BOOK SUMMARY
The Magician opens in a provincial German city at the turn of the twentieth century, where the boy, Thomas Mann, grows up with a conservative father, bound by propriety, and a Brazilian mother, alluring and unpredictable. Young Mann hides his artistic aspirations from his father and his homosexual desires from everyone. He is infatuated with one of the richest, most cultured Jewish families in Munich, and marries the daughter, Katia. They have six children. On a holiday in Italy, he longs for a boy he sees on a beach and writes the story Death in Venice. He is the most successful novelist of his time, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, a public man whose private life remains secret. He is expected to lead the condemnation of Hitler, whom he underestimates. His oldest daughter and son, leaders of Bohemianism and of the anti-Nazi movement, share lovers. He flees Germany for Switzerland, France, and, ultimately, America, living first in Princeton and then in Los Angeles. In this “exquisitely sensitive” (The Wall Street Journal) novel, Tóibín has crafted “a complex but empathetic portrayal of a writer in a lifelong battle against his innermost desires, his family, and the tumultuous times they endure” (Time), and “you’ll find yourself savoring every page” (Vogue).

Chatham Yardbirds vs Carolina Yankees
2026-06-12 19:00 - 20:00 | Paul Braxton Park, 111 S 3rd Avenue, Siler City, 27344, United States
Come out for a night of baseball and watch Chatham Yardbirds vs Carolina Yankees at the new Chatham Yardbirds field in Paul Braxton Park on the following dates:

Wed, May 27, 7pm-10pm First Home Game of the Season!
Fri, Jun 12, 7pm-10pm.

Gates typically open about an hour before first pitch. The team plays an Old North State League schedule against opponents from across North Carolina and southern Virginia, with most games on weekday evenings and weekend afternoons or nights. Tickets are general admission and inexpensive, so families tend to show up in groups, find seats close to the action, and stay through the seventh-inning stretch.
The pace is the appeal. Wood bats sound different from the metal you hear at most amateur fields, the players are all college athletes spending their summer chasing reps, and the gap between the action and the crowd is small enough that you can hear the catcher talking. Between innings, the staff runs the kinds of small-park promotions that summer collegiate league has built its reputation on: t-shirt tosses, on-field contests, kids chasing foul balls in the gravel. If one of those players is staying with a host family two streets over, you might see him at the diner the next morning. That’s the trade summer ball makes for not being a major-league night out: you get closer to the game, and closer to the people playing it.
Visiting from out of town? Pair a Yardbirds game with dinner in downtown Siler City beforehand, or a slow drive home through Chatham County’s farm roads after the final out.
Weather
Pack layers for night games, as central North Carolina evenings can drop into the 60s in early summer. Summer thunderstorms are routine in the Piedmont, and games can be delayed, suspended, or postponed. Check the Yardbirds’ Instagram, Facebook, or website on iffy weather days before driving out. The team sets refund and rain-check policies.
Logistics
On-site and street parking will be available. This event takes place outdoors, and the field is lighted for evening games. A concession stand operates at the complex with standard ballpark fare. This is a family-friendly event, with group tickets available. Bring sunscreen, a hat, a light layer for night games, a water bottle (non-glass), cash, a card for concessions and merch, and of course, your glove! See more Chatham County Yardbirds games.

Forest Tinkering Camp at Sun Star Farm is a small group of 12 campers led by 2 counselors. Forest Tinkering Camp is very different from Tinkering School’s format. Campers spend most of the day in the forest based in the camp’s new shelter, learning and developing a variety of outdoor skills: flint-knapping to make arrowheads, chopping wood for daily campfires used for cooking, gathering native plants, making fishing nets, building a water filtration system, whittling sticks into tools, improving in archery, and telling stories of yesteryear. As for projects, they will be mostly individual. Campers will need a certain level of maturity and be able to follow instructions to work and play safely in this environment.
They save 4 spots for girls during the registration period, so they end up with a nice ratio of boys to girls. If any of the “girl” spots are not taken by March 1st, they open them to boys on the waitlist. There is a 6:1 counselor-to-camper ratio. This camp is for children ages 9-12.
Camp is $499/week. Early care starts at 8am and is $35/week. Aftercare runs from 3pm-5:30pm and is $125/week. A monthly payment plan is available at checkout.
