The Story behind THE LEGEND HAS IT WEEKEND
In the summer of 2013 when The Learning Center! Charter School began to prepare for the 10th annual Monster Mash Bash, those of us involved, made a commitment to see the next ten years of -Monster Mash history grow into an even greater community -wide entertainment piece. Simultaneously, the Jackie Ward Foundation made the commitment to support a weekend arts entertainment event that would enrich the Murphy, NC area. It was immediately concluded that the annual Learning Center Monster Mash provided the ideal foundation on which to accomplish the Jackie Ward Foundation goal. Jackie Ward board members, working with Barbara Hughes and Jon and Tammy Fleisher, drawing on the rich historical research of the Cherokee County Paranormal Society, moved forward to create the Legend Has It Weekend. On Friday, October 24, 2014, the Legend Has It Weekend will kick-off with a 2 hour Legend Has It Walking Tour of Murphy under the direction of David Vowell working with a talented group of regional actors who will make history and lore come alive. Saturday, night, October 25, 2014, the Learning Center’s annual Monster Mash Bash event will conclude the Legend Has It Weekend. This year’s Monster Mash theme is Harry Potter, including the area-acclaimed Hogwart’s Revisited MAZE , booths, costume contest, bounce houses, cake raffles, and more.
