Apparently where I live you can get pickles, eggs, chickens, and cows.....at first I thought it said poison for pickles. LOL |
Winston-Salem - Happy birthday to our local gem, Krispy Kreme! Bailey Park, 9a-12noon on Saturday is the birthday party and you are invited. Tons of fun and donuts. We went last year, its crowded but fun!
Salisbury - Time to shop in Historic Downtown Salisbury. Krazy Klearance Sidewalk Sale and Karnival (yes I know those are C words but this is Salisbury we're talking about, just kidding!) Come out on Saturday from 1p-9p for great deals in the Downtown Shops and fun for the family.
Spruce Pine Bluegrass & BBQ Festival - Beginning on Friday Spruce Pine is hosting a BBQ contest and bluegrass festival. Entry to the festival is free but there are some charges for the music areas. This project is sponsored by the local Rotary Club and money raised will go to their various charities. You may want to head to Mitchell County to cool off if the 90 degree temps don't suit you.
King's Mountain - History buffs this is for you! Liberty Mountain is a powerful war drama that is focused around a battle that changed the shape of the Revolutionary War. The production will be presented this weekend. Tickets are $15. After you enjoy that then head to the Beach Blast for beach music bands, water fun, watermelon contests, vendors, and fun. It's Myrtle Beach a couple hundred miles inland!
China Grove - Oooohhhh ohhhh China Grove....sing a long. Saturday in China Grove (see you can go to Salisbury and then go to China Grove because they are close together, two for one, score!) is the 33rd Annual Farmer's Day. It may just be worth the drive for the Little Mr. & Mrs. Farmer Contest.
Benson - You don't have to look for Copperhead Road just go to Johnston County and check out one of North Carolina's premier Moonshine Distilleries. Broadslab Distillery offers $12 tours that include the history and science of moonshine making and you get some freebies in return. Restrictions apply.
