Messages of Hope: Ep 2 - The Resilient People of Beech Mountain
Description
With the support of UNC Health Appalachian, the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce presents Messages of Hope. This series features stories of the perseverance, courage, and partnerships displayed in the wake of Hurricane Helene's impact on the North Carolina High Country.

In our second episode, we journey to Beech Mountain and see how local businesses, government, and people came together after Helene. These leaders rallied to ensure the community had essential supplies while others built the literal road to recovery. In the face of isolation, these leaders turned a challenging situation into a testament of resilience and community spirit.

Produced by Real Boone Studios with support from the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. Additional footage provided by Jimmie Accardi, Talia Freeman, and Town of Beech Mountain.
