The Sylva Herald

Family


The Sylva Herald is a treasured part of life in Jackson County. It chronicles local events and features local history and lore as well. Although this weekly newspaper is a source of Nineteenth and early Twentieth Century history it’s definitely a Twenty-First Century publication with its online presence. Our long time friend and neighbor, Lynn Hotaling recently retired from her position as editor after thirty-one years on the staff.

Today’s edition features two treats. The front page article details a new discovery in the world of zoology made by a team that includes Lynn & Richard’s son Scott Hotaling, a graduate student at the University of Kentucky. The other is a banner across the front page of one of the sections declaring “The Ebbing Herald” in honor of the movie whose filming has been dominating life in downtown Sylva recently!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Cozumel & Grand Cayman

Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
