Beaufort’s Downtown Farmers Market is moving to a great new location!
Every Wednesday, from May 16th – October 31st, from 3 – 7 pm, Scott Street will close, between Port Republic and Craven, to welcome local and regional vendors.
Key acquisitions, bold new initiatives and a new leader propel the Beaufort County Open Land Trust into its Fifth Decade.
Anyone who’s ever admired the view from the bluff of the Beaufort River on Bay Street owes the Land Trust a great big “thanks.” Forty-one years ago the seeds of the Trust were sewn among the stately live oaks as a trio of Beaufortonians formed an alliance to thwart a plan to develop the property.
It’s no secret that Beaufort and its environs have inspired – and continue to inspire – a diversity of artists from all over the country, many of whom relocate just for the natural beauty. Now, Joan Templer, one of Beaufort’s most celebrated artists, has rallied the creative community and put together a new exhibition of paintings and photographs highlighting that distinctive beauty.

You want to be an entrepreneur and you want to start a business. How do you get from here (nothing done) to there (on your way, with a goal in clear focus)?
Last week, I had occasion to sing with my choir at the funeral of a long-time member of our church. This happens from time to time. I’m a little odd – and possibly creepy – in that I kind of enjoy these final rites of passage that many attend out of duty, love and respect… but basically dread. Maybe “enjoy” isn’t the right word, exactly. But I always feel privileged to be among those who are mourning the loss of someone dear, privileged to help ease their pain through music, and maybe – in some small way – just through my presence.
