The Piedmont Land Conservancy ends 2020 on a high note: Last week the nonprofit tasked with preserving and protecting land closed a deal on a 115-acre tract that will provide a crucial link in the Piedmont Greenway corridor â an extensive trial thatâs expected to connect Greensboro and Winston-Salem, passing through Kernersville and Triad Park.
The tract is called Bandera Farms; itâs located along Reedy Fork Creek in Summerfield.
A mile of the Piedmont Greenway will pass through Bandera Farms; the rest of the property will be developed as a trails preserve, with a focus on equestrian trails.
The tract will also create additional buffers along Reedy Fork Creek, which supplies Greensboroâs drinking water.

‘The Lights On Beasley’ have become a holiday attraction on Beasley School Road in Sandy Ridge.
Stoles County Tourism Director Tory Mabe has set up more than five dozen holiday inflatables in his yard.
SANDY RIDGE There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a difficult year for so many families. As we celebrate Christmas, things that brings so many joy and hope seems lost. So many are left feeling isolated, alone, grieving, unemployed and frustrated.
But there is something that we can all agree on: Hope is still alive because it lives in your heart and should never be defined by external factors. And that is exactly what one Stokes County native has decided to wants to show you.
Here are some fantastic weekend getaways with clusters of attractions to keep the whole family entertained.
Boone/Blowing Rock
An underrated destination that is often listed behind Asheville, the Boone/Blowing Rock area tops my list of North Carolina mountain getaways.
It has the nostalgia factor of taking your kids to the same places you remember visiting in years past and some of them, like the slanted house at Mystery Hill and various gem mining stops, haven’t changed.
Other attractions, like Grandfather Mountain, have undergone extensive upgrades.
Where to go: Boone and Blowing Rock are less than nine miles apart, with the Blue Ridge Parkway running through. Aside from the parkway’s beautiful overlooks, you can visit Grandfather Mountain for hiking, the iconic mile-high bridge and a mountainside zoo.
