Some citizens of the domain, especially those around Pilot Mountain, can be forgiven if they think we haven’t had a smart spring in 3 years.

Their wait is coming to an end.

On Friday, the three-day Pilot Mountain Mayfest, sponsored through the Pilot Mountain Civic Club, will return for the first time since 2019, after a two-year break due to COVID.

“The only Mayfests I’ve missed are the two we canceled,” said Michelle Fallin, president of the Pilot Mountain Civic Club and leader of the volunteer force hosting this year’s event. “It’s a wonderful culture for us who live in Pilot Mountain, for other people who love to make a stopover in Pilot Mountain. I have the idea that it is the classic way to release spring and summer.

She’s not the only one: Traditionally, more than 30,000 people flock to the small town in the shadow of Pilot Mountain for the three-day event, with several Pilot Mountain streets in the city center covered with craft vendors, food stalls, as well as live music and a game or two for the kids.

While Mayfest has been around for several decades, this year’s festival turns out to have a special meaning.

“It’s a breath of new air,” said Jenny Jessup Kindy, the city’s main street coordinator. “It makes life more normal. We are thrilled to welcome more than 30,000 people to the city. “

“I heard a lot that they are satisfied that we are back,” Fallin said. “From what I hear from other people in the community, they are in a position to once again enjoy all that Pilot Mountain has to offer. “

It’s not just the appeal of a downtown festival that excites Fallin and others. The Civic Club donates between $10,000 and $15,000 to Mountain pilot nonprofits to meet the wishes of the community, plus some direct donations to families in crisis, as well as some scholarships.

“Mayfest has been our biggest fundraiser, it gives us the opportunity to do it for our community,” he said. Without Mayfest for the past two years, it has been tricky to maintain this nonprofit foothold. raising this year will allow us to get back to where we were. “

She said that this year, participants will notice some differences, with some vendors and music elsewhere. Part of the redesign is moving food vendors to the main street, with tables nearby so other people can eat.

“It’s been kind of a big struggle every year, so that other people can eat and enjoy their food. “

In addition to vendors, many of which will be new this year, Fallin said many downtown businesses are making plans to install stalls.

“We have some wonderful corporations that have come to the city in the last two years,” he said. “Our city as a whole has done a wonderful job of getting other people to buy. I think a lot of new corporations see that and it needs to be a component of Mayfest.

Mayfest will open at noon on the depot stage. The ceremony, in addition to a wonderful welcome to those present, will come with words from Mayor Evan Cockerham, singing a song through the 3- and 4-year-olds of First United. Methodist Church, with East Surry High School JROTC serving as an honor guard.

Fallin said he will take a position from noon to 8 p. m. m. on Friday, from 10 a. m. to 8 p. m. on Saturday and from 1 p. m. m. a 6 p. m. on Sunday.

There were many smiles at Thursday’s rally at East Surry High School as Special Olympics returned to the field. The pandemic has wreaked the same havoc on those games as it has on so many other notable occasions over the past two years. It didn’t matter how the parade of athletes took to the track amid loud cheers for so early in the morning.

Like the Olympics, Special Olympics had opening ceremonies featuring the colors of the East Surry JROTC, speeches by Surry County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Travis Reeves and the Surry County Board of Commissioners Bill Goins, and the athletes’ oath. Each school advertised and entered the football arena as an organization. There was an organization for individual competition and not all athletes were of school age.

As the torch entered the stadium, flanked by Sheriff Steve Hiatt and a giant contingent from the Surry County Sheriff’s Office, the excitement increased. The flame was lit, the oaths were offered, it was time for the game.

Playtime is not a completely irrelevant way to describe variety for athletes. Softball throwing games, wheelchair racing, and running took positions in the box and on the track.

Daniel White is the local organizer and Surry parks and recreation staffer who organizes the morning dance competitions and manages the cheerleaders and PTA. He announced that the dance is equal in both directions.

Some of the younger competitors were on the other side of the box, near the dominance of the visitors’ seats, where a fierce tug-of-war was unfolding, while another young man made his most productive impression of Evander Holybox jumping and boxing with an inflatable penguin.

Regardless of activity, place, or age group, there is a contagious joy on the occasion that doesn’t litter a cloudy sky. There is “the thrill of victory,” what is missing in those games “the agony of defeat. “It has no position among the Olympic athletes who have already won, but some still won more teams at the end of the days.

