As the leaves begin to show their magical fall colors, thousands of visitors will make their way to the High Country over the next several weeks to experience the beauty of autumn in the mountains.

One of the staple events that brings people to our area is the Valle Country Fair. On this week's episode of Mind Your Business, we hear from co-chairs John & Tracey Heiss about this year's event schedule and the impact the Fair has on our local community. We'll hear details on the artists scheduled to attend, the foods we can experience, and the changes to traffic patterns that have helped make entry to the Fair more expedient than ever before. 

Proceeds from this annual event are reinvested in various High Country-based non-profit businesses, and we'll hear about specific plans for that investment along with ways our community can help volunteer throughout next week to ensure the Fair goes off without a hitch.

Mind Your Business is produced each week by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. The show airs each Thursday at 10:05AM on WATA radio (96.5FM/1450AM).

The podcast version of the program is made possible thanks to the support of Appalachian Commercial Real Estate.
