Winter and Christmas are wonderful times here in Pocahontas County for many reasons. Blankets of snow, snowmobiling on the Highland Scenic Highway, and skiing at Snowshoe Mountain are only a few of them. If you like shopping though, the county has some big surprises.

There is a gem of a find for shoppers in the region. The Pocahontas County Artisans Coop has not only some beautiful pieces but they are marked at incredibly reasonable low prices. I was with a motor coach tour awhile back and we stopped at the Co-op.

The Pocahontas Arts Council offers ceramic and painting classes to the general public.  Check out their Web site to see when the next class is.  http://www.pocahontasarts.org/
