SUMMARY:Book Launch! The Life and Times of Job Berry
DESCRIPTION:Here’s your chance to experience life in Hillsborough in the latter half of the 19th century. Imagine walking by the county courthouse at Churton and King\, watching lawyer and legislator Frederick Strudwick rubbing shoulders with other policy makers of the day. Smell the pungent aroma of tobacco in the nearby warehouse. Stop by Henry Brown’s mercantile shop down the street for some tea or snuff. Listen quietly on the corner to the latest rumblings about the Ku Klux Klan. Pick up the most recent issue of the Hillsborough Recorder for the latest news and gossip. You might make plans to attend Job Berry’s upcoming fair to raise money for the new Freedmen’s School at Churton and Queen. If you’re lucky\, you might hear the girls at the Nash and Kollock School practicing the piano for their upcoming soiree. And at the nearby Eno River\, you could even see Peggy Faribault on her way to help birth a baby. \nYou can experience all this and more in The Life & Times of Job Berry\, a collaborative work of fifteen local authors singing the praises—and the failures—of Hillsborough of the time. \nThis historical biography tells the stories of interesting people from slavery to freedom\, from war to peace\, and from Jim Crow to Civil Rights. You’ll read about politics\, education\, music\, art\, literature\, love\, kidnapping\, murder\, real estate\, commerce\, tragedy\, and hope. Join the authors at St. Matthew’s the last Saturday in September to learn their stories of Hillsborough\, North Carolina\, from the late nineteenth century\, plus events a hundred years later. \nJoin Us… \nSaturday\, September 26\, 2026 \n4:00-5:30 p.m. at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church Education Building at the intersection of St. Mary’s Road and E. King Street in Hillsborough\, NC \nWriters include: Managing Editor Betty Eidenier\, Jan Irwin\, Janie Morris\, Bryce Little\, Beverly A. Scarlett\, Deirdre Barone\, Christine Benoodt\, Doris Wilson\, Brooks Graebner\, Kate Faherty\, Steve J. Rankin\, Kathie Lynch Brown\, Courtney Soling Smith\, Horace Johnson\, Jr.\, Kelly Arnold. Kevin Bell provided illustrations.

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!