Commissioner Mark Marion noted that other people don’t think about teams of all ages participating in Special Olympics, but said they were all young people at the center that day. It was easy to see when the adults, teachers, superintendent and county adults Wigs hit their feet in September of Earth, Wind and Fire, or fought Cupid’s combination: they were given an A for the effort.

Marion included herself among the youth at the center and echoed the precise words of her colleague, Commissioner Larry Johnson, which is one of the most productive days of the year, all she hopes for. He has his own private connection to the Games as he has a circle of family members competing and Johnson Granite is one of many corporate sponsors.

Sponsors and volunteers formed an army, with East Surry High students dressed in red T-shirts who identified themselves as “friends. “Array received encouragement in the opening rite to help their athlete laugh and create wonderful memories.

East Surry students also went out to cheer on the athletes, one instructor commented that their elegance was done with what they had to do, so he would take them down to cheer on the Olympic athletes. “I’m already on my sixth journey,” he said as he moved quickly to stick to his students.

Bill Goins spent a lot of time in public education and told the crowd that when he was in school administration, visits to see his remarkable students would be a bright spot in his day. “I spent 28 years as a coach and 17 years in administration. The highlight of my day was stopping by to see my exceptional students. I knew I could get a smile or a hug if I had a bad day,” he told the crowd.

It wasn’t necessary to have a circle of family members competing to feel the sense of happiness and joy that permeated David H Stadium. Diamont. Special a word that was used a lot on Thursday, but didn’t lose its luster or become anything. however, it is true: the games and athletes were really special, and all winners.

Westfield Elementary School named its March Leaders of the Month.

“These fellows were selected through their peers for demonstrating the leadership characteristic through training,” the school said. “To conform is to perceive that others are different from you and to respect their differences.

Each student is given an ebook to take home.

In addition to those shown here, Angel Sawyers also named one of the leaders of the month.

The Pilot Mountain Civic Club named Carolyn Boyles 2021 Citizen of the Year. At a recent meeting, Mayor Evan Cockerham presented her with the award, stating that she is “an integral part of this club, this network and the history of Pilot Mountain. “”

She is no stranger to the network, as she is a long-time resident and has taught in Surry County school formula for over 40 years.

She was included in the first edition (as well as two later editions) of “Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers” and appeared in “Great Women of the 21st Century”. She has a great reputation and is admired by her alumni, as they occasionally identify her through them when they see her. They take the time to reconnect and ask questions about their families. and existing activities.

As a leader and pillar of our community, she served as a commissioner in the Town of Pilot Mountain for 23 years and as Mayor Pro-Tem for several years. In addition, he has served on several municipal councils, the Planning Council and the TDA. .

C. – A History and Genealogy. “Not surprisingly, with his love of history and genealogy, he is a member of the National Education Association, the North Carolina Educators Association, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution: Jonathan Hunt Chapter, the Surry County Genealogy Association, the Rockingham and Stokes Genealogy Society.

“As an elected official, Carolyn is someone I appreciate and value,” Mayor Cockerham said. “As a young leader in the network, I am grateful for yours and know that your direction and wisdom are available. When I think of other people, I think of Carolyn, when I think of other people who have had a lasting impact, I think of Carolyn. When I think of the other people who have made this network what it is today, Carolyn is in an elegance of her own.

After a two-year hiatus, an April culture returns to Mount Airy with this week’s Friends of the Library e-book sale Wednesday at the Mount Airy Public Library.

“Last week was National Library Week,” said Rana Southern, a librarian at Mount Airy Branch. “We have it that week. “

This will be the library’s first full spring sale since 2019, with COVID restrictions removing sales in 2020 and restricting them in 2021. Friends of the Library held a limited spring sale last year in May, like its normal fall e-book sale, but this will be the first full spring occasion in 3 years.

Popular e-book sales are a way for friends to raise budgets to help the library by promoting e-books and audio-visual pieces donated to the library during the year.

“We had a lot of other people asking us when it would start,” Southern said.

It begins on Wednesday with the first selection sale from five in the afternoon. That night, all hardcover books cost $3, pocket books $2, and DVDs, audios, and videos $1 each. Children’s books charge five for $3.

On Thursday and Friday, the charges are falling. Hardcovers will charge $2, paperbacks $1, while charges for audio and visual pieces and children’s books will remain the Wednesday charges.

