Wells and Kathy Greeley of Wells Funeral Homes received
The Rex Feichter Family has been supportive of
downtown revitalization through board
service to the Downtown Waynesville Association
and to the Town of Waynesville.
Rex Feichter served on the DWA Board from 1990
until his passing in 2011. As a real estate developer,
downtown property owner and board member,
Rex had a passion for community planning and
rehabilitating distressed properties.
Wells and Kathy Greeley of
Wells Funeral Homes received
a prestigious award from NC
Commerce Secretary and Assistant
Secretary Dr. Pat Mitchell for Best
Business Retention, Expansion or
Recruitment Effort in the state
during the annual NC Main Street
Awards Banquet for their WELLS
EVENTS & RECEPTION CENTER.
They purchased a vacant building
adjacent to their funeral home downtown and created a beautiful center where people may
celebrate their loved ones with catered meals, parties, receptions, gatherings, meetings and
more. It has quickly become a vital part of our community. DWA Board member Jennifer G.
Jacobson and her husband Ryan, and Event Director, Angie Leatherwood attended the dinner.
Governor Pat McCrory, Commerce Secretary John Skvarla, Cultural Resources Secretary Susan Kluttz, and
As a former Town Alderwoman, now DWA
Board member, his wife Libba
supported numerous projects in the
downtown district with an awareness of
economic growth and historic preservation.
Son Jon, DWA Board member, and
his wife, own New Meridian Technologies,
housed in the family owned, aptly named
The Legacy Place. Renovation of this
historic downtown property was a
long-standing dream of Rex’s. The
family completed this project
honoring him in 2013.
Faithful supporters of the Main Street
Program, The Feichter Family embody the
spirit of true Main Street Champions for their
time-honored partnership with DWA
and the Town of Waynesville.
Assistant Secretary Dr. Patricia Mitchell were speakers during the Morganton conference.
“Congratulations are in order for NC Main Street
Champions and Award Winning Programs,” said
Secretary Skvarla. “Their hard work breathes new life
into downtowns all across our state and provides
opportunities for small business as well as
entertainment options for our citizens.” The NC Main
Street Program helps small towns preserve their historic fabric.
The complete family including his daughter,
Laurie Frodsham, a New Meridian Main Street
employee. And son, Will, his wife, Mollie and
their children were all honored at the
recent NC Main Street Champion Awards
presentation by NC Commerce Secretary
John Skvarla and Assistant Secretary
Dr Patricia Mitchell.

FRIENDS OF THE SMOKIES News America's
top national park cracks 10 million visitors
mark. As a prelude to the 2016 centennial of
the National Park Service, Great Smoky Mountain National Park
welcomed more than 10 million visitors in 2014. Visitation exceeded 10 million for the first time since 2000 and only the fourth
time in the park's 80-year history. The Smokies, TN & NC’s
shared treasure, is America's most visited national park. The 2014
visitation total was 10,099,275, an 8 % increase. July & August
were strong, & leaf-peepers produced the biggest OCT in 27 years.
The park's record year was 1999, when 10,283,598 explored corners of the biggest piece of wilderness in the eastern U.S.
On a related note, NC's state park system drew 15.6 million visitors
in 2014, a 10 % increase over 2013. "Public lands are some of our
region's most valued and most loved attractions. Every destination
should develop close working relationships with the stewards of
those lands," said Bill Hardman, president and CEO.
