Holiday Bazaar at Bynum Front Porch
2025-11-29 10:00 - 14:00 | Bynum General Store, 950 Bynum Rd, Bynum, NC, 27228, United States
Get ready for the annual Holiday Bazaar at Bynum Front Porch on Sat, Nov 29, 10am-2pm. The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Bynum wakes up with a sparkle in the air. Down by the old general store, the front porch is strung with garland and twinkle lights, and the smell of Bynum’s famous chicken cracker stew drifts out to meet the crowd.
It’s Holiday Bazaar day, and the place hums like a hive. Inside, tables are stacked with local treasures — hand-thrown pottery still warm from the kiln, jewel-toned scarves, hand-poured soaps wrapped in brown paper, and framed photographs that catch the Haw River in every season. Paintings lean in little clusters, each one carrying the signature of a neighbor you’ve probably shared a laugh with. Shoppers drift from table to table, warm cider in one hand, gift list in the other.
Outside, the Bynum Front Porch Pickers are in full swing. Banjo, fiddle, guitar — the music rolls out over the lawn, spilling into the street where folks line up for hot stew, talking and laughing in puffs of white breath.
And just steps from the front porch, another tradition is in full gear — Christmas tree pickup. Trucks and SUVs pull in and out, loading up fresh-cut pines that will soon stand in living rooms all over Chatham County. You can smell them even from the porch, sharp and green, blending with the scent of stew and cider until the whole town smells like the holidays.

Grief and Cacao with heart2heartnc

Join Yoga Garden PBO for Grief and Cacao with heart2heartnc on Sat, Nov 29, 1:30pm-3:30pm. Cacao, hailed as the Food of the Gods, is at the center of this heart-opening experience. This raw, unprocessed form of cocoa has been used in ceremony and ritual by many cultures for centuries. It has a unique ability to stimulate blood flow and focus on the heart rather than the nervous system. Enriched with tryptophan, a serotonin precursor, pure cacao can also lead to a heightened sense of well-being and relaxation.
Led by the heart2heart team and guided by experienced facilitator Brooksie Edwards, this ceremony is a profound exploration of processing and integrating grief and love in their myriad forms. Joining Brooksie are Lolly Dunlap and Amy Durso, weaving a tapestry of music and chanting throughout the ceremony. They invite sharing, breathwork, movement, meditation, and a serene period of relaxation and renewal.
This ceremony serves as a grounding experience, inviting you to open your heart, fostering a deeper connection with yourself and the world, and facilitating the internal processing and release of grief that may reside within. In this sacred space, all forms of grief are acknowledged and welcomed. The cost is $55 per person, with a partial scholarship option available for $30. Please choose your option at checkout.
heart2heart is a non-profit that offers holistic services to individuals, families, and the community as they are walking the path of death, dying, and beyond. Their mission is to offer the healing modalities of sound, gentle guidance, touch, and movement in a safe, accessible space for all people. Space is limited, so please preregister.