On Saturday, e-book prices go down again, at the component price, and then on Monday, that’s the bag promotion component of the effort, when other people can pay $2 for a plastic bag full of e-books and similar materials.

“We have books, we have movies, we have vinyl, we have a lot of other people giving their all,” Southern said, adding that donations will be higher than overall for a spring sale. they clean their closets,” he said.

The money raised is used through the Friends of the Library for the installation.

“They use that money to give a contribution to the systems we buy, they buy materials for our programming, they helped us buy new e-book carts, new rugs for the children’s area,” Southern said of the group. “They helped us pay the authors who come to make a stopover in us, we have Bright Star Theatre this summer, they helped us pay for it. They helped us offer systems for all ages.

He said it’s an opportunity for book lovers to do smart business, as well as a chance to “support their local library. “

Southern also said anyone interested in being a part of friends of the Library will notice that the organization welcomes new members. meet on the first Monday of each month at 9:30 a. m. m.

For next week’s sale, the occasion is from 17:00 to 20:00 on Wednesday from 8:30 to 20:00 Thursday from 8:30 to 17:00 Friday, Saturday from 9:00 to 13:00 and Monday from 8:30 to 20:00.

In recent years, Pilot Mountain leaders have made concerted efforts to multiply the occasions in the city, not only to attract visitors and tourists, but also to improve the quality of life of the city’s residents.

Now, the city’s Main Street program has introduced the appropriation to inspire homeowners and lawned homeowners to keep their places great and stylish, and to recognize those who do: a Yard Spotlight newspaper award.

While the program officially began in the fall, the first prizes were recently awarded to two owners: Marilyn Thomas, of 406 W. Main Street, and Gerald and Susan Reams, 509 E Main.

“They enjoyed it,” said Jenny Kindy, Main Street coordinator for Pilot Mountain. “A very surprised, I don’t know if she followed her. . . he was surprised and pleasantly surprised that his assignment was nominated and selected. “

She said the Main Street board of trustees approved the program in October, though she had to wait until spring to officially begin presenting the awards.

“We think it would be a wonderful way to maintain the concern and commitment of the network,” he said of the program, which originated among city staff. “This is the first time we’ve done something where the network can call their peers to recognize . . . a way to praise other people who intelligently tend your garden, to inspire other people to be proud of your garden. This makes the city more beautiful.

She said the program works through other people who only call one subway out of town. While the first two winners live on Main Street, he said it for everyone in town.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to brag about your neighbors for doing a job,” he said. Winners get a sign in the garden promoting their recognition, as well as a promotion on social media.

Those who wish to make an appointment can do so by email to yardspotlight@pilotmountainnc. org. Kindy said a city workers’ organization reviews nominations, visits the structure’s sites before choosing which ones will be recognized.

With the lowering of pandemic limits on public gatherings, activities and gatherings are returning to normal.

Nowhere is this more noticeable than at Pilot Mountain, where a full list of spring, summer and fall activities has been presented, and the first occasion of its kind begins this week with the start of the St. Patrick’s Day birthday party on Thursday downtown.

It kicks off a series of more than 20 festivals, cruises, specialty markets, family circle events and concerts planned for the rest of the year.

Christy Craig, event coordinator for the Pilot Mountain center, said the first St. Patrick’s Day event in the city is a bit more low-key than some of the planned activities.

“He has a treasure hunt,” he said.

The hunt begins at City Hall, where visitors can prevent and pick up a loose green tote bag, as well as a list of the city’s outlets at the event.

“Every store has a clover with a number,” he said. Shoppers write down the number on the clover, on the list of attractive stores, and then, once they have discovered all the numbers on the clover, they return the card to the city corridor. to participate in a prize draw.

She said organizers can even pay for some grocery shopping: When visitors start their day at City Hall, they can get an instant ticket, with cash prizes to ease the cost of buying groceries downtown.

“It’s just a small occasion to get other people downtown, to give business owners a little taste of a slow time,” he said, while offering fun activities for visitors.

“We were just looking to expand to host some previous events in the season,” Mayor Evan Cockerham added. “Our daylight saving time, and even our fall schedule, has become tight. St. Patrick’s Day seemed like a logical choice. He said some businesses and restaurants even adopted the St. Patrick’s Day theme that day.

