This weekend in NC.....





The weekend is around the corner.  Here's a little this 'n that about what is going on in North Carolina!  Can you believe it is already the weekend before the 4th?!?!?!

If the heat is getting to you head to Asheville to the play The Great American Trailer Park.  A comedy about, well, here's what the New Yorker said -

This wheel-spinning, mud-splattering good time of a show is the theatrical equivalent of a bag of Doritos – it’s thrillingly trashy! When Pippi, the stripper on the run, comes between the Dr. Phil–loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband at Florida’s most exclusive trailer park, the storms begin to brew. “More fun than a chair-throwing episode of Jerry Springer set to music.” —The New Yorker.

Outdoor Fireworks Concert:  Kacey Musgraves

The High Country is in full swing this weekend with An Appalachian Summer.  On Saturday you can catch country recording artist, Kacey, Musgraves.  This series is held on the campus of Appalachian State University.  It really has something for everyone.  Click here for more information!

On my list of summer to-do's is a tour with the Yadkin River Keeper.  This weekend the River Keeper is taking folks on kayak tour in Wilkes County.  This is a 16.1 mile paddle that will include the option to camp at W. Kerr Scott Reservoir and Bandit's Roost.  Don't worry the 16.1 miles are broken into two days!  Click here for more information.  P.S. At A Brownie World, we love camping at W. Kerr Scott!

Hello Raleighwood!   The highly acclaimed movie, Bird Man, will be shown outdoors at the NC Museum of Art this weekend!  Click here to get the deets!



Love Old Hollywood?  Ava Gardner, the beautiful actress who was born and bred in Smithfield, North Carolina, will have her beautiful clothing collection on exhibit this weekend.  Gardner was a classy Hollywood actress during the 1940's and 50's.



Southport is one of my favorite seaside towns.  Oh you've probaby been there, thanks to all the shows and movies that have been filmed there (Nicholas Sparks loves that place, ya'll!)  They go all out for a week to celebrate July 4th!  Beginning Saturday the town will start all the fun festivities.  Be sure to check it out if you're in the area!

And over in Winston - catch the Dash as they take on the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.  Yes for some of us it is the closest to the beach we're getting for quite a while....

Ok back to my delicious watermelon....gahhhh I love summer!
