Wooly Worm Festival
If you’re from North Carolina, don’t miss this festival! You can race a worm up a three-foot length of string to predict the severity of the coming winter and this occurs in Banner Elk. Legend has it the segments on the worm correspond to the 13 weeks of winter and the lighter brown a segment is on the winning worm, the milder that week will be. Not buying it? Maybe the $1,000 cash prize will sweeten the deal.
