Summer brings no shortage of festivals across Western North Carolina, and this weekend, the big party is being thrown by the state’s Republicans in Cherokee.
Friday through Sunday, adherents to the state’s dominant political party in the N.C. General Assembly will convene in the mountains of Western North Carolina for their annual convention. More than 1,000 Grand Old Party faithful are expected to attend the event, which is being held for the first time at Harrah’s Casino and Resort.

It will also give GOP lawmakers the chance to gather hundreds of miles away from Raleigh, where last year’s session and the current short session have been marked by continual protests and demonstrations.
