3rd Annual NC Stars In the Round: A Shakori Hills Community Arts Center Fundraiser to Buy the Land
Silk Hope, NC – On Saturday, August 18th, The Shakori Hills Community Arts Center will be holding its 3rd Annual North Carolina Stars in the Round Fundraiser. All funds from the event will go toward the purchase of the land on which
many Shakori Hills events are held. Once the organization owns the land, they will have more freedom and infrastructure to carry on their mission of being a center for arts education and community building for Chatham County and beyond.
The event is highlighted by a singer-songwriter circle featuring Andrew Marlin (<http://www.mandolinorange.com/>of Mandolin Orange), <http://hobex.inhousetickets.com/info.php?i=2987>Greg Humphreys (of Hobex), <http://www.reverbnation.com/lynnblakey>Lynn Blakey (of Tres Chicas), Christy Smith (of <http://thetenderfruit.bandcamp.com/>The Tender Fruit), <http://lizzy.net/>Lizzy Ross, <http://www.reverbnation.com/randydeanwhitt>Randy
Dean Whitt, <http://crysmatthews.com/>Crys Matthews, and <http://www.reverbnation.com/bigalhall>Alex Hall. Each songwriter will share their unique musical talents one song at a time, then pass the mic to the next. With this lineup of unique musicians, there should be some very special musical moments.
After the circle, Chapel Hill’s <http://www.reverbnation.com/theayrmountaineers>The Ayr Mountaineers will share their summery brand of sweet Americana. This band has been coming to Shakori Hills in some form since the beginning,
and the SHCAC is excited to have them as part of their musical family.
There will be pizza from the Shakori Hills Pizza Shack, beer from Carolina Brewery, local ice cream, and the Lil’ Coffee Barn will be open with coffee and snacks. This is a family-friendly event (kids 12 and under are free), and all are
welcome to camp overnight on Saturday.
Sponsors include Universal Printing, Carolina Brewery, Chatham Marketplace, Larry’s Beans, Ninth Street Bakery, and moreŠ
