SUMMARY:Tripleheader Trunk Show at Dovecote
DESCRIPTION:Fri\, Mar 27-Sat\, Mar 28\, 10am-5pm\, Dovecote will host Alexis Mack\, who returns to feature KMJ\, Farylina\, and Rose & Crown. It’s the perfect time to spruce up your wardrobe! \nKMJ \nKMJ shirts are defined by quiet luxury and their commitment to sustainability. Clean lines\, refined tailoring\, and exceptional fabrics come together in a piece that feels considered in every detail. Designer Kate takes vintage men’s shirts and “feminizes” them for the modern woman. \nFARYLINA \nFarylina is defined by refined femininity\, artisanal detail\, and a sense of effortless elegance that feels both timeless and personal. The collection features soft silhouettes\, rich textures\, and thoughtful craftsmanship that reward close attention\, making each piece feel considered rather than mass-produced. Designed for women who value beauty\, quality\, and subtle distinction\, Farylina offers clothing that feels special without feeling precious\, pieces you reach for again and again because they fit beautifully into real life. \nROSE & CROWN \nRose & Crown is a modern heritage clothing line rooted in classic British style and elevated through thoughtful design and exceptional materials. Each piece is crafted with a focus on fit\, fabric\, and longevity\, blending traditional silhouettes with a clean\, contemporary sensibility. \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.

SUMMARY:Beginning Brewing Class with bmc
DESCRIPTION:Join bmc brewing for a Beginning Brewing Class on Sun\, Mar 15\, 12pm-4pm. In this hands-on class\, you’ll help create a full one-barrel batch: “mash” in\, stir like you mean it\, toss hops with confidence\, with a front-row seat to the beautiful chaos that is brew day. Between steps\, they’ll take you on a tour of the brewery\, show you how everything works\, and probably overshare a few brewers’ secrets you didn’t ask for but will definitely appreciate. They love questions – especially the weird ones. \nAnd the best part: once your beer finishes fermenting and conditioning\, you’ll come back to take home your share of the very batch you helped create. It’s like a science project\, but with results you can drink! Come ready to learn\, laugh\, and get your hands a little sticky. Brewing is messy\, magical\, and just the right amount of unhinged — especially when you’re doing it bmc brewing. Tickets are $40 per person\, and space is limited to 10 people\, so grab your tickets now before they run out! \nbmc brewing is part of The Plant. See all events at The Plant. Part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.

SUMMARY:Con Lehane\, The Red Scare Murders
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Con Lehane\, The Red Scare Murders in Conversation with Eryk Pruitt on Sat\, Jan 17\, 2pm-3pm. This wry\, big-hearted noir brings 1950s New York to life\, from the tenements of Hell’s Kitchen to the mansions of Riverdale\, from Sing Sing to City Hall\, with a gripping murder mystery laying bare the explosive conflicts between its big wheels\, its working stiffs\, its gangsters\, and its dreamers. \nBOOK SUMMARY \nJuly 1950: Mick Mulligan has just hung out his shingle as a private investigator in New York’s sweaty Hell’s Kitchen. A former Hollywood cartoonist who was blacklisted during a communist witch hunt\, Mick is broke\, divorced\, and in need of a paying gig to make his child support payments. But maybe not this gig. First off\, it’s impossible. Worse\, it’s liable to get him killed. \nLast year\, universally reviled cab company owner Irwin Johnson was murdered. One of his drivers\, an African American Communist Party member named Harold Williams\, was arrested\, tried\, and found guilty\, despite scant evidence. Now his execution date is two weeks away. New York City labor leader Duke Rogowski asks Mick to find fresh evidence that might buy Harold a stay of execution. \nLots of people might have wanted Irwin Johnson dead—anyone from his betrayed wife to his jilted mistresses’ jealous husbands to the mafiosi he was stealing business from. But no one has any reason to help Mick exonerate Harold Williams\, and some of Irwin’s former associates are happy to take a blunt object to the head of anyone asking awkward questions. Yet Mick can’t abandon a potentially innocent man to the electric chair. Can he pull off a miracle? \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nCon Lehane is a mystery writer\, living in Washington\, DC. He is the author of The Red Scare Murders (Soho Press\, 2025)\, as well as the 42nd Street Library mysteries\, featuring Raymond Ambler\, curator of the library’s (fictional) crime fiction collection. He’s also the author of three mysteries featuring New York City bartender Brian McNulty\, and has published short stories in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. Over the years\, he has been a college professor\, union organizer\, and labor journalist\, and has tended bar at about two dozen bars. He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in fiction writing from Columbia University School of the Arts and teaches writing at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda\, Maryland. \nEryk Pruitt is a screenwriter\, author\, and filmmaker living in Durham\, NC\, with his wife Lana and his cat Busey. In 2011\, he wrote and produced the short film FOODIE\, which won eight top awards at more than 16 film festivals. Since then\, he has written several others\, including KEEPSAKE\, LIYANA\, ON COMMAND\, and THE HOODOO OF SWEET MAMA ROSA. Pruitt’s short fiction has appeared in The Avalon Literary Review\, Thuglit\, Pulp Modern\, and Zymbol\, among others\, and in 2014 was a finalist for a Derringer Award. His novels DIRTBAGS and HASHTAG are available in print\, audio\, and electronic formats. His latest novel\, WHAT WE RECKON\, was released on October 10th\, 2017. “If there’s one thing I want to do\, it’s tell a good story. Horror\, noir\, suspense…Film\, stage\, page…To me\, all that matters is the story. I’ll tell you one at the bar over a bourbon or in a packed movie house during a film festival. Life is short; in the end\, all that remains are the stories.” \nThis free event takes place indoors at McIntyre’s Books. The space is ADA-compliant. Free parking is available on-site.

