NEWLAND – Mo’s Boots cut is ribbon at its new Newland location on July 29.
The smell of hotdogs and hamburger’s filled the air, and people from all over Avery and Watauga counties came together to help celebrate the grand opening of the newest Mo’s Boots and Carhartt location in Avery County.
Around 128 hamburgers and 300 hotdogs were given out to the people in the community who attended the event. The event also included a sale on select items and a raffle for free boots or socks. Some gear was given away at a booth.
A strong sense of community resonated during the event as the owner of the store, Cathy Hardy, shook hands with the people who came out to support the store.
“We’re excited to be in Avery County. We know we have drawn a lot of customers from over here throughout the years. So, why not move to the backyard to be able to serve them right here,” Hardy said.
Mo’s Boots in Boone has been in operation for 17 years, and the location in West Jefferson for 10 years. Hardy said a location in Avery seemed like the next step. The Newland location is at 3022 Millers Gap Hwy.
