| Wiener Dog Day | |||
 Long ones, short ones, fast ones, slow ones, old ones, young ones...Dachshunds to gather at Weaver Street Market Oct. 1, 2005
Wiener Dog Day, a gathering of Dachshunds and Dachshund enthusiasts, will be held on the lawn at Weaver Street Market on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2005 from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The gathering, celebrating its fifth year, is expected to draw more than 100 of the tube-shaped canines, in both standard and miniature sizes. Dachshunds are one of the most recognizable breeds, as well as one of the most popular, according to the American Kennel Club. Dachshunds are a playful, loyal breed that, historically, were bred to hunt badgers, following their prey so far into the ground, they had to be dug out of the badger's lair. Now, they "badger" their owners for treats. Weiner Dog Day will include obstacle courses, games and costume contests. Prizes will be awarded in several categories, such as "Fattest Dachshund" and "Longest Dachshund." The family-friendly event is free and open to the public. The Almost Home Dachshund Rescue Society will bring some of their "adoptees" to the festival and donations will be collected from participants to support the dachshund rescue program. "We planned this as a kind of Oktoberfest activity in recognition of the Dachshund's German heritage," said Stacy Smith, event organizer. "We never thought it would grow so fast! It seems that everyone knows a wiener, whether it's in their own family or someone else's." |

| Book Signing! Bread Science: the Chemistry and Craft of Making Bread | |||
 Emily Buehler, a Weaver Street Market bread baker for over five years, has written and published the complete how-to guide to bread baking. Bread Science: the Chemistry and Craft of Making Bread, available now, covers both the practical aspects of making bread, such as shaping a baguette and scoring loaves as they enter the oven, and the science behind the dough. Emily will be signing copies of her book at Weaver Street Market in Southern Village on Friday, September 22 from 5 - 7:30 pm and at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro on Saturday, September 23 from 11 - 2 pm. Emily was one of the driving forces behind the creation of our very popular bread classes cosponsored by the Carrboro Artscenter, as well as WSM's Bread Bakery Open Houses and Community Oven Nights. She wrote a manual for the bread-making class but had trouble finding sources for the information she needed. Since most bread books focus on recipes, they have little room to include details of the process. In addition, she was unhappy with the sources she found on baking science. She decided to write a book devoted entirely to the process of bread-making, bringing together all the information in one source. She hoped to encourage beginners to try making bread and to make the process approachable and fun. On the decision to self-publish, Emily says, "I feared it would take forever to get a publisher to notice me—doing it myself seemed like the best way to get noticed. But now that I have begun the process, I'm not sure I even want a publisher anymore. I've enjoyed having control over the look of my book, having friends help out with it, and it seems to fit with the locally-produced ideal I've come to value." Emily's enthusiasm and energy have led her to take a PhD in chemistry, ride her bike across the country and create a comic strip based of the fanciful character of Poolish girl and her adventures in the bread world. (You'll have to read the book to find out what poolish is.) |

| Alliance for Community Economics | |||
 Working to Build a Living EconomyOver the last several months, a group of business people, academics, and economic development folks in Chapel Hill and Durham have worked together to create the beginnings of the organization called the Alliance for Community Economics (ACE). The Alliance for Community Economics believes that locally owned businesses are a major source of sustainable prosperity for communities, especially when they produce or distribute essential goods that would otherwise have to be imported from outside the region--e.g. energy, food, shelter, clothing, capital, and information. ACE is based on the ideas and principles developed by a national organization, the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE). As part of their start up ACE is sponsoring a visit by Michael Shuman, a co-founder of BALLE, who will be spending 2 days in Durham and Chapel Hill, promoting the ideas in his recently published book, The Small Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses are Beating the Global Competition, which follows his 1998 book, Going Local: Creating Self-Reliant Communities. During his time here, Michael Shuman will be meeting with local community development leaders, featured on WUNC's State of Things radio program, and give two talks open to the public at the Duke Nasher Museum of Art auditorium on September 27th and in Chapel Hill (on the UNC campus) on September 28th. |

| Hillsborough Last Friday Film Series | |||
Please come to the Last Fridays "Filmmaker's Film Series" featuring a program by AV Geeks. The show will be on Friday, September 29th at 8:30 at the King Street Masonic Lodge in downtown Hillsborough across from the old Colonial Inn. Tickets are $5.00 in advance, available on-line at hillsboroughartscouncil.com, or $7.00 at the door. The Hillsborough Arts Council, Weaver Street Market, and Sports Endeavors sponsor this event.
PROGRAM: The Modern Housewife The AV Geeks are proud to present a night of films that were created to sell products to the homemaker. These proto- infomercials would have been shown at women's groups, homemaker extension meetings, trade shows and on television and now offer us a view how advertisers viewed the world of 1950s/60s housewife. Goodbye to Garbage - General Electric - circa early 1960s In this short, our housewife learns about the wonders of the garbage disposal. This film is a favorite with audiences due to the high-speed photography of grapefruit rinds and bone being pulverized. How To Pack A Suitcase -Shell Oil - circa late 1950s Shell Oil's women's travel consultant gives us some handy tips for packing a week's worth of clothing in a single overnight bag. Home is What You Make It - Whirlpool - 1969 This film helps the modern homemaker buy, care for, get service for and get the most out of her modern home appliances for present and future needs while reinforcing the most absurd gender stereotypes. Joy of Living with Fragrance - Avon - circa early 1960s An amazing promotional film that introduces us to the world of perfume and the importance of smelling nice. Those with fragrance allergies may wish to hold their noses during this film. Soft as a Cloud - Dow Chemical - 1955 So you've spent all this money on the latest appliances, but you still aren't happy. Perhaps it is because your water is "old fashioned". This film sells the housewife on buying a water softener for the home even if they already have soft water. Freeze-In - Calvin Corporation for Sears - circa late 1960s Made for Sears appliance salesmen, this film tries to capitalize on the zany format of TV's Laugh-In to introduce the new Kenmore freezer campaign. Even though the film features two of the stars from Laugh-In - Arte Johnson and Judy Carne - it is clear that the director of this ephemeral gem missed the point. It's like watching a train wreck!