SUMMARY:Welcome to Death Faire: Love\, Loss\, and Healing in a Small Southern Town
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Welcome to Death Faire: Love\, Loss\, and Healing in a Small Southern Town on Sat\, Jan 17\, 11am-12pm. Come celebrate life\, death\, and everything in between. With reverence and rebellion\, this soulful gathering of hearts will feature readings from a dozen of the 35 contributors\, who will share glimpses from the page\, weaving personal stories that speak to love\, grief\, and the spaces in between. Expect a swirl of live music\, a sermon-like reflection on grief\, grace\, and the human heart. It’s the kind of conversation that lingers long after the lights go out. Whether you carry grief\, care for the dying\, walk beside someone in sorrow\, or simply long to explore life’s impermanence with an open heart\, this evening and this book welcome you. Come curious. Leave changed. \nIn our small Southern town of Pittsboro\, North Carolina\, something extraordinary happens each year. Born from heartbreak and transformed by community\, Death Faire at The Plant has become a beloved annual event where community gathers to face what our culture so often avoids: death. Through a soul-stirring day of music\, art\, poetry\, ritual\, culture\, and shared wisdom\, Death Faire invites you to celebrate and honor the full cycle of life and death. It’s messy. It’s beautiful. It’s unapologetic. \nNow\, a decade later\, that spirit has been poured into a book: Welcome to Death Faire—a mosaic of personal stories\, images\, essays\, and poetry\, that creates space where death is no longer hidden in the shadows. Published by Tami Schwerin\, this beautiful book—like Death Faire itself—encourages you to challenge the stories we tell ourselves about death and to embrace it as an integral part of living a full life. \nThis free event takes place indoors at McIntyre’s Books. The space is ADA-compliant. Free parking is available on-site. No pets are allowed. Fearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.

SUMMARY:Libby Buck\, Port Anna
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Libby Buck\, Port Anna on Sat\, Nov 22\, 11am-12pm. This enchanting debut novel\, exploring second chances and blossoming romance in a charming port town in Maine\, is perfect for fans of J. Courtney Sullivan’s The Cliffs and Catherine Newman’s Sandwich. \nBOOK SUMMARY \nJust about everything has gone wrong for Gwen Gilmore over the past year. She’s lost her mother\, her teaching job\, and been dumped by her—albeit not that great—long-term boyfriend. Adrift and out of options\, she packs her life into her barely functioning car and makes the lonely drive north\, to the only place she can think of going: her family’s aging cottage on the Maine coast\, Periwinkle\, which she’s recently inherited. \nThe cottage and Port Anna\, the foggy Maine town of Gwen’s childhood\, are unchanged in many ways. For Gwen\, they are full of the ghosts of her past—boyfriends\, forgotten creative dreams\, and painful memories of a sister lost too young. Periwinkle is also home to some more literal ghosts: The Misses\, friendly spirits who have long watched over the cottage\, but who now seem strangely unsettled\, slamming doors and moving furniture in the night. And behind its charming façade\, Port Anna has not escaped the realities of modern life. Family homes are being razed to make space for garish condos\, the cottage\, coveted by a relentless local realtor\, is about to be condemned\, and the unsolved disappearance of a teenage girl has set the town on edge. On the face of it\, it’s an odd place to try to make a new start. \nBut there are glimmers of hope everywhere\, if only Gwen can open herself up to possibility. Sparks fly with Leandro\, an Argentinian artist\, as aloof and witty as he is wildly attractive. Old friends and former flames come out of the woodwork\, bringing with them new opportunities and chances to laugh again. Even in the face of potential happiness\, though\, it seems some secrets refuse to stay buried. As the summer crowds return to the city and the locals hunker down for another harsh Maine winter\, Gwen will be forced to make choices that will change her life forever. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nLibby Buck earned a PhD in art history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She and her husband share three daughters\, an English cocker spaniel\, and an abiding love for the great state of Maine. Port Anna is Libby’s first novel. \nFearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail. See more events at Fearrington Village.
