Something Borrowed, Something New at the Carolina Brewery

Tamera Mulanix and Rita Spina know a thing or two about recycling — with a twist. They transform cast off objects into objects of art.

Mulanix says, “There’s nothing I enjoy more than taking a rusty piece of scrap metal and turning into something beautiful. Spina adds, “I find most of the materials in scrap yards, walks in the woods, rural roads and often on my front deck, as people who know my work pass “junque” along.” Along with the comforting food and award-winning beers served up at Pittsboro’s Carolina Brewery, folks will be treated to an exhibit of “Reborn Beauty” in August and September.

Kick Off August With Edsel 500 at the Bynum General Store Friday Night

Join us at the Bynum General Store on Friday, August 1st for a musical thrill ride with Edsel 500.  Their sound is best described as a musical landscape of high-octane barnbuners, slinky blues, country stompers and finger-popping swing.  Music begins at 7 pm and continues until 9 pm. Bring a chair, sit under an open sky and enjoy the music, each other’s company and tasty treats from Barney’s Hot Dogs and Larry’s Famous Cheesecakes.
