Local Goodie! Perry-winkle Farm Perry-winkle Farm is much in the news these days with "Potluck in a Pasture" at their farm and as the feature farm for our first "Farm Dinner" night at Panzanella. Mike Perry and Cathy Jones have been farming since the mid-eighties. Over the years they have become known for their beautiful, fresh garlic in the spring, potatoes in early summer and wonderful wild flowers all season long. Mike's love of potatoes pushed them to be the first in our area to offer heirloom and specialty variety potatoes at the Farmers' Markets. Cathy's wild edible flower mix is unique at the market and brings color and an exotic flair to salads. On Thursday, June 29, Panzanella's menu will feature produce from Perry-winkle Farm. This event is co-sponsored by Slow Food USA and is designed to help diners tune into the richness of local flavors and the variety of foods grown near-by. More |

| After Hours Every Thursday! | |||
 On the Weaver Street Market lawn in Carrboro, 6-8 pmAfter Hours is back and hotter than ever! Come prepared for picnicking, dancing, wine or beer tasting, and lots of fun! Local charitable groups will once again be providing freshly grilled picnic fare to purchase. Or choose from an expanded array of Hot Bar meals made daily in our very own kitchen. Weaver Street Market loves to see people enjoying our lawn and connecting with their community. To keep this event a safe and fun place, we ask that you only bring friendly, well-behaved dogs on leashes and please clean up after them. We want the children who attend our event to have a safe and happy time too, so we ask that they not be allowed to climb the trees, including the Crepe Myrtles. Lastly, please enjoy the fountain from its perimeter. Thank you for your help in making this event safe and fun for everyone. June 22 - Brown Mountain Lights - pop twang with bluegrass sensibilities June 29 - Contrazz - jazz/fusion July 6 - The Guilty Pleasures - traditional American music July 13 - Armand & Bluesology - house rockin' music After Hours & the ALE Regulations We know how much fun it is to sit on the lawn and drink some beers, but unfortunately North Carolina law forbids Weaver Street Market from selling six packs for consumption outside. You can buy beer by the glass outside at the tasting table, singles, or half-gallon Growlers from Carolina Brewery, but please—be kind to our cashiers and don't buy a six pack to take outside. Carrboro Parks Project is Cooking at After Hours this Week What's the Carrboro Parks Project all about? Improving the parks and open spaces in Carrboro, the most densely populated town in the state! We've fenced our dog park and shaded our playground at the Town Commons. Now we're rallying for a state-of-the-art tennis backboard for the community courts at Wilson Park. Families of all ages will enjoy practicing and playing tennis together. For more info or to tell us your ideas, visit us at www.carrboroparks.org! |

ChathamArts "Potluck in a Pasture" at Perry-winkle Farm!
Meet local artists and visit a farm as part of ChathamArts "Potluck in a Pasture" series of Sunday evening picnic suppers. The series celebrating local farmers and artists continues Sunday June 25 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Perry-winkle Farm, owned by Cathy Jones and Michael Perry. Participating artists include award-winning actress and director Ellen Bland ("The Millworker"), watercolorist El Tremblay, furniture and guitar maker Paul Harrell, graphic artist Emma Skurnick, and musicians Jordan Puryear, Robert Mitchener and Rae Bland. Visitors are asked to bring a pot-luck dish for eight that includes at least one locally grown ingredient (and recipe to share stating origins of local items), as well as a beverage, a lawn chair or blanket, and a $10 donation to ChathamArts, the non-profit county arts council that supports diverse arts and cultural programs throughout the year. Proceeds for each supper will benefit a different ChathamArts program. The June 25 supper will benefit the Public Art Program. For directions and additional information, visit the ChathamArts website at www.chathamarts.org (Pets are requested to stay home due to the loose farm animals!) Local food ingredients for your potluck contribution to the supper may come from your own backyard or neighboring farms, from local farmers' markets at the Chatham County Fairgrounds (Thursdays), Fearrington Village (Tuesdays), Southern Village (Thursdays) and Carrboro (Wednesdays and Saturdays), or from Weaver Street Market in Southern Village and Carrboro, and the new Chatham Marketplace in Pittsboro. The potluck series will continue with a Victorian Garden Party flair on July 30 at Celebrity Dairy, owned by Britt and Fleming Pfann near Silk Hope. The July 30 supper will take place rain or shine, the June 25 supper will be cancelled if the weather is bad (call 967-3716 to check after 1 p.m. on the day of the event). Artists and farmers interested in participating in the series should contact Daryl Walker at dfwalker99@hotmail.com. If you are unable to attend but would like to support the Public Art Program, please send a check to ChathamArts, Box 418, Pittsboro NC 27312. ChathamArts presents and promotes the arts through the schools and community, cultural events throughout the year, and exhibits and sales of local artists' work at ChathamArts Gallery in historic downtown Pittsboro.
