Local REALTOR® Carrie Ann Chandler with Keller Williams Mountain Partners to host the next Fletcher Area Business Association (FABA) “Focus After Five” networking event: Festival of Friends in Hendersonville, NC.
HENDERSONVILLE, NC – March 28, 2026 – Carrie Ann Chandler, a values-driven REALTOR® serving Western North Carolina, is proud to host the upcoming Fletcher Area Business Association (FABA) “Focus After Five” networking event. Reimagined as the “Festival of Friends,” this celebration of community and connection will take place on Thursday, April 9th, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the Keller Williams Mountain Partners office in downtown Hendersonville.
As a long time resident with deep roots in Henderson County and Brevard, Chandler’s professional philosophy – “Hello Friends!” – is built on the belief that real estate is deeply personal and should prioritize people over transactions. This month’s FABA event reflects that commitment, moving beyond traditional networking to create an inclusive, high-energy space for neighbors and professionals alike.
“WNC is a place to belong, not just a product to be sold,” said Chandler. “Hosting this Festival of Friends is an extension of my ‘Concierge Standard’ – creating a stress-free environment where our local culture and small businesses can truly shine”.
The evening will feature a curated selection of local experiences, including:
Culinary Delights: Catering by Tater Babies, complemented by a variety of drinks and desserts.
Interactive Stations: A custom flower bar for guests to “Make Your Own Flower Bouquet,” plus bedazzling sunglasses, face painting, and butterfly tattoos.
Atmosphere & Prizes: Music, a fun photo booth, and a dedicated giveaway session from 6:30 PM to 7:00 PM.
