Art on the

Water

Art is the focus this June as two events, one established and one fresh and new, bound onto the scene, bringing everyone outside for a little bit of sunshine while supporting local and regional artists.

The 8th annual Art on the Neuse outdoor art festival is scheduled from 9am-4pm on Saturday, June 18 in the picturesque sailing village of Oriental. Visitors are invited to stroll along the harbor and view a wide assortment of original works and master craftsmanship. Organized by the Pamlico County Arts Council, this year’s festival is expected to attract artists from across the state in a variety of media, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, mixed media, 6

drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, pottery, fiber, wood, glass, jewelry and metal work. Artists will set up in the courtyard of the Oriental Marina and Inn and along Hodges Street.

This year the council has chosen Per Erichsen’s plate steel sculpture, “A Day at the Beach,” as its thematic motif. The 18-inch abstract piece shows a figure suspended between two swirling wave forms. In addition, Erichsen and artist Antonia Leavitt will set up an interactive life-size camera obscura especially for the event.

Oriental is located on the Neuse River and the Pamlico Sound and is 30 miles from New Bern. A rain day has been set for

Two riverfront events focus on regional art June 25. To learn more, visit pamlicoart. org.com.

Hang on Oriental, those folks in Bridgeton may be on to something – they’re teaming art with sailing for the premier of RiverFest, June 24-25.

The volunteers planning the event and the Bridgeton Improvement Committee have worked feverishly these past few months to present the finest show in Eastern Carolina. Not only will guests have the chance to enjoy the works of some of the most prestigious regional and national artists and an exciting regatta, but they will find plenty of food, Celtic and other music, a classic car display, kayaking displays

and marine vendors. For the youngsters there will be pirates (with a treasure hunt), a pirate costume contest, face painting and balloon treats. And don’t forget blueberries – Bridgeton is famous for them!

The arts and craft show runs from noon to 7pm on Friday and 10am-7pm on Saturday. Antique cars will be on display from 10am-3pm on Saturday only. For those with a more nautical mission, the San Juan 21 Championship Race will be run that (continued on page 14) New Bern Magazine

How does your GARDEN GROW?

New Bern Magazine

ooking for a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon? Well, Tryon Palace Historic Sites & Gardens has a few ideas – and one of the best places to start is in the garden.

Each March through October the site opens its gardens on the first Sunday of the month at no charge to the public. But these are no ordinary gardens. For almost every structure on the site, a perfectly manicured garden comes attached. There are 15 gardens in all, and if you’re planning on taking it in during one Sunday afternoon, Curator of Gardens Lisa Wimpfheimer warns that comfortable shoes are definitely advisable.

“There are the gardens inside the palace, outside the front gates and around our historic homes and, of course, the new riverside garden at the NC History Center,” said Wimpfheimber. “So there is definitely a lot of ground to cover.”

More than 16 acres of reconstructed colonial gardens can be found at Tryon Palace, all designed with care in a formal garden style. From the colorful bulbs of spring to the practical vegetables found in the kitchen garden, just about everyone with an interest in landscape and backyard gardening will be sure to find pointers strolling the grounds.

“We do get a lot of visitation, April and May have been very popular,” said Wimpfheimer. “The lilies are just starting to come in, hydrangeas are coming along and the crepe myrtles will be opening soon so it’s a great time to visit. And it’s always nice to see people walking through the gardens.”

The free Sundays, she said “give people who live nearby a chance to stop by the gardens and enjoy them without the expense and commitment of buying a pass for the day. We get a lot of people who come right after church dressed up, so we see them all dressed up spending the afternoon in the garden. And, of course, it’s always enjoyable to see children.”

June’s free event is planned for June 5. The site opens at 1pm. Discount admission tickets for interior tours will also be offered. To learn more about Tryon Palace, call 252-514-4900 or visit tryonpalace.org.

RIVER CITY Reading in the Sun Registration for the New Bern-Craven County Public Library’s Adult Summer Reading Program begins June 13 with the program running through July 1. The theme of this year’s program “Novel Destinations” will have many new features – a free gift for all who register, special programs and fun prizes.

