The Exchange - The Mountaineer

August 20, 2026 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM (EDT)

Description


Extra! Extra! Read all about it — The Exchange is heading to The Mountaineer!

Kick off your Thursday inside the newsroom that’s been capturing Haywood County’s stories for more than 100 years. We’ll mingle, munch on light bites, and soak up the charm of one of Waynesville’s most iconic local institutions.

Think of it as networking with a headline‑worthy twist: friendly faces, local flavor, and the chance to stand where generations of reporters have turned small‑town moments into big‑time stories.


Thursday, August 20 

8:30–10:00am   

The Mountaineer, 220 N Main Street, Waynesville


A few fun facts about The Mountaineer to make your visit even more memorable:

Haywood’s Hometown Paper — The Mountaineer has been publishing since 1904, making it one of the region’s longest‑running community newspapers.

A True Local Legacy — It’s covered everything from Main Street parades to mountain milestones, preserving the stories that shape Haywood County.

Still Going Strong — While the presses have modernized, the mission hasn’t changed: keep the community informed, connected, and celebrated.

A Hub of Storytelling — Many local writers, photographers, and editors got their start right inside these walls.

More Than a Newspaper — Today, The Mountaineer also supports digital news, community events, and local business visibility.

Whether you’re a Chamber member, a guest, or a curious neighbor, this is your chance to connect with the people who make Haywood County special. Each month, The Exchange shines a spotlight on a local business—offering a relaxed space to meet, share, and collaborate.

Want your business in the spotlight next time? Hosting is a fun way to show off what you do and welcome others into your world.
