🌸 **Spring Fling 2026 is almost here—and we need YOU!** 🌸

This is more than just a fun day in downtown Andrews—it’s part of how we work together to build a thriving future for our town.

We have 56 volunteer spots available, with 3–3.5 hour shifts, so you can lend a hand *and* still have time to enjoy the festival!

🎉 It’s going to be a great day full of energy, connection, and community—but we truly can’t do it without you.

This is your chance to show up, meet neighbors, and be part of something bigger. We’re building momentum together—and we’re so glad you’re part of it 💛

🌄 Big things are happening in Andrews!

After a couple months of behind-the-scenes work, we’re excited to share some news:

The Town of Andrews is partnering with the NC Department of Commerce’s Office of Rural Planning to create a **community-driven Economic Development Plan** over the next 10 months.

This is a huge step forward—and we'll use Andrews Vision to build momentum and channel community input into the planning process.

Earlier this spring, a group of local leaders and volunteers visited **West Jefferson** to learn how they revitalized their downtown. We came back inspired and ready to get to work 💪

You may have noticed we paused Action Team meetings—now we’re getting ready to restart with fresh energy and a clear direction!

✨ Coming soon:
• More ways to get involved
• Support for local businesses
• Volunteer opportunities for events
• Chances to help shape the future of Andrews

This is just the beginning—and we’re so glad you’re part of it.
