SUMMARY:Reqins 2026 Trunk Show at Dovecote
DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Feb 6-Sat\, Feb 7\, 10am-5pm\, Dovecote will host designer Reqins as part of their 2026 Trunk Show series. You’ll be able to browse and order from the full spectrum of colors and styles\, including those hard-to-find sizes we rarely see. From classic ballerinas to chic loafers and more\, it’s a wonderful opportunity to find just the right pair. Reqins is a French footwear house known for refined design\, precision craftsmanship\, and exceptional comfort. Each pair is expertly made in Spain from high-quality leathers\, with soft linings and a flexible construction designed for all-day wear. The brand is especially celebrated for its ballerinas and loafers\, which combine elegant silhouettes with thoughtful technical details\, such as supple uppers\, cushioned insoles\, and lightweight soles. The result is footwear that feels as good as it looks\, elevated\, timeless\, and impeccably made. \nDovecote Home and Garden\, Nest\, and Sprout in Fearrington Village hosts trunk shows that offer one-on-one time with designers and provide opportunities to shop beyond their in-store offerings. Trunk Shows give you the chance to see an entire collection\, not just what they bring in for the store\, so it is the only time some sizes and colors are available in certain styles. Chatting with a rep or designer – the experts – gives you the best insight into what styles and sizes are perfect for you\, so you can be sure you’re getting pieces that you’ll treasure forever. Fearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail. See more events at Fearrington Village.

You might craft using found and natural objects\, create Andy Goldsworthy-style outdoor art installations with leaves\, rocks\, and thorns\, and explore ancient technologies like atlatls. You might track animals\, study scat\, look for the earliest signs of spring\, and figure out what bugs are doing when it’s really cold.\nCarpentry is limited to a maximum of six campers and to campers ages 12 and older. Many structures around camp\, including the games shed\, lost-and-found shed\,  and many picnic tables and benches\, were built by campers themselves! In the Carpentry Focus Group\, campers will build benches and signs for current and future campers.

Homeschool Camp serves children and teens ages 8-16. They accept older campers who are interested in their Focus Group topics. They also accept younger campers on a case-by-case basis. Parents\, adults\, and older teens are also needed as Counselors or Volunteers. Parent volunteers at Homeschool camp do so much to make this program fantastic! \nCamp at Clapping Hands Farm takes place outdoors for the most part. They generally run camp in all weather conditions unless there are hazardous driving conditions or it is cold AND wet. In other words\, if it’s raining and 70 degrees\, they will have camp. If it’s 30 degrees and not raining\, we will have camp. But if it’s 40 degrees and raining\, they will skip camp and use their weather make-up day (either Tue\, Feb 19 or Tue\, Feb 26).
