**Remember, that Cashiers is located in a DRY COUNTY and you are not able to purchase alcohol at restaurants or in retail stores. You are allowed to Brown Bag (bring your own) alcohol at most restaurants. You may want to purchase any alcohol before you get to Cashiers. The “last chances” for alcohol retail sales are in Walhalla, SC coming from the South, Brevard coming from the East, Sylva coming from the North, and Highlands coming from the West.**
WEATHER
April weather in Cashiers (elevation 3400’) can be a daily surprise, ranging from cool temperatures (30-40 degrees F.) at night, to warm temperatures (60-80 degrees F.) during the day. We recommend being prepared for both, and bringing a raincoat and umbrella. With that said, please dress comfortably for the wedding ceremony and reception, as both will be held outside.
ACTIVITIES
Hiking
The beauty of Southern Appalachia is on display in Cashiers with beautiful waterfalls, rock face mountains, and long range vistas. Being surrounded by National Forest land, Cashiers has numerous trails discovering all of these natural wonders. Visit The Highland Hiker at the crossroads to get ideas about where to hike, based on your skill level and time restraints.

**Chad will be leading a group hike up Chimneytop Mountain (where Holly said “yes”) on Saturday morning. Ask Chad on Friday night for more information.**

Golf
Cashiers is a golfing mecca. However, most of the golf courses in the area are private. High Hampton (828-743-2450), Sapphire Mountain (828-743-1174), and Red Bird Golf Links (828-743-1991) are open to the public.

Shopping
There are numerous shops and antique stores in Cashiers and even more in Highlands (approximately 20 minutes west on Highway 64).
