Lake Lure & Chimney Rock Commemorations Ceremony Memories and Special Thanks!
The journey of rebuilding is ongoing, but we want to pause to acknowledge the impact of Hurricane Helene and all that we experienced together in Lake Lure and Chimney Rock Village over the past year. This ceremony paid tribute to the lives affected by the storm, reflected on the support we have received from so many, and rejoiced in the progress that has been made in the past year.
We are deeply grateful for all the support we have received.
Special Thanks!
The Town of Lake Lure & Chimney Rock Village would like to thank each of these organizations (and those listed on the back panel) for their unwavering support of all those in Hickory Nut Gorge following the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
We express our deepest gratitude for helping us overcome and rise above.
