Wool Worm Festival, Flag Elk
Known as the “North Carolina Official Wool Festival,” the Flag Elk Wool Festival is an exciting 2-day event that brings thousands of customers to Flag Elk each year.
The wool worm festival celebrates the 44-year-old tradition in a friendly and fuzzy competition. As you slide to the top of a LENGTH string, fans bet on tiny bugs. The winning worm predicts the coming winter weather.
These tiny creatures enter the winter and outnumber the winter. Some worms are known to survive for up to 14 winters. They produce chemicals that keep their bodies strong and free of side effects.
Jim Morton, co-founder of the wool worm festival, first learned about the worm in 1973. He spent the first autumn in that area. Interest in local mythology has laid the foundation for the theory that wool worms can predict the weather. Legend has it that 13 parts of a wool worm are related to 13 weeks of winter. Black parts are said to indicate severe weather, while orange or brown parts are said to indicate mild weather.
But Morton disagreed as to which wool worm, some more orange than black, some black around it. Morton saw a grasshopper gleaming, and the idea of competing with worms came along.
Flag was sent by Elk, Morton and a group of merchants for the annual event. In 1978, he founded the Wool Worm Festival Association. Forty-four years later, the wool worm festival was held for the same reasons and paid for the practice at the same time. Tradition.
This year’s celebration will begin at 9:00 a.m. on October 16-17 at 185 Azelia Club, Banner Elk High School. Wool worm competitions begin at 10 a.m. The winning worm was announced on Saturday.
Fans are encouraged to enjoy more than 170 vendors, as well as music and dance, and carnival rides, food and crafts.
Admission to the festival is $ 6 for adults, $ 4 for children ages six and 12, and free for children 5 and under. All proceeds from the festival will be donated to the community to promote schools, children’s programs, and to promote business and tourism in Avery County.