Although it is a smaller event, the scavenger hunt initiates a wide variety of celebrations planned for Pilot Mountain. Among them, the city’s famous Hot Nights and Hot Cars cruise series is scheduled for a monthly appointment from May to October; the return of the popular Mayfest after a forced absence of 3 years due to the pandemic; antique markets; and a new activity — Fun Fridays.

“We’re going to see anything a little different this year for other people to come to the center after hours to stay,” Craig said of Fun Fridays, which will take place on July 15, Aug. 19 and Sept. 19. 19. 16. “We need to give other people something to do that no one else does. “

The occasion will feature live music and a DJ, dancing, concessions and other activities, encouraged through another theme: the 70s, 80s and 90s.

“We will inspire other people to dress up according to the theme and department stores before staying for the party,” he said.

“We’re looking to add, do more events,” Mayor Cockerham said. “Pilot Mountain has organized events very well, we just look to do anything that brings more music, art and entertainment. “

He said that when he first chose several years ago, one of his priorities was to work with businesses and other organizations to host events that would attract more people to the city.

“We need downtown Pilot Mountain to a destination of choice, a place for families to go. “

At the time, he said the city hosts seven or eight annual events. Now that figure is nearly two dozen.

“I give a lot of credit to Jenny Kindy and Cristy Craig,” he said. Kindy is the town’s main street coordinator. “We’re excited to welcome more people to Pilot Mountain now that many COVID restrictions have lifted. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.

The total number of Pilot Mountain events is as follows:

March 17 — Saint-Patrick Center

April 9 — Pilot View Vintage Market

May 6 – May – Mayfest

28 May — Community for a cause of 5k

June – Hot Nights Hot Cars In Cruise

ARARAT, Va. – Even in this time of pandemic, some organizations manage to continue doing work for the benefit of their communities, such is the case of the Ararat Ruritan Club.

Members recently gathered for a festive assembly that included an indoor dinner and the opportunity to celebrate the club’s successes in 2021, one of its most productive years.

This included the popularity of the praise achieved at the last Dan River District Convention of the Ruritans region, at which five gold awards were given to the Ararat Group for various network service projects.

In addition, Pamela Smith named Ruritan of the Year for Dan River District (a novelty for Ararat), and her colleague Merlin Scales voted Zone 1 President of the Year.

Scales also selected as Zone 1 governor for 2022, replacing Charlie Bowman, and Roger Gammons as governor of Ararat Ruritans’ Dan River district for the year, replacing Bowman.

At the holiday assembly at the club’s headquarters at 4711 Ararat Highway, Scales installed officials for 2022, adding President Kathy Loveland, Vice President Mike Noonkester, Secretary Pamela Smith and Kevin Smith, Treasurer.

The new board for 2022 is Mary Dellenback Hill, Bradley Slate, Mary Slate and the club’s outgoing president, Scales.

Hill is the last Ruritan For Life.

Club control said “thank you very much” to all the other people and corporations that help, give a contribution and attend the Ararat Ruritan club events that have made 2021 a success.

Among their activities, the Ararat Ruritans organized fundraising events that allowed them to relate to causes. These included the Patrick County Food Bank, a backpacker program of the Rotary Club of the County, and a Home Alone effort that serves the citizens of the Willis Gap and Ararat communities.

In October, ruritans were revered with Golden Key awards for strengthening the club’s ranks, adding Bradley Slate, sergeant-at-arms, who recruited two new members; Kevin Smith, 3 members; and Pamela Smith, 3.

Scales also won the Tom Downing Award, the honor bestowed through the National Ruritans. All awards were presented through Bowman, then Governor of the Dan River District.

Ararat’s club meets on the first Thursday of each month, but due to the scheduling of a national convention, it will meet on Thursday of this week at 7 p. m. m. y will add a covered dinner.

It will resume the schedule afterwards.

The December welcomed Judy Jackson, Timothy Pruitt, Steve Fariss and Margaret Noonkester as guests.

A Golden Eagles organization recently “arrived” to meet in a position in Siloam, for a migration ritual, even for the 50th assembly of Surry Central High School in 1971.

She had a backyard and a picnic at Hogan Creek Farm, hosted by Marion and Jerry Venable, and she was a member of this alumni group.

Students from Copeland, Dobson, and Mountain Park Elementary Schools had come together in the fall of 1967 to Golden Eagles, the mascot of Surry Central High School, and would eventually form a lifelong bond as members of the class of 1971.

