I've been to 2 games this month with my family. We enjoyed great seats, fun times, good ball park food and drinks, easy parking and the entry was about what I would have paid to go see a movie. These players are fun to watch!

Waldensian Trail of Faith

Reviewed By Larry F - Morganton, United States

Spring is the perfect time for a walking tour of the Trail of Faith. I was visiting family and stumbled upon an 11 acre outdoor museum. It is a replica of the Waldensian's journey through Italy. I experienced a very educated and historical tour given by Mr. Tron, an actual descendant of the local community. I enjoyed shopping in the gift shop which had very different and original crafts from local artists. I would recommended this attraction for all ages.

Six Waterpots Vineyard and Winery

Reviewed By Nisoddy - Stoneville, North Carolina

Jim, our host for the afternoon was funny and very informative about the wine selection. The tasting room was in the basement of the business and the set up was great....our first time at a sit-down tasting. Six Waterpots has a wide variety to sample. We really enjoyed the fruit wines and the muscadines.

McGalliard Falls Park

Reviewed By Jim C - Mooresville, North Carolina

My girlfriend and I had been looking online for waterfalls to visit nearby. I'm in Mooresville and she is in Concord North Carolina. McGalliard was about an hour away from her so it wasn't an ordeal to get there. Packed up the camera, some comfortable hiking shoes and a spare in case they got wet, and a sweatshirt since it was only in the low 60's and off we went. Only ones there when we arrived and the falls were a very short walk from the parking lot. A very peaceful serene setting. We just sat for awhile and took it all in. Took some photos and had a relaxing afternoon. Close by and free, cannot argue with that. Not much in the way of hiking. Strictly a park and view experience.

Fantastic playground with the wooki type playground with lots of bridges, climbing walls, rope walks and slides. I take my grandson several afternoons a week after school.

Waldensian Heritage Wines

Reviewed By Gary M - Sevierville, Tennessee

Place looked interesting from the outside but inside was very dated, run down. Smelled musty like an old basement. Wines were your typical way to sweet southern variety even those they called "Dry Reds" were sickeningly sweet. Don't waste your time unless you REALLY like sweet wine.

Old Rock School Railway Museum

Reviewed By Barbara B - Charlotte, North Carolina

Located on the ground floor of the Old Rock School. Lantern and signal light displays. Many photographs on the walls. The best display is the two room model railroad. (Over 800 square feet) Wow! The Piedmont and Western Railroad Club (www.pwrr.org) has volunteers that can answer many questions.
