Fun Scrap Exchange Event at SV! On Saturday, May 5, from noon to 2 pm, The Scrap Exchange will be at Weaver Street in Southern Village with barrels full of materials from which you can fashion Mother's Day gifts and other works of art. It doesn't cost a penny and all of the materials are items that would otherwise have gone into the landfill. The Scrap Exchange, which has a store and Creative ReUse Center at 548 Foster Street in Durham, has collected over 3,000 tons of waste and surplus materials from industry, business, and individuals since it was founded in 1991. It sells the materials to artists and other shoppers, hosts workshops at the store and in the community, and promotes the work of artists who use recycled materials. More |

| Tuba Day | |||
 Weaver Street Market in Carrboro Friday, May 4, 2:00-5:00 The Triangle Tuba Quartet (TTQ) was founded in 1998 when several of the members heard their first tuba quartet at the US Army Band Tuba-Euphonium Conference and decided to form a local group. The TTQ consists of two Euphoniums (sometimes called Baritone Horns), and two tubas (usually a small F tuba and a larger BBb tuba). This unique instrumentation delivers a rich sound that simply needs to be enjoyed in person to appreciate. We enjoy performing a variety of musical styles, from arrangements of classical Bach, Mozart, and Haydn pieces, to modern American music with a jazz or Latin feel. The TTQ currently plays in a variety of Triangle settings, including banquets, music festivals, church services, nursing homes, and weddings. |
