SUMMARY:Trails and Treats
DESCRIPTION:Join Chatham Community Library and Friends of the Lower Haw for Trails and Treats on Sat\, May 2\, 10am-11am. Trails and Treats is the first statewide trail guide written by women in NC\, combining two favorite activities – hiking and trail running – with tasty treats that can top off your outdoor adventures. Authors Hollis Oberlies and Palmer McIntyre created this guidebook for people of all ages and abilities who want to plan a fun day exploring our state. They have selected hikes and runs in four general areas of the state – the mountains\, the Triad\, the Triangle\, and the Charlotte area. Often\, there is a trail near your home that will bring joy and gratitude\, and a workout if that’s your goal. The authors have included trail tips to help you plan your adventures\, as well as recommendations for some tasty local places to eat. Their book also includes some of their favorite breakfast and trail snack recipes that are easy to whip up\, tasty\, and nourishing. The authors hope this guide inspires you to try these trails and eats\, and to explore others throughout North Carolina or wherever you go! \nBecause 2026 is the 20th Anniversary of the Haw River Trail\, this event will include a brief presentation by Friends of Lower Haw River about the Haw River State Trail and Chatham County’s local gem\, the Lower Haw River State Natural Area. Friends of Lower Haw River is a member of the trail organizations Friends of Haw River State Trail and the Great Trails State Coalition. The event is free and open to the public. This program is part of the Lower Haw Presents lecture series hosted by Friends of Lower Haw River and co-sponsored by the Chatham Community Library. See more Chatham Sports Alliance Events.

SUMMARY:Kenda Kist - Spring 2026 Trunk Show
DESCRIPTION:Fri\, May 1-Sat\, May 2\, 10am-5pm\, Dovecote will host designer Kenda Kist as part of their Spring 2026 Trunk Show series – perfect for Mother’s Day! Kenda Kist jewelry blends fine materials with thoughtful\, artful design to create pieces that feel both modern and meaningful. Each creation emphasizes quality craftsmanship\, whether it’s a delicately sculpted necklace\, a refined bracelet\, or a standout ring. The line speaks to customers who want jewelry that feels personal and expressive without being overly ornate — pieces that elevate everyday outfits and also hold their own for special occasions. \nDovecote Home and Garden\, Nest\, and Sprout in Fearrington Village hosts trunk shows that afford one-on-one time with designers and opportunities to shop beyond their store offerings. Trunk Shows give you the chance to see an entire collection\, not just what they bring in for the store\, which means it is the only time that 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.

Free parking is available on-site. The space is wheelchair accessible. No pets allowed. Fearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.

As the evening goes on\, the couple ends up in a heated argument that sends Asa to sleep out in their garage apartment for the first time in twenty-five years of marriage. The next morning\, he wakes to blue sky and an altered world.    \nUnfolding over a few tense weeks and told from multiple points of view\, this novel explores how a tragedy can assume as many shapes as the people it touches. Asa finds himself reckoning with torn feelings about his marriage and confusion about how to proceed in his complicated relationships with his adult children. As he gradually absorbs revelations—so much he didn’t know or understand during his long marriage—he finds himself drawn uneasily toward a new world\, one in which he must shed much of his old identity if he is to survive and\, more important\, rededicate himself to being a father.  \nAUTHOR BIO \nTommy Hays is an acclaimed Southern writer\, whose fiction grows out of his emotional connections to places he’s lived and known—Greenville\, South Carolina; Asheville\, North Carolina; and Atlanta. His novels are The Pleasure Was Mine\, In the Family Way\, Sam’s Crossing\, and YA novel What I Came to Tell You. He has published stories\, profiles\, and book reviews in magazines\, newspapers\, and literary journals such as Redbook\, Our State\, The Atlanta Constitution\, The Charlotte Observer\, Smoky Mountain Living\, Still: The Journal\, The Chattahoochee Review\, and storySouth. The winner of many literary awards\, he is the founder and former Executive Director of the Great Smokies Writing Program\, UNC Asheville’s community writing program\, as well as Lecturer Emeritus in the Master of Liberal Arts program.

Then\, there will be a short presentation of the public artwork also made for this project (based on community-generated\, greenway-related bird data!)\, followed by a Q&A with the artist. \nThis free community event takes place outdoors. Participants will meet at the S. Small Street entrance to the greenway. Please be mindful of neighbors’ lawns and driveways when parking. Bring your smartphone and headphones/earbuds! You will access the audio project on your phone and listen to it through your headphones while walking the greenway together. Make sure to bring a water bottle and shoes you can walk in! Robeson Creek Greenway is accessible for wheelchairs and strollers; it is paved and relatively flat. \nParking is available along S. Small Street\, or you can use the public parking lot at Main Street Station. Please cross East Street (Business 64) if you choose to park there. The S.

Lammie Timmons got the best news of her life on a Monday morning. Cubby Tatum\, the man she had loved since she was five years old\, was coming home to Littleboro after twenty years away. Could a series of small fires that escalate have anything to do with the two reuniting?

She lives and writes in Chatham County\, inspired by her native landscape\, her husband\, and her dogs. Her favorite word is “gratitude.”

SUMMARY:Stories in Blue: A Community Indigo Project
DESCRIPTION:Join the Chatham Arts Council for Stories in Blue: A Community Indigo Project on Sun\, May 3\, 10am-3pm at the Chatham County Arts Center. Stories in Blue: A Community Indigo Project with Deena Class brings community members together through the shared wonder of indigo—how this one plant pigment has been worked with by cultures all over the world for thousands of years. \nThe project will culminate in free public workshops\, and participants will pre-register so that Deena can ensure adequate space\, supplies\, and materials. These workshops will take place in April 2026 and lead to the unveiling of the community indigo quilt in May 2026. During the workshops\, each participant will dye two fabric squares—one to take home and one to contribute to the community quilt—and each person will also receive an indigo seedling (Persicaria tinctoria) to nurture at home. In addition\, community members can attend free drop-in quilt-making sessions at the Chatham Parks and Rec Arts Center in downtown Pittsboro on May 3\, where they will piece and quilt the indigo creation together (no sewing experience necessary). Through the quilt\, the seedlings\, and the stories participants share\, the project will carry forward the idea that indigo belongs to everyone. It will honor indigo not only as a color or craft\, but also as a living thread that runs through generations and across cultures\, continents\, and communities. \nThis free community event takes place indoors. Free parking is available on-site. See more Chatham Arts Council events.