At the recent assembly that celebrated the 50th anniversary of its inception at the Dobson School, the organization traveled back in time displays of memories and also venerated its deceased classmates.

Another highlight was a delicious barbecue dinner that was served in contrast to the backdrop of a beautiful fall night at Atkinson House in 1893, participants said.

During this time, each member of elegance won a brochure with up-to-date tactile information.

A classmate, Dana Haynes, made a 600-mile trip from St. Augustine, Florida, to sign up for the lively conversations and festivities everyone enjoyed.

Special visitors were Gene Everette, former third class counselor of elegance, and Doug Cook, former instructor and administrator, and his wife Bonnie.

Participants were greeted by Sam Gentry, the president of elegance, with former elegance partner, the Rev. Steve Johnson, offering the invocation.

Assembly committee members Marion Feezor Venable, Susan Hamlin Gentry, Paula Key Stanley, Teresa Shinault Haymore and Debbie Simmons Wilmoth.

Montanna Edwards, a surry County resident and student at Surry Online Magnet School, recently competed in the Prohound PKC World Junior Championship in Salem, Illinois, and took third place in the national rankings.

Montanna started hunting when she was around five years old when her father, Michael Edwards, and brother, Shane Hawks, encouraged her to raise her own dog. I had heard stories from them about their hunting reports and was curious and eager to participate. He won his first contest with his father’s dog, Jack, at the age of 12.

Montana is addicted to festivals and has hit the charts ever since. In March, he won the 2021 PKC Virginia State Junior Championship in Aylett, Virginia, with his dog Sandy, a Walker Hound. From October 7 to 9, he competed with his other favorite. Dog Hard Time Smoke, a blue English hound, at the World Junior Championships, winning 3rd place at the National Junior World Championships.

Montanna begins her education and preparation for next year’s festival through hunting about six nights a week. In her best year of the best school, she is grateful to have implemented and been accepted as a student at Surry Online Magnet School. She says she sought to examine online so she can pursue her dream of competing more in higher grades and places. Being in an online school gives you the opportunity to plan the time you spend on your categories to coordinate with your education schedule.

“These online things are more complicated and reinforce accountability,” he said. “I love being able to create my own schedule and my teachers are understanding and flexible and are there when I need help. “

Montanna’s favorite game is to bond with her dogs, commenting that they are her priority. He competes with them on average six times a month, hoping to get the points needed for his qualification to compete in next year’s state, national and world championships. .

Will Banfield, a senior at the North Carolina School of Science and Math, has been named one of 16,000 semifinalists in the 2022 National Scholarship Program. Formerly Greyhound of North Surry High, Will is the son of Julia-Ann and David Banfield.

Reaching the point of semifinalists is already an honor, with a list decided among more than 1. 5 million applicants. Semifinalists will now have the opportunity to continue at the festival for more than 7,500 scholarships to national merit. Last year, the National Scholarship Corporation Award of Merit awarded scholarships worth approximately $39 million to scholars across the country.

To be considered as a scholarship of excellence, semifinalists must meet several situations to advance to the finalist point of the competition.

“A semifinalist shall have a remarkable educational record throughout the high school, be approved and advised by a high school official, and write an essay,” the organization said in a brief describing the procedure.

For a finalist, the semi-finalist and a senior school official will be required to submit a detailed scholarship application, providing data on the semi-finalist’s educational history, participation in educational and networking activities, demonstrated leadership skills, employment, as well as distinctions and awards received.

Those who advance to the finalist point will be notified in February. All recipients of the National Merit Scholarships will be chosen by this finalist organization. Merit fellows will be decided based on their skills, achievements, and prospects of good fortune in a rigorous school education. regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or devout preference.

Festivities to commemorate Surry County’s 250th anniversary effectively began with the launch of Surry 250 in August, followed by the new “Rediscover Rockford” birthday party in mid-September. With a list of systems to continue with the centennial, plans for an upcoming Surry County bus tour have changed the historic sites of Surry County.

An October outing to stop at historic sites of interest in spaces west of Dobson was postponed until spring 2022. Nathan Walls, assistant superintendent of Surry County, noted that “the recent Covid numbers are concerning. On a bus, you’re sitting next to other people and don’t allow any social distancing. Walls also became involved in the possible demographic composition of those tours, which may have uncovered large numbers of older or more vulnerable passengers very close to each other.

