Carolina Tiger Rescue’s popular Twilight Tours run from April through October on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings. Tours are for adults only (guests ages 18 years and older). Twilight tours are a more intimate experience to meet CTR’s animals. During these tours, guests are the only visitors in the sanctuary. The work of the day is done, and the guests have the sanctuary all to themselves. Enjoy a quiet evening with the cats, and you might just be lucky enough to be serenaded by the lions! After all, they are still wild animals! As with all their tours, we cannot guarantee what the cats will do, but it’s hard to have a bad evening with animals.
Your Twilight Tour will last for about 1 ½ hours. Please arrive 15 minutes early. Trained volunteer tour guides will walk you through the animal sanctuary. You will learn about the various species living at Carolina Tiger Rescue and the challenges they face in the wild, as well as the difficulties they encounter in captivity. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and take photos, but please note that there will be no physical contact with the animals.
The upcoming schedule for Twilight Tours is below (weekends only):

August: Fri-Sun, 6pm-7:30pm.
Fri, Sep 5-Fri, Sep 19, 5:30pm-7pm.
Sat, Sep 20-Sun, Oct 12, 5pm-6:30pm.

Advance tickets are required for attendees (no walk-ins available). Tours are offered from April to October on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, rain or shine. The cost is $32 per person, and a maximum of 25 people are allowed to attend each tour. Tickets are available 8 weeks before your visit.

Join Angaea Cuna in the Fair Game Beverage Company wheelhouse for a Papermaking Workshop. Connect with the earth through the ancient and meditative art of papermaking.

Using a blend of Western, Japanese, and Hawaiian techniques, you’ll learn how to create your own 6×9” postcard-sized sheets of paper. This introductory class is ideal for anyone interested in exploring sustainable creativity and natural materials. You’ll learn to beat fibers, make pulp baths, and use a mould and deckle—all skills you can take home and replicate with simple, household tools. By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your own unique handmade papers—rooted in nature and made by your own hands.
Classes are held on the following dates:

Sat, Sep 13, 1pm-3pm.
Sun, Sep 21, 1pm-3pm.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Papermaking is a wet process. Make sure to wear non-slip shoes. Optional: Bring your own waterproof apron.
Due to workshop time restrictions, students will take home wet paper that needs to dry at home.
Inform the instructor of any skin sensitivities (papermaking uses natural fibers and natural solutions).
Students aged 12 and below are not accepted at this time.
Papermaking materials will be provided.

Ticket prices are $115 per person.
ARTIST BIO
Angaea Cuna is a multimedia artist whose practice centers on book arts, fiber arts, and immersive installation. She holds a BFA from the University of California, Los Angeles, and has been awarded numerous exhibitions, fellowships, residencies, and scholarships throughout her creative journey.
For seven years, she worked at the Donkey Mill Art Center, a nonprofit community art space in Hōlualoa, Hawai‘i, where she began exploring the craft of papermaking—a process that has since become a cornerstone of her work. Her recent projects include a month-long artist residency on Moloka‘i, where she studied seaweed and algae that washed ashore. There, she harvested the invasive seaweeds to create handmade paper and bind a one-of-a-kind artist book honoring the spirit and ecology of the nameless fishpond.

In over four decades of performing, Lee’s guitar playing has been featured with rock and roll legends Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, rocker George Thorogood, rockabilly icon Sleepy La Beef, blues divas Koko Taylor and Marcia Ball, L.A. legend Stacy Robin, and scores of talents from coast to coast. His current band, the Bad Dogs, covers a wide range of material from Lowell Fulsom, Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Muddy Waters, and Rufus Thomas, along with many of his own original numbers. Jordan Lawrence of The Independent recently wrote, “If you’re looking for a lesson in how the blues first bled into rock ‘n’ roll, you’ll find a living demonstration in singer-guitarist Lee Gildersleeve.” As Bo Diddley said of Lee, “He gets it.” And you will too.

The Plant presents the 18th Annual PepperFest on Sun, Sep 14, 12pm-6pm. PepperFest is a celebration of sustainable agriculture, local farmers, and the creativity of the Piedmont’s top chefs, brewers, and artisans. The event features peppers grown on-site in the Pepper Patch, a hot sauce contest, a variety of Pepper-Themed food and drinks from The Plant denizens, a chili cook-off, pop-up vendors, live music, and many more pepper-related activities. The average distance traveled by this year’s peppers can be measured as roughly fifty yards.
PepperFest originated in Pittsboro in 2007 to support Doug Jones’s plant breeding work at Piedmont Biofarm. At the first PepperFest, visitors walked through a tent filled with raw pepper samples and filled out surveys on clipboards before they could receive a beer. Doug was licensing his seeds to seed companies, and he needed consumer data to back up his work in pepper genetics.

Touch the pepper patch and physically see the difference between a poblano and a Marconi pepper on the vine. You’ll also see the Scotch Bonnets (Jamaica’s national pepper) before they are picked for dishes served at Kingston 99 Kitchen. You’ll also see how Flying Pepper Vodka is made at Fair Game Beverage Company, using Aji Dulce Tobago peppers grown in The Plant’s pepper patch.
Grab a pepper beer from bmc brewing, food at Kingston 99 Kitchen or JDub’s PoBoys, and wander The Plant’s eclectic campus.
