Two hikers seek shelter from a winter blizzard in an isolated Maine cabin. They meet a mysterious girl and soon the three share ghost stories, at first fanciful and then suddenly disquieting as the imagined becomes the real.

Performed by students ages 8-13 in our Tanglewood Youth Theatre Production Class: Kids doing theatre for kids!
It’s Junie B.’s first day of first grade, and a lot of things have changed for her: Junie’s friend, Lucille, doesn’t want to be her best pal anymore and, on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Also, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and her teacher, Mr. Scary, thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting!

Author Georgann Eubanks will read from her new book “The Month of Their Ripening: North Carolina Heritage Foods through the Year” at the Celo Inn on Sunday, November 4, at 3:00 p.m. She will be introduced by Abigail DeWitt, whose book “News of our Loved Ones” is just out as well. A portion of the book sales will go to Dig In!
Telling the stories of twelve North Carolina heritage foods, each matched to the month of its peak readiness for eating, Georgann Eubanks takes readers on a flavorful journey across the state. She begins in January with the most ephemeral of southern ingredients, snow. Her very first story is about a January day some years ago when, as a TRAC visiting artist teaching creative writing at East Yancey Middle School, she learned how mountain kids think about snow. (Maybe she’ll read that at the Celo Inn.) In March, she takes a midnight canoe ride on the Trent River in search of shad, a bony fish with a savory history. In November, she visits a Chatham County sawmill where the possums are always first into the persimmon trees.
Talking with farmers, fishmongers, cooks, historians, and scientists, Eubanks looks at how foods are deeply tied to the culture of the Old North State. Some have histories that go back thousands of years. Garlicky green ramps, gathered in April and traditionally savored by many Cherokee people, are now endangered by their popularity in fine restaurants. Oysters, though, are enjoying a comeback, cultivated by entrepreneurs along the coast in December. These foods, and the stories of the people who prepare and eat them, make up the long-standing dialect of North Carolina kitchens. But we have to wait for the right moment to enjoy them, and in that waiting is their treasure.
Georgann Eubanks is a writer, Emmy-winning documentarian, and popular speaker. She is the author of Literary Trails of Eastern North Carolina, Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont, and Literary Trails of the North Carolina Mountains.
There is no charge to attend the reading. Since seating at the Celo Inn is limited, please call 828-675-5132 to reserve a place. The Celo Inn is located just off Rt. 80 S at the corner of Seven Mile Ridge Road.

Before the hustle and bustle of the holidays descends, sink into the quiet and reflective energy of the season — and into the profound relaxation of restorative yoga enhanced by the magic of immersion into vibrational sound.

Downbeat Magazine praised Lazers “exuberant vocals and razor sharp guitar work”. Vintage Guitar magazine featured him as a talent to watch showing off his chops on “tough blues-rockers, soul ballads, and funky Hendrix-inspired rock”.
“Fasten your seatbelts!” wrote 1970s Rolling Stone rock music sage Gary von Tersch of the self-titled “Lazer Lloyd” CD. He added, “I’m impressed by Lazer’s tight compositions”, “deeply expressive writing, plangent vocals and crackerjack guitar and harmonica”.
Elmore Magazine´s Jim Hynes compares him to Santana and Canadian music & arts veteran writer, Bob Mersereau calls him “Muddy Waters on electric steroids.”
