Businesses of all sizes and industries across Western North Carolina are encouraged to respond to a new collaborative survey facilitated by Riverbird Research on the impacts of Hurricane Helene on their business. Upon completing the survey, respondents have the option to enter a drawing for a $500 gift card provided by the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce.
About the Survey:
Any business with a presence in Western North Carolina can take the survey. This includes businesses in any industry and of all sizes (from solopreneurs to national/international companies with operations in WNC) as well as businesses that may have closed post-Helene. Survey is available in English and Spanish.
This collaborative survey is in partnership with the EDPNC, Buncombe County, the City of Asheville, and Explore Asheville to support business recovery efforts across Western North Carolina following Hurricane Helene. The General Assembly has tasked the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC) with conducting a business loss and needs assessment to help inform federal and state policy for relief and recovery, as local agencies and partners work together across Western North Carolina to address immediate and long-term business needs.
EDPNC’s CEO, Christopher Chung:
“By taking the time to respond to this survey, WNC business owners can have a voice in describing the depth and breadth of challenges affecting their business, their employees, and their customers. As the state’s partner in supporting existing companies and counseling small business, this information is crucial to informing the next steps forward in Washington and Raleigh.”
Heidi Reiber, Senior Director of Research at Riverbird Research, a division of the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce: “Understanding on-the-ground needs of the business community is key to shaping recovery efforts. Input from employers across Western North Carolina”
Artisans on Main has a new owner!
Come out to the shop this Saturday, February 8th 10am-5pm to an Open House hosted by Amy Spooner and her family.
A note from Amy:
I have officially taken ownership of Artisans on Main. It is such an honor to carry on the legacy that Leah and the team of Artisans on Main have built over the past eight years, and I’m looking forward to growing the shop into a space that celebrates even more of the incredible local talent that surrounds us!
With so much excitement, I’m thrilled to announce that my vision for the future of the shop will focus on featuring more works by local artists and showcasing goods made right here in and around the Western North Carolina area, and bringing Artisans on Main online!
As many of you know, the recent impact of Hurricane Helene has affected so many, and now more than ever, I believe in the power of community and supporting one another. It’s my hope that Artisans on Main can play a small role in helping our area recover, thrive, and keep the arts alive.
To celebrate this new chapter, I’d love to invite you to an Open House on Saturday, February 8th from 10 AM to 5 PM. This will be a great opportunity to meet me, explore the shop, and check out some of the exciting new changes we’re making. Plus, if you make a purchase of $25 or more, you’ll be entered into a $100 Gift Card giveaway! It’s my way of saying thank you for your continued support and for being part of this wonderful community.
I can’t wait to see you all and hear what you think of the changes to come. Thank you for being part of the Artisans on Main story—I am so excited to see where we go from here!
With Lots of Love & Gratitude,
Amy Spooner
Owner of Artisans On Main

New Space, and a New Face!
Not only do we have a new home, we also have a new Doctor of Physical Therapy, Celeste Nicholson.
Get to know her!
Growing up I played almost every sport and enjoyed outdoor activities such as snowboarding and kayaking. After needing physical therapy for different sports injuries (ACL repairs, fractures, sprains) I knew that I wanted to be a physical therapist by the time I was a senior in high school. While playing tennis for Bellarmine University and then University of Tennessee Chattanooga, I earned my undergraduate degrees in Biology and Rehabilitation Science.
I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at UTC in 2010. Because of my background in sports, I focused my early career on treating athletes and the active population and became a Sports Clinical Specialist and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Now 14 years into my career, I have developed a broader understanding of activity. While I still enjoy treating competitive athletes of all levels and ages, I also appreciate the importance of helping everyone achieve the highest quality of active life they can. And I love helping them get there. I utilize a variety of manual techniques, exercise programs, and functional movements to help patients get back to what they love to do. For close to 13 years I have served Weaverville and the surrounding communities, which means I have communicated with a lot of doctors in this region.
Outside of work, you can find me squeezing in short runs in downtown Weaverville or doing a variety of outdoor recreational activities and sports with my husband and two kids.
