Subject: Roost is Coming Out of Hibernation!

Roost re-opens for the 2012 season on Friday, April 13th with music from The Boys from Carolina!

Set in the middle of the Village Center in a landscaped courtyard, Roost offers a beautiful and tranquil place to share a drink and conversation, and often features live music on the front porch. So find a table under large oak trees or by the water fountain and enjoy a special time with friends and family! Roost also offers a selection of draft beers, wines by the glass selected by Fearrington sommelier Max Kast, bottled ales and water, and nibbles like salted Virginia peanuts.

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: Coyotes

In reference to the Coyote posts….

I live in Fearrington and my neighbors and I have seen and heard the coyotes here regularly now.  There seems to be a pack that can be heard howling in the dusk and evening….we’re all very cautious walking our dogs at night.

Yesterday I saw a large male that seems to have been injured trotting holding his left hind leg, yet unafraid of me out in broad daylight.

Animal control has refused to come.  Not sure how to handle the growing problem.

Does anyone know what the construction project is that’s under way along the east side of 15-501 about a half-mile south of Mt. Gilead Church Road, right where the pipeline crosses the highway? Lots of recent activity there…just curious what it’s all about.

Subject: Good things going on here in Chatham

There’s often a lot of negative talk about our local surroundings, but today I’d like to discuss some “good things” that may get overlooked with all of the daily bickering & chatter.

I’ve had the opportunity of working with several local businesses during my time at the library. I have to say that I’m most impressed with the businesses in this community and their support for our local establishments and organizations.
