to see what’s happening in Weaverville first.
Do you work for the Town of Weaverville?
No, I work only for myself.
Are you affiliated with the Weaverville Tribune?
No, the Weaverville Tribune and MyWeaverville.com are two separate publications. We are not run by or affiliated with each other, nor do we privately share information or sources.
Do people pay to have announcements or events placed on the website?
No, the only paid advertising is in the right-hand sidebar. I think if I charge to have businesses or organizations list their news and events, I’ll only get part of the story. I want to be able to provide you with everything that’s going on in town. If you’re interested in supporting MyWeaverville.com and advertising your business, check out the Advertise page.
Can I advertise my yard sale?
As of July 2008 I will include yard sale information on the Calendar. To have your sale included in our list, please e-mail your yard sale location, day(s) and hour(s), and a short description to myweaverville@gmail.com. Information is due at least 3 days prior to the sale date. Sorry, phone call submissions will not be accepted.
How do I submit my news and events to MyWeaverville.com?
Submit your information to myweaverville@gmail.com. Be sure it meets the following rules:
- Submitted items must be in or about Weaverville or a Weaverville resident
- Events must be open to the general public
- To be included on the Links Directory, you must have a professional website or a myweaverville.com Business/Event page. Your business must also either be in Weaverville or service the Weaverville area.
- Anything which condones illegal activities, violence, terrorism, or discrimination will not be published
- Anything which is or too closely resembles a pyramid scheme will not be published.
Please note we do not have an editorial/opinion page. If you want to have your opinion on a certain issue published, you can leave a comment on any published item (see policy below), or you can contact the Weaverville Tribune. It should also be noted that I am not a reporter and will not be covering events. Again, the Tribune is your source for that information.
Comment Policy
Feel free to add your two cents on any of our articles by clicking “Leave a Comment” at the end of any item.
I reserve the right to edit or disallow comments, just as a newspaper editorial page is selective about the letters it publishes. Comments should add information or add to an ongoing debate, remain civil, be free of inappropriate language and avoid personal attacks. Comments are moderated to ensure the above rules are followed, and registration is required to alleviate spam and unsolicited advertising. Please note your real name is NOT required for registration.
Are you going to send me spam?
No, I hate spam so I would never consider sending it myself. Any time you provide any kind of contact information on this site, it is for the express purpose listed only. For example, if you submit your name and e-mail address for one of our contests, you will only hear from me if you’re the winner. If you register on the site so you can leave comments, you’ll only hear from me if you’re not following the rules (stated in the Comment Policy above).
That said, if you ever get what you consider to be a spam message from MyWeaverville, PLEASE let me know about it so I can find out why it’s happening. Thanks.