The planned grand bus tour of Surry County sites in October will include sites like Edwards-Franklin House, Flat Top Primitive Baptist Church, Kapp’s Mill and Tuck House. Plans for this tour will be postponed until next year and Walls will add, “We will be watching the numbers and reviewing the excursions in the spring. “

Plans for more bus tours of Surry County’s historic sites have already been developed for 2022. In April, the plan calls for the organization to make a stop at the spaces around Elkin. In the month of May, large buses will walk through the sites of Mount Airy. Exploring the Westfield Domain is the June excursion. Currently, the last planned main bus tour is scheduled for the month of August with a stop at the historic sites of south-central Surry. The October release at Dobson has not yet been postponed. .

Visiting Surry County’s historic sites is not a new idea. Marion Venable of the Surry County Historical Society noted that similar visits were organized on the bicentennial birthday in 1976 as part of the experience.

Next on the Surry 250 calendar is the conference series which begins on November 28 with a conference on the architecture of Surry County. “The conference series is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Right now, the November event is launching,” Walls said.

The lecture series will also continue in 2022 with the January theme focused on the region’s musical tradition. Ongoing themes in the series will come with Native American history in February and herb heritage and history in March. May will take shape and rejoice in the long-term Surry County.

Additional data on the existing anniversary of Surry 250 can be obtained in http://facebook. com/surry250 and www. surry250. com.

GREENVILLE, SC – State Road resident JoAnna Stevens has been named a member of the Bob Jones University Wind Symphonic Band. Stevens is a sophomore majoring in music.

The Symphonic Wind Band is BJU’s most successful instrumental ensemble. Each year, artists audition through an organization of excerpts from the band’s literature or examine studies, scales, and sight-readings of unknown music. After this varied audition, a momentary audition is organized for within the whole. The organization is led by Dr. Bruce Cox.

The band is known for its subtle interpretations of exceptional music. This year, the circle of university relatives will have the opportunity to enjoy a concert at the Gazebo on October 1 at 6 p. m. m. In case of bad weather, the exhibition will take place in Stratton Sala.

Located in Greenville, Bob Jones University provides regionally accredited Christian liberal arts education designed to motivate an ongoing pursuit of learning, love, and leadership. BJU provides more than one hundred undergraduate and graduate systems and more than 3,000 students.

At their normal monthly meeting Tuesday, members of the Shoals Community Recreation Center Board of Directors identified and revered one of its own members, Bobby Key.

Eddie Brown, chairman of the board, spoke about Key’s involvement and the award.

Key, a longtime resident of Shoals Community, has served the network in many tactics and, specifically, in leadership roles with Boy Scout Troop 561. As a former Boy Scout, Key has a hobby to help other young people expand their talents and become productive. citizens.

In recent years, he has spent a great deal of time guiding members of Troop 561 through his Eagle Scout projects. Many of Eagle’s projects have been directed toward the Shoals Community Recreation Center. At least ten of those projects, ranging from the structure of an iron pedestrian bridge that stretches from a small creek in the middle to the structure of a truly extensive picnic shelter, have provided glorious and much-needed additions to the center of the network and the Shoals Community as a whole.

Without Key’s leadership skills, mechanical talents, and willingness to give his non-public time to others, those projects would not have been possible.

As summer draws to a close, the Surry Arts Council’s summer concert series continues, with two exhibitions scheduled for this week, as well as 3 other musical performances for local citizens and the city.

The concert series is set for Wednesdays and Thursdays.

On Wednesday, The Embers with Craig Woolard will be at the Blackmon Amphitheater with an exhibit at 7:30 p. m. m. La next night, Thursday, The Band of Oz will be in concert starting at 8 p. m. m. in the amphitheater.

Tickets will go on sale at the gates one hour before the show. Dairy Center, Thirsty Souls Community Brewing and Whit’s Frozen Custard will be available with concessions.

Those attending exhibits at the Blackmon Amphitheater are encouraged to grab sun loungers, beach chairs or a blanket. For more information, visit www. surryarts. org

Three other performances are scheduled for this week.

Thursday, Bridge Band by Leroy Mack McNees

Friday, at the Earle Historical Theatre, Tim White

Then, on Saturday, The Isaacs will be at the Historic Earle Theatre for a concert at 7:30 p. m.
