Boone, North Carolina
Boone is a town located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina, United States. Boone's population was 17,122 in 2010. Boone is the county seat of Watauga County and the home of Appalachian State University.
The town is named for famous American pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone, and every summer since 1952 has hosted an outdoor amphitheatre drama, Horn in the West, portraying the British settlement of the area during the American Revolutionary War and featuring the contributions of its namesake. It is the largest community and the economic hub of the seven-county region of Western North Carolina known as the High Country.
In 2012, Boone was listed among the 10 best places to retire in the U.S. by U.S. News.
Boone took its name from the famous pioneer and explorer Daniel Boone, who on several occasions camped at a site generally agreed to be within the present city limits. Daniel's nephews, Jesse and Jonathan (sons of brother Israel Boone), were members of the town's first church, Three Forks Baptist, still in existence today.
Boone was served by the narrow gauge East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad (nicknamed Tweetsie) until the flood of 1940. The flood washed away much of the tracks and it was decided not to replace them.
Boone is the home of Appalachian State University, a constituent member of the University of North Carolina.
Appalachian State is the sixth largest university in the seventeen-campus system.
Caldwell Community College & Technical Institute also operates a satellite campus in Boone.

The American people must make a fundamental decision. Do we continue the 40-year decline of our middle class and the growing gap between the very rich and everyone else, or do we fight for a progressive economic agenda that creates jobs, raises wages, protects the environment and provides health care for all? Are we prepared to take on the enormous economic and political power of the billionaire class, or do we continue to slide into economic and political oligarchy? These are the most important questions of our time, and how we answer them will determine the future of our country.

Slave Horn | A History of Kentucky in 25 Objects | KET
A slave horn, made in Kentucky somewhere between the early- to mid-1800s, was used by a plantation owner or overseer to communicate with the entire population. A blow of the horn (in this case, made from red cedar) could indicate the time to wake up or to eat dinner.
Slaves labor built Kentucky with the first European settlers in 1790, by 1850, nearly one out of every four white Kentuckians owned slaves.

Blowing Rock NC Theater History - Producer Director Mark Wilson with Tim Baxter - Summer Season 1994
THEATER HISTORY: The original Blowing Rock Stage Company Founder and Theatre Producer-Director Mark Wilson is interviewed by veteran broadcast personality Tim Baxter. Wilson brought the visionary proposal to start a new tradition of theatre excellence to the town of Blowing Rock, North Carolina in 1986 - a bold professional model in the tradition of Flat Rock Playhouse and the Barter Theatre.
In this video, Mark's outlines in 90 focused seconds the dynamics of targeting the audience, making the mission clear and important personally for the viewer, and providing direction for Blowing Rock theater's meteoric success. His infectious enthusiasm and authoritative positivity was credible and sincere. (But what was he thinking with that mullet hair back in '94? ...Cue the old Magnum PI theme song!)
Mark was a powerful promoter, communicator, salesman, educator and motivator. He articulated the mission of the theater in a manner inclusive of rich and poor, residents and tourists, those who sought art and those seeking just an occasional good-time entertainment. He mobilized the Town of Blowing Rock and appealed to the greater Watauga County and Blue Ridge region, embracing and giving ownership to the community at large.
Under Mark's artistic direction and fiscal leadership, the theater proceeded to sell out 6 consecutive seasons, establishing the first union professional theater in northwest North Carolina, rapidly growing a reputation for the newest, best and newly-developing shows, Off-Broadway style. By 1989, Wilson was appealing to his audiences in his popular nightly curtain speeches the instability and at-risk community status of being an orphaned company as temporary summer theatre residents of Blowing Rock's school auditorium.
From the first season in 1986, Mark understood that casting professional actors made the difference in his success. These artists made a full-time career commitment to perfecting their work. They were not locals, students, academics or marginally talented entertainers, and the Blowing Rock audiences appreciated and embraced this bold initiative for distinctive excellence. In fact, audiences expected it.
We understand where you're headed - stay on track and we will support this, said one committed patron during the inaugural 1986 run. We have plenty of community and college theatre choices here already.
Within three years, Mark adopted a union contract, gaining access to the nation's greatest resource of top-level professional talent, bringing a meager but dignified personnel wage, and more importantly: retirement and health benefits to adult professionals. Within the the theater's first decade, Blowing Rock summer theatre became a reputable and cherished destination in the New York professional network.
The Blowing Rock Stage Company produced 24 consecutive seasons, establishing the regional standard for professional excellence AND providing the seminal inspiration for Blowing Rock North Carolina's lavish permanent performing arts center.
Tim Baxter, veteran broadcaster and local personality, conducted this 15 year old VHS interview for local cable promotion. He was easy-going, and easy to talk to, bringing the best out of his varied community guests, and he was a generous promoter of all community events.
Tim was an enthusiastic supporter of this theater, and a driving force for the broader tourism economy of Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock. He was a huge factor in bringing community information to the year-round residents of the region, and a vital force in making the Blowing Rock theater project a success.
Tim remains an asset in the hearts of the Boone Blue Ridge Mountain community today with Baxter Mountain Properties.
