Toad Hollow South

Toad Hollow South?

Having fled the northeast under Cover of Darkness and Covid - the “Toad” has landed in North Carolina.

Sadly The Terrier Races fell victim to quarantine for three long years. With no real plans we started a covid project - rehabilitating a property on land held in Ed’s family since the early 1800’s, in the northwestern mountains of NC.

We acquired the approximately 32 acres (soon to expand to about 50), including a weekend cabin then set about revitalizing what we imagined would become a vacation spot.

We’ll it’s now a full time residence, something never intended to be, and we’re contemplating what the future might hold - We’re pleased to invite everyone back for the second annual ToadFest - please join us and help us envision the future.

TOADFEST 2024

In loving memory of our Jake Blues (2020-2023) with his “Brother from a different Mother” Elwood Blues “We’re putting the band back together” for Toadfest 2024 and a special birthday celebration. Meet our newest addition Delores del Ruby (Della) who’ll be here to win your heart.

We’re blessed to be in a lovely area to visit with lots to see and do, just remember , as always, if you hear banjos - paddle faster.

The division of Shameless Self Promotion informs me that early arrivals are commencing June 26th and Festival Day/Birthday itself will be June 29. Festival details will evolve over the weeks ahead and we’ll try to have updates, lots of area resources and links here so check back periodically. Week long calendar of events is found here.

Our Sub-Contractors

Lots to be done in preparation and sadly we’re down two subs. After fifteen amazing, loving, and dedicated years we lost Jackson and an all too short 2 1/2 years with Jake. Sad, but what rich lives to celebrate - and we will! Well Elwood has a baby sister and we’re always on a Mission from Dog. The cows are all down the street now but we do have Toads aplenty, not to mention bear, turkey, racoon, deer and “cousins” - of the down home variety.
