Subject: Road Signs

Maybe it’s not so much that people don’t agree with your point of view, but more an issue that road side signs are an eyesore.

Travelling down 15/501 from North Chatham to Pittsboro, we are assailed with signs for karate shops, pro and con political messages, houses for sale, Legend Oaks, Briar Chapel, those running for political offices and on and on.  Then when the mowers come through, the signs are swept into the blades and shredded, thus adding more garbage to the already littered highways.

CHEF CHALLENGE TO RETURN FOR SECOND YEAR

On Leap Day, Chef Colin Bedford gazed at a table full of ingredients ranging from canned cling peaches and whole grain pasta, to local sweet potatoes and fresh spinach in efforts to plan a delicious, healthy meal. He was not designing a menu for his Chatham County restaurant, The Fearrington House, but a new lunch menu for the more than 8000 youth of Chatham County Public Schools.

Subject: Fabulous Food & Fun – Online & at Briar Chapel

Hi All,
 
I saw the post on Friday from Chatham County Together about their March 11 Tapas and Tunes. I can’t wait for the event and I’ve already bought several raffle tickets. I like the new twist this year that raffle tickets can be bought online and you don’t have to attend the event to win the prizes.

Subject: Heads Up! Therapeutic Riding Program

I want to add to those individuals who have sent in praise about Heads Up! Therapeutic Riding Program.  My daughter rides at Heads Up and has also volunteered as a side walker.  It is a great program that is beneficial for so many folks, children and adults alike.  I have been amazed at the increase in self confidence, coordination, and posture since she has been riding.  We are so fortunate to have this program in Chatham County!
