“Come Hell or High Water: Remembering the Great Flood of 1916”
Film Screening
Friday, February 28th at 6pm
at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial.
After the devastating events in late September of last year, we thought it would be relevant to screen David Weintraub’s documentary
“Come Hell or High Water: Remembering the Great Flood of 1916,” and examine the parallels between now and then.
Join us here at the Memorial for a brief discussion preceding the 50-minute documentary as we highlight the Wolfe family’s memories of the 1916 flood and how it featured in Look Homeward, Angel.
If you’d like to attend, please call the Memorial at 828-253-8304, or email Kayla Seay at
kayla.seay@dncr.nc.gov to reserve a spot. Our capacity for this event is 45.
**This is a free event, however we are accepting cash donations to help upgrade our A/V equipment, and we are also accepting food donations for our friends at 12 Baskets Café with the Asheville Poverty Initiative. If you are able to contribute, 12 Baskets would greatly benefit from the donation of condiments (mayonnaise, barbecue sauce, ketchup, ranch and other salad dressings), shelf stable coffee creamers, and boxed goods like pasta and rice.
