Isn't it a dry county?

Avery County is not, legally, a dry county; it is, in effect, because there is nowhere to buy liquor in the county (yet), but the same legal regulations do not apply.

If any of you happen to know Samuel Machado, the North Carolina Regent for Clan Douglas which convenes at Grandfather, he was involved in a car accident a couple days ago; he suffered a major concussion, and won't be able to attend this year. Clan Douglas will still be at the Games (I may actually be filling in for him), but please keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers from this accident.

It used to be a dry county, but all that means is you can't sell alcohol. Being dry doesn't prohibit consumption.

But this year they're going to have a beer tent at the games, and a whisky tent.
