I’m guessing you might be in Avery County, which is heavily Republican and full of people who don’t believe in masks or vaccines. However, Boone is vastly different. Boone had a strong mask mandate before most other towns in NC. The vast majority of grocery stores in Boone have been great about masks and social distancing.

Good luck! It IS crowded which is why I got out of town for a quiet, socially distanced holiday. This week is the biggest ski week of the year, btw.
