On June 5th 2010 Beech Mountain hosted "Sharks in the Mountains". One hundred and ten Porsche 928 enthusiasts gathered at the town hall and the Brick Oven Pizzeria for a day of camaraderie and engine revving. Folks from as far as Washington and Canada came down for the annual event. The event was planned by David and Jean Roberts from 928 Specialists Inc in Spruce Pine, North Carolina. The event closed with a Porsche parade looping through the town.
