Murphy Connections will continue to remain a free site for anyone interested in Murphy, NC, because of the generous sponsorship of our Murphy Gold Businesses. We thank them for their support and urge you to support them in return. That's one way that small towns thrive.

New members, Please read our Code of Conduct

I declined several new member applications, because all you entered on the questionnaire was your name. That's what spammers typically do, and that's why I moderate applications to this community. If you are really interested in Murphy, please give me more information when you apply to join, and if you're a real person, I'll be happy to approve the application and welcome you to Murphy Connections.

Events

I post a few events, now and then, that are for the entire community and folks in the Murphy area.

Tim Radford has a new calendar on WKRK Radio that lists community events and also business, school, church, and organization's events.

Have you traveled the Blue Ridge Parkway from one end to the other?

From the Blue Ridge Parkway Association, "Beginning tomorrow, May 16, the ENTIRE Blue Ridge Parkway will be open from end-to-end. That's right - no construction closures/detours for the first season in a few years. This is a great time to check out the BRP Foundation's End-to-Ender program for travelers who have completed the entire journey."Not only can you enjoy the beauty of traveling the length of the Blue Ridge Parkway, but now…See More

Cherokee Indian Heritage

Considering that Murphy, NC is located in Cherokee County, and that our county was formed right after the terrible Trail of Tears, it's important to remember the heritage of the Cherokee Indians who settled this land thousands of years ago.

"Tamar and I did lots and lots of research on kid birthday parties and started experimenting with our ideas on kids and during parties whenever the opportunity arose. We wrote up lots of content for the site and I was in charge of strategy and building the site from a technical aspect (although, with Site Build It!, you really don't need any technical knowledge because you can build a site through simple building blocks and monitor every aspect of traffic through a consolidated control center.). In no time, both of us became kid birthday junkies." ~ Elad Shippony coolest-parties.com
