At 3PM on December 17, 2009, the incredible and talented students of Professor Chad Everhart's Senior Architecture Studio at Appalachian State University delivered and set up the 3-piece mobile stage, including separate concession and storage units, that they designed and built over the course of the fall semester. This stage was funded by the The Mast General Store, the Mast family, The Mast Farm Inn, and the Valle Crucis community. We invite all of you to stop by the park (if you can get through the snow!) and check out this incredible project! A concert will be held in the Spring to formally dedicate the structure and recognize the students and contributors to the project.

Valle Crucis Community Park is pleased to announce that on Thursday, December 17th at 3:00pm we will gather to celebrate the arrival of our newest amenity: a mobile performance stage to honor the late HW Mast. The stage was designed and constructed by students in Appalachian State University’s Senior Architecture Studio. The students spent countless hours designing a stage that represents the spirit of Mr. Mast and the Valle Crucis Community. For the last several weeks, they have worked round the clock to complete construction. We invite you all to come to the park on Thursday afternoon to see the stage and to congratulate the students on a job well done.
