The scavenger hunt will run from July 1st through July 18th.
This year in lieu of the traditional Blackberry Festival, the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce is organizing a digitally interactive scavenger hunt! The scavenger hunt app can be downloaded onto either an Apple or an Android smart phone. Individual players and/or teams will follow specified prompts to different attractions, businesses and landmarks in the various townships that comprise Caldwell County. Competitors will earn points for all of the clues and challenges that they complete using the designated app. These points can be obtained through a variety of ways including submitting photos or videos, completing forms, answering multiple choice questions, scanning QR codes, and checking in at certain locations. Participants have the ability to complete the challenges at their own pace - race to finish or take a break and pause the app to spend more time at a specific location. A leaderboard will tally the scores of each individual or team, so you will always know where you stand compared to the other contestants. The five teams or individuals that earn the greatest number of points will be entered to win a multitude of wonderful prizes, including gift certificates, prize packs, and more! The grand prize will consist of a new gas grill valued at $1,000 provided by Blue Ridge Energy and will be awarded to the individual or team that accumulates the most points!
Download the Blackberry Bustle Scavenger Hunt Event today through the “Eventzee” app in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and get registered to join in on the excitement! The event code will be “Blackberry” and the game will be live from July 1st through the 18th. Grab a friend and explore all that Caldwell County has to offer!

There's a New Food Truck in Town! |
|
Career and Technical Education (CTE) is expanding the culinary arts program by introducing the marketing and management of a food truck - the CTeatery Fresh & Fast – which becomes available to the public as early as the first week in September.
“Creating a work-based opportunity for our students is the inspiration for this project,” said Libby Huff, CTE Director. “In addition, we have a commercially licensed kitchen now that will allow us to increase course offerings and introduce a new pathway in culinary arts.”
Students enrolled in the advanced CTE culinary classes will be prepping and preparing the food in the commercially licensed space at West Caldwell High School, or the CTE Culinary Arts Lab. These students will work in alternating teams to operate the food truck, managed by Debra Hadley, CTE Culinary Arts Instructor at West Caldwell High School, who is the licensed instructional supervisor.
CTE received more than 500 suggestions within the school district and the community in response to a recent survey requesting input for naming the food truck and recommending food items. From the feedback, the name CTeatery was borne and the menu developed. On select days of the week, the food truck will sell tacos, pizza, sandwiches (subs, wraps, and burgers) as well as desserts and salads to include homemade popsicles in different locations throughout the county that will be determined.
“Our products will be homemade,” Huff said. “Our focus is fresh, local ingredients.”
For more information on the CTeatery food truck call the CTE office at 828-759-4681 or go to CTeatery.com.
