Project Healing Waters of North Carolina is sponsoring a fly fishing event for disabled veterans on October 10-11 at Rivers Edge in Spruce Pine NC. Tim Cummings from Project Healing Waters said "This event is busting at the seams and if you are looking for an opportunity to support the disabled vets, join us in Spruce Pine. This is a rare opportunity to show your support to those who gave so much."
