North Carolina activities on nation's Yule calendar Three North Carolina ^events have been designated among the "Top 100 Events in North America for 1985." They are: Christmas at Biltmore House, the 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Blue Ridge Parkway and the World 600 Stock Car Race. Selections to this prestigious list were announced today by Charles Heatherly, Director of the North Carolina Division of Travel and Tourism and the American Bus Association, which compiles the yearly listing. Representing what ABA describ ed as "a rich diversity of travel op portunities offering a wide variety of attractions," each year's "Top 100" selections are heavily pro moted as choice destinations for motorcoach tour groups. This, in effect, can mean a boom to the local economy where the event is being hosted. Christmas at Biltmore is a month-long celebration at Biltmore House in Asheville where the elegant French chateau will be decorated in grand style. The 50th Anniversary of the Blue Ridge Parkway celebration is a year-long commemoration of the golden anniversary of America's most beautiful scenic highway which has provided gorgeous panoramic views to some 400 million visitors. The World 600 Stock Car Race is held on Memorial Day weekend at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and draws the nation's second largest crowd to a single event each year. The ABA "Top 100" designa tions are based on nominations by state and provincial travel direc tors in the United States and Canada. The 1985 list features events in 46 states, the District of Columbia and seven Canadian provinces. "Many of the events for 1985 reflect the rich, cultural heritages found in the U.S. and Canada," said American Bus Association President Norman R. Sherlock. "These are regarded as first-rate attractions by the state travel of fices." A Calendar of Events in North Carolina is published by the state Division of Travel and Tourism. The 1985 edition boasts 1087 listings throughout the year and across the state. They represent a myriad of festivals, special obser vances, celebrations, and in many cases, just a good excuse to get together and have some fun.
