Why Raleigh Events?

Imagine scrolling through Facebook the day after the Beckley Honey Festival and seeing all your friends buzzing about the live music, craft vendors, and honey tastings you totally missed. Or hearing about the Fall Festival at the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine – complete with apple butter making and pumpkin painting – only after it's over. Sound familiar? You're not alone.
