    2025/11/28
    Cold Black Friday in the mountainsCherokee County and the far western North Carolina mountains woke up to a cold, clear Black Friday morning, with temperatures in the twenties at sunrise and highs only reaching the low forties under sunny skies. Another dip below freezing is expected tonight, so anyone heading to parades, ball games, or Christmas lights will want winter layers once the sun goes down.* Clear, cold start with morning lows in the twenties and highs around the low forties.* Skies stay mostly sunny through the afternoon with a sharp cooldown after dark.* Good travel weather for shopping, parades, and light displays, but bundle up for evening events.Sources:* https://www.weather.gov* https://forecast.weather.govNews as of: November 28, 2025Shop Small Weekend and Downtown Dollars in MurphyDowntown Murphy is turning Black Friday and Small Business Saturday into a Shop Small Weekend celebration built around the Downtown Dollars promotion. Shoppers who spend fifty dollars at participating locally owned shops, galleries, or restaurants earn a ten dollar Downtown Dollars coupon they can use later at those same downtown businesses, rewarding people for keeping their holiday money on the square instead of sending it to big box stores or online retailers.* Shop Small Weekend runs Friday, November 28 through Saturday, November 29 in downtown Murphy.* Spend fifty dollars at participating retailers and earn ten dollars in Downtown Dollars to spend later at local businesses.* The promotion is part of the broader Murphy Mountain Christmas season, which highlights downtown shops, the art center, and more.Sources:* https://www.townofmurphync.com/main-street-murphy/page/shop-small-weekend* https://www.townofmurphync.com/main-street-murphy/page/murphy-mountain-christmas* https://www.facebook.com/downtownmurphync/posts/1220121323498586* https://www.facebook.com/cherokeecountync/posts/1264560505713021News as of: November 28, 2025Regional holiday lights and parades in Blue Ridge and HighuhwahseeWithin about an hour of Murphy, families can step into some of the biggest small-town holiday events in the region. In Blue Ridge, Georgia, the Light Up Blue Ridge and Christmas Parade weekend brings Blue Friday shopping, live music, food vendors, and an evening parade capped by the lighting of the downtown Christmas tree. Over in Highuhwahsee, the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds have switched on Mountain Country Christmas in Lights, transforming the fairgrounds into a glowing Christmas village with displays, music, vendors, and visits with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the Grinch on select nights through December 23.* Light Up Blue Ridge and the Christmas parade run November 28–29 in downtown Blue Ridge with shopping, music, an evening parade, and a tree lighting.* Mountain Country Christmas in Lights at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds in Highuhwahsee runs most nights from November 27 through December 23, opening around 6 p.m.* Both are easy, drivable outings from Murphy, Hayesville, Blairsville, and surrounding mountain communities.Sources:* https://www.blueridgemountains.com/events/annual-events/light-up-blue-ridge* https://blueridgecountry.com/events/light-up-blue-ridge-christmas-parade-2025* https://georgiamountainfairgrounds.com/localevents/christmas* https://georgiamountainfairgrounds.com/pageserver/christmas-infoNews as of: November 28, 2025Search for missing hiker Charles Hosch paused but not overIn Union County, Georgia, authorities have paused their intensive ground search for missing hiker and law professor Charles Hosch but stress that the case is not over. Hosch, a sixty-seven-year-old Dallas attorney and adjunct law professor, disappeared on Veterans Day after a solo hike on the Byron Herbert Reece Trail near Blood Mountain. His vehicle was found at the trailhead, and witnesses reported seeing him descending from the summit, but he never returned and has not answered his phone, which family members say is unlike him.* Search teams have spent nearly two weeks using helicopters, drones, K-9 teams, and large ground crews to cover steep, rugged terrain around Blood Mountain.* Union County officials say most target areas have now been thoroughly searched and daily field operations are being scaled back while they wait for new information or leads.* Hikers, hunters, and cabin owners are being asked to review trail and game camera footage and contact authorities with any possible clues.Sources:* https://nowhabersham.com/missing-hiker-search-underway-in-union-county* https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/formal-searching-professor-missing-from-blood-mountain-ends* https://people.com/missing-law-professor-who-disappeared-on-holiday-hike-still-hasnt-been-found-and-search-was-just-suspended-11856734* https://cbsaustin.com/news/nation-world/family-clings-to-hope-as-search-for-missing-hiker-charles-hosch-suspended-in-georgia-hike-byron-herbert-reece-trail-blood-mountain-union-county-sheriffs-office-law-professor-clues-evidenceNews ...
