The show says it's chosen a "deserving family" in Fayetteville to get a brand new log home from Blue Ridge Log Cabins built from the ground up in just one week. The identity of the family will be a closely guarded secret until Thursday.
Business and civic leaders and volunteers from across the region are donating supplies, money, and their time for the project, but organizers say much more is needed.
