Since 1978, the residents of the village of Banner Elk, NC, nestled between the Carolina’s two largest ski resorts, have celebrated the coming of the snow season with a Woolly Worm Festival. They set aside the third weekend in October (October 22-23, 2010) to determine which one worm will have the honor of predicting the severity of the coming winter; and they make that worm earn the honor by winning heat after heat of hard-fought races - up a three-foot length of string.
