Day 3 This morning brings another Cavalcade show. Enjoy downtown Asheville after
lunch at a favorite local restaurant. Visit specialty shops downtown. T.S.
Morrison & Co. has been a household name in Asheville for 112 years. The
Morrisons sold feed, seed, tools and other hardware to four generations of local
farmers before the store left their family in 1980. Since then, T.S. Morrison
has evolved into a 6,000 square-foot, old-timey general gift store that's home
to products from over 700 vendors. Mast General Store is a downtown emporium
that has been restored to its 1940s heyday featuring fixtures from the era and
other mementos from the past. In addition to traditional clothing for men and
women, hiking and camping gear, boots and casual footwear, Mast's signature
items can be found in the Mercantile Department, which is just jam-packed with
cast iron cookware, pottery, baskets and other crafts, old fashioned toys, and a
candy section featuring over 500 old-fashioned hard-to-find candies. Dinner is
on your own before the finale of this year’s Cavalcade of Comedy. Meals:
