Read MoreGoldhagen Glass
You can schedule a time to tour his studio and watch from the viewing balcony as he creates, just give him a call to schedule a tour. BUT… I highly recommend his Hot Summer Nights concert series. Get to know locals and visitors as you enjoy live music and truly experience David’s time-honored techniques as he produces bold, vibrant sculptures along the shores of Lake Chatuge.
You’ll definitely want to take home a souvenir so be sure to explore the Goldhagen Gallery during your visit. David’s sculptures, fused glass, ornaments, platters, and all of his creations make a truly one-of-a-kind gift that is sure to be a conversation piece. If you’re traveling, no worries! Goldhagen Art Glass Studio will happily ship your items for you.
The Whole Store
Most impressive is The Whole Store’s wall of bulk herbs and resources to help you make wise decisions regarding your health. Be sure to watch “Backyard Remedies” show on our local Cable TV channel 49 and tune in to WKRK the 1st Thursday of the month at 10:30am with The Whole Store!

Dr. George Gaines of Gaines Concealed Carry has been living here in North Carolina for just over a year, enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery.
