BUSINESS
AFTER
HOURS
What is
Business After Hours?
This is a social event or reception that is held monthly for our members. Members can volunteer to host the event, and it gives them a chance to promote their business to other members. Members have a chance to network and also share announcements about their business. If you are interested in hosting, you can email our Executive Director,
Jim Rich at director@claychambernc.com.
This is special evening is a valuable opportunity for networking and building new relationships. Please remember to wear your nametag and come ready to explore how your business might collaborate with others in the future.
During the event, attendees will have a unique chance to promote their business or upcoming event by making a donation to “The Jar for Education”. In return, you will be invited to introduce yourself and your
business to everyone present.
This initiative, called “Ads for Education”, helps fund the Hayesville High School scholarship(s) awarded each May by The Chamber of Commerce.
We look forward to connecting with you and supporting both your
business AND education in our community!

At Tell Your Story, we believe everyone has a story worth telling. When we rediscover our authentic self and value our own journey, we begin to listen to the experiences and perspectives of others. Our mission at Tell Your Story is to enable this genuine connection with ourselves and others in pursuit of being seen, heard, and valued.
We do our work at Hawk’s Hill Farm, a community-centric venue nestled in the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains. Events are held in an original farmhouse with classroom & community gathering venues surrounded by the Shooting Creek community. Join Tell Your Story for an upcoming class or community event in a space that promotes connection to self, to others, and to the land.
Christle’s Community Classroom
Christle’s Community Classroom located in the newly built barn at Hawk’s Hill Farm
provides a space to gather in the community for inspiration, learning, and growth.
Origin of the Name: Hawk’s Hill Farm
In the first few days of owning the farm, my husband Scott was cutting the weeds along the fence when he discovered an injured hawk embedded in the fence close to the ground. It appeared as if the hawk was diving for prey and did not realize that a fence was located in its path. Scott ran to get a pair of wire cutters to free the hawk from the entanglement of the wire fence. The hawk was severely injured and after spending time trying to find a bird rescue facility with no results, we were met with no other option than to try and make the hawk as comfortable as it could be. Water was provided in a bowl, and an umbrella was placed above its body for protection from the July summer hot temperatures and scorching sunrays. Each day the hawk progressed ever so slowly in its recovery. I was at a loss on how to help the hawk heal. But on the third day, the hawk rose! There were no remains, feathers or anything left of the hawk to indicate its existence along the fence. The hawk that was on the hill at the farm had healed and flown away. The inspiration for the name Hawk’s Hill Farm was provided along with of course one heck of a great story.
Hawk’s Hill Farm
The vision of Hawk’s Hill Farm is to offer a space to gather in community for inspiration, to connect to self, to connect to others, and to connect to the land was ready to be born. We achieve this by offering a variety of classes, gatherings, group and individual activities, and amenities.
