Field Day & Spring Fling
I don't know about you, but Field Day was basically one of my top memories of elementary school. If you're like me, you're in luck, because this Saturday, you can relive all of your childhood memories—this time with booze—at the Salvage Station with the folks from the Asheville Sport & Social Club. We talked with the organizers about what to expect. Here's the rest of our weekend update! Where will you be this weekend? What did we miss? Give us a shout!
