No attachments or pictures (links are fine) -- please put all the relevant text in the body of your e-mail so I can copy and paste.
Extra points if you put your listing in the well-established Celo List format (see any listing below), including your name and preferred contact information at the top.
Please limit listings to activities/stuff in Yancey and Mitchell. Political events and announcements are fine but not political rants. Real estate listings from property owner only. The Celo List is currently going to 3,000 subscribers, mostly in Yancey and Mitchell. Unsubscribe link is at the bottom.
Needless to say, a listing here does not constitute an endorsement of truthfulness or good character.
The Celo List goes out sometime on Sunday (or Monday) and usually sometime in the middle of the week. If something is more urgent than that, you’ll need to call me as I don’t monitor this inbox.

I love where I live on the South Toe River. My land quest is a heartfelt transition driven by a vision: to cultivate a home for gathering, where people, food, laughter, and love can flourish! A home of 1,000+ square feet will do - on lush land for my furry family and livestock. A spring or creek would be a dream—I love water! Peace, quiet, and sunshine are essential. If you know of a place looking for a dedicated land steward, please reach out. I understand this search could take some time. My heart is in the South Toe Valley.

OK folks, Our first installment failed to unearth anyone who wanted this massive tractor tire. We also want this “Beast” out of here. We are beyond tired of looking at it. So: We have now migrated to the thought of paying someone to get it out of here. Our pickup was destroyed in the hurricane, so we have no way to move this tire. Four of us can get the tire on your pickup, trailer, etc. Hopefully there is someone out there that can help us.
