SUMMARY:Book Reading and Release
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a reading and launch celebration Saturday\, September 6\, from 2 to 5pm. Live music\, kids’ games from the 1890s\, snacks\, and more! The author will donate $1.00 from every book sold at the launch party to the Friends of the Orange County Library AND to the Burwell School Historic Site. \nAbout the Book: \nIn Finding Your Place\, it’s 1894 and 11-year-old Ginny’s life is about to be turned upside down. First her beloved Grandmother dies\, then her parents decide to move away from their failing North Carolina farm to a cotton mill in search of a better life. Ginny is certain it won’t be a better life for her – no friends\, new school\, and a strange new environment. Will she ever fit in? \nVisit www.janiceirwin.com to learn more about the book and author. \nRegistration is free to all\, but we do suggest adding a donation. Your generosity allows us to continue preserving this 200-year-old historic site and to offer free events like this for our community. Thank you for considering a gift to the Burwell School!

SUMMARY:FeST
DESCRIPTION:Each year St. Matthews Episcopal Church celebrates the many talents of our parishioners at our holiday craft fair\, bake sale\, and BBQ lunch known as the Festival of the Society Tree (FeST). FeST 2026 will be on Saturday\, December 6th from 10am- 2p at St. Matthews Episcopal Church. This event is named in honor of the efforts of the ladies sewing society who in 1867 used what was then a novelty\, the Christmas tree\, as a way to sell their wonderful handiwork in the community. The Society raised funds for much of the architectural additions and furnishing that still grace our historic church building. Today all proceeds from FeST go to help people in need in Orange and Durham counties through donations to local non-profit organizations. Please come shop for holiday gifts\, fill your table with delicious baked goods\, sit down at the table with us to enjoy a BBQ lunch\, and tour our historic church sanctuary.  All are welcome!
