Pro-Mask = Pro-Asheville!

Pro-Mask = Pro-Asheville!

Our good friends who own retail shops downtown have started a Facebook group and photo contest for mask-making! It’s a fun and important project! You can join the Facebook group HERE. I hope to see some cools masks! My favorite so far is a tiny one that someone’s daughter insisted be made for the tooth fairy! (pictured below)

If more people choose to wear masks, businesses will feel safer reopening, and we can get Asheville back to the vibrant city we all love and miss, safely!

Help promote and de-stigmatize mask-wearing and enter to win a variety of awesome prizes from local businesses, and help Asheville open back up safely!!

Share your mask photos on your own social media pages with the hashtag #maskavl
