Lots of Turkeys Left! All Weaver Street Market locations will have plenty of fresh, never frozen, all natural turkeys available for purchase today and tomorrow. These turkeys are humanely raised at Plainville Turkey farms on an all-vegetarian diet. They are antibiotic and hormone-free and humanely processed. Turkey sizes range from 10 lbs to 25 lbs, but the small sizes go quick so don't wait! For those shoppers seeking a little help in cooking their Thanksgiving turkey at home, we are offering turkey-roasting kits. These kits include cheesecloth, a basting marinade, and instructions. The kit sells for $5.99 and provides everything that you need to get a turkey into your pan and into your oven. (We also have aluminum turkey pans for sale if you need one of those.) More |

| Sparkling Wine & Food Tasting |
 Monday, December 15, 7 - 9:30 pmJoin us Monday December 15, and explore the amazing world of sparkling wines. What is sparkling wine? Well according to the Oxford Companion to Wine it is "a wine which bubbles when poured into a glass." To many people it is so much more than this simple explanation. Sparkling wine, and more specifically, Champagne, has always been associated with a certain elegance and almost always associated with the occasion of celebration. The mystery of Sparkling wine carries on with the amazing array of styles it comes in. Just the tiniest hint of effervescence can change a simple white wine into something fun and exciting to drink. Sparkling wine can vary as much as still wine; it can be white, pink and even red. It can be made in a sweet style like Italy's Moscato d'Asti, or bone dry like most French Champagnes. Other aspects of sparkling wines can vary immensely, like the alcohol levels and the character and strength of the bubbles themselves. Join us for this exciting tasting and enjoy a vast array of sparkling wines and see just how well these wines match with elegant, delicious dishes from Panzanella Restaurant's kitchen. The cost of this event is $45 per person; space is limited, so reserve early. Please pay in advance and pick up a ticket for this tasting at either Panzanella or the customer service desk at Weaver Street Market in Carrboro. PANZANELLA WINE & FOOD TASTING EVENT INFORMATION Our wine & food tasting events are from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm. Please arrive at 7pm. Our tastings are set up family style, meaning we have several tables set up to seat 8 to 10 people. There is no reserved seating unless you are with a party of 6 or more, and then you'll need to let us know in advance. Family-style also refers to food service; all food is brought out in large platters that are passed around, each portion is a tasting portion, or small plate size. There are six courses served, one is usually a dessert course and there is wine served at each one. Wine servings are 1 1/2 oz with each course. We have a guest speaker at every event that educates and guides the tasting from start to finish. We try to accommodate dietary restrictions, but advance notice is needed. Please inform the person you are buying the ticket from, or email Panzanella, and inform them of your restrictions or allergies. If you need to cancel, please do so with 24 hours notice. |

| The True Story of St. Nick |
 St. Nicholas Speaks!Saturday, December 6, 5:00 pm Weaver Street Market in Hillsborough It's a story of calling and destiny, plague and persecution, and ultimately hope, kindness, and triumph.

He is for people of all ages, and really, not just those who celebrate Christmas. At 5 PM, following the Hillsborough Christmas Parade (December 6, 2008), St. Nicholas Speaks! will be presented at the Weaver Street Market in downtown Hillsborough.

 Working in the Congo for Doctors without BordersTalk by Anna Freeman Sunday December 7, 2008 at CHICLE, 5:00 pm Free and open to the public Anna Freeman recently spent six months working with Medecins Sans Frontieres in Rutshuru, a town in the North Kivu provence of Eastern DRC. The MSF mission was to run a large hospital with a surgical program, a cholera treatment center, and a mobile clinic to serve the population in Rutshuru and the surrounding towns. The people that they served were often victims of violence, sexual violence, preventable diseases, and had been displaced because of fighting in their villages. Freeman will talk about her experience working with an international NGO, working and living in the Congo, learning about and treating the diseases and injuries seen in a third world country in the middle of war, working in a francophone country, and how this all has affected her as she return to the US. Anna will show slides from her work and stay, as well as information about the work of this organization. 101 E Weaver St., 3rd floor, Suite G-1, Carrboro, NC 27510 Ph. 919/933-0398, Fx. 919/933-1142, email. |

 Orange County Waste Convenience Centers
You probably know that Orange County provides great curbside recycling service: metal cans and glass bottles, plastic bottles, mixed paper, and the recently added corrugated cardboard. But the county recycles many more materials at its five "Waste Convenience Centers." These centers have set hours when county residents can drop off regular household garbage. They also have bins for all the usual recyclables, as well as bins for some less usual items: used motor oil and oil filters, antifreeze, automotive and boat batteries, household batteries, electronics (computers, TVs, phones, etc.), large appliances and scrap metal, tires, and clean wood. Four of the sites also accept yard waste and have salvage sheds, where still-good items can be left for others to take. The Waste Convenience Centers are located on Eubanks Road in Chapel Hill*, Ferguson Road at Old Greensboro Road in Chapel Hill*, Bradshaw Quarry Road in Efland, High Rock Road in Efland*, and Highway 86 at Walnut Grove Church Road in Hillsborough*. (*These sites contain a salvage shed and accept yard waste.) They are open from 7AM to 7PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from 7AM to 5PM on Saturdays, and from 1PM to 5PM on Sundays (closed Wednesday). During these times staff are there to assist with questions. These convenience centers are not the County's Recycling Drop Off Sites. The Recycling Drop-Off sites are 24-hour un-staffed sites where residents can bring their ordinary recyclables: glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles, metal/aluminum and aerosol spray cans AND aluminum foil, phonebooks, newspapers and magazines, mixed paper, corrugated cardboard and brown paper bags. Many have covered magazine racks for swapping still-good magazines. These sites are located in Cedar Falls Park, the University Mall parking lot, Meadowmont, Carrboro Plaza, and Hampton Pointe. For directions to any of the sites or more details on the recyclables, visit the County's Waste Management Department website. Information on the Recycling Drop-off Sites is at the top of the page, while info on the Solid Waste Convenience Centers is at the bottom. |

| Help buy a Tractor! | |||
 PLANT@Breeze FarmThe Next Generation of Farmers - People Learning Agriculture Now for Tomorrow Needs a tractor! PLANT@Breeze Farm is an incubator program aimed at developing new farmers. Classes for new farmers run in January and February, teaching students sustainable farming while also building a business plan and a crop plan. Graduating students can implement their plans on land provided for by Breeze or on their own land. This program is a crucial step in creating a sustainable agricultural chain from the current generation of farmers to the next generation. Col. William H. Breeze and his family donated the Breeze Farm property located in Northern Orange County, to NC State's College of Agriculture and Life sciences. A team of experts from the Orange County Cooperative Extension, the Orange County Economic Development Commission, the Center for Environmental Farming Systems, NC State University, NC A&T University, University Field Laboratories and the Agricultural Research Service designed and implemented the program earlier this year. With a number of local farmers expected to retire, it is very important to have a program like PLANT@Breeze helping a new generation learn the skills necessary to sustain our local food system. Local food production is a way of ensuring community self-reliance. Right now, the PLANT@Breeze program desperately needs a tractor. Can you help Weaver Street Market raise $5,000 by January 1 to help buy a tractor for the next generation of farmers? Tractors are used year round for soil prep, soil tillage, mulch application, seeding of cover crops, disking, bush hogging, drilling post holes and more. The Tractor Fund will be a part of our Hope for the Holidays fundraising where part of your purchase of selected Hope for the Holiday items goes toward the purchase of the tractor. Most of the Hope for the Holiday items will go on sale on December 3, however Peacestachios and African Market Baskets will appear sooner. |
