Dear Friends,

North Carolina has much to offer those who visit and call this great state their home. Hendersonville is one of those very special places where everyone is always made to feel welcome.

I have enjoyed my many trips to Hendersonville and have always found it to be such a friendly place. The people and the sights all combine to make Hendersonville a very attractive destination.

I commend all who play a part in spreading the word about all that is happening in this great part of North Carolina.

Sincerely,

Richard Burr, Senator, R-NC




“I was thrilled to open my Western office in Hendersonville shortly after my election to the U.S. Senate, and have enjoyed visiting as much as possible!   Hendersonville continues to be a shining example of the kind of warm and caring communities that we North Carolinians are so proud of.   I commend Barbara Hughes on her pride as a Hendersonville citizen as well as her efforts to publicly recognize the welcoming spirit of this great city.”