Participants may read or listen to any book, CD, cassette or ebook in the Craven-Pamlico-Carteret Regional Library System. Participants can register at the information desk by calling 252-638-7807 or emailing newbernreads@yahoo.com.

That Motown Sound In celebration of the 40th anniversary of The Motown Sound, New Bern Civic Theatre will present an evening of distinctive soul-infused pop music that solidified its popularity in American culture and defined a generation. Shows are planned for 8pm on June 10-11 and 2pm on Sunday, June 12. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

The Motown Sound is a powerful mixture of blues, jazz, R&B, classical and pop that created hits that are danceable, melodic and diverse;

funky and classy, all at once. Directed by music veteran John Van Dyke and performed by an all-star cast, the performers croon and belt out more than 30 hits from the 1960s. From My Boyfriend’s Back to Leader of the Pack, the music is sure to transport the audience back to the days of beehives and smooth dance moves.

To learn more, or to purchase tickets, call 252-633-0567 or visit newberncivictheatre. org.

Local Favorites Perform Tuppence, a folk music duo comprised of Sara and Simon Spalding, will present a “Concert of Americana” at Trent River Coffee Co. in New Bern on Thursday, June 30. In addition to providing vocals, the pair plays the fiddle, guitar, mandolin, octar and other instruments.

The program will feature songs of American life from three centuries, including traditional and contemporary ballads, ragtime, sea songs and fiddle tunes.

The music begins at 7pm. Tickets are $5 and are available at the door. Call 252-514-2030 for more information or visit tuppencefolk.com.

Summer of the Arts Space is available for the 2011 Summer Arts Camp “Olden Ways – Our Treasured Days” offered at JT Barber Elementary School through the Craven Arts Council & Gallery. Sessions run 10

New Bern Magazine

from July 18-22 and July 25-29. Sessions are planned from 9-11:30am and 1-3:30pm. Three of the week-long sessions are planned for ages 5-12 and one is for 4 year olds.

Campers will learn the why and how of everyday Southern traditions as part of this wonderful camp. Why sweet ice tea and pound cake? Why banjos and patchwork? How is clogging done? Campers will have the opportunity to try Bluegrass instruments, clogging, handwork and the delicious recipes that make great-great-grandma’s front porch stories so valuable. They will learn from local artists, musicians and dancers and explore such well-known artists as Thomas Hart Benton, Grant Wood and Norman Rockwell.

The Summer Arts Camp is coordinated by JT Barber art teacher Penny King, who provides instruction along with Julee Anderson, Wendy Daw, Linnea McKenney and Kim Scott.

The camp registration form can be downloaded at cravenarts.org, but parents are advised to first call Craven Arts Council & Gallery at 252-638-2577 to check availability and then register at the Bank of the Arts, 317 Middle St.

‘Try on’ a Little History Step back into the past and experience life before iPods and the internet. At Tryon Palace’s Colonial Life Day Camp, campers will explore how colonists lived in Colonial North Carolina. They’ll participate in numerous hands-on activities, sure to give them a taste of colonial life, including tours, cooking, dress-up, games, crafts and much more.

The program runs from June 20-24. The cost is $71 per child and camp is open to students in grades 3-5. Advance registration is necessary by calling 252-639-3524.

CHERRY BRANCH MINNESOTT FERRY Free Ferry - 20 minutes 30 cars - Year-Round

In a place where boats outnumber its residents nearly three to one, the town of Oriental is a sailor’s refuge tucked away along the Neuse River, which oddly enough, earned its named from a Union Steamship that sank 33 miles north of Hatteras, near Bodie Island. The wife of Oriental’s founder and first postmaster, Lou Midyette, is said to have seen the transom of the vessel displayed years later at a home in Manteo and found it to be the ideal name for their little waterside hamlet.

Boats are not just a part of Oriental’s history, they define it. Labeled the sailing capital of North Carolina, it’s common to find residents and visitors kayaking, fishing and sailing year round. Nearly 5-6,000 sailors come in to port each year from the Intracoastal Waterway, many for the collection of regattas held throughout the year.

The town boasts a plethora of activities, a wealth of awardwinning artisans, an active music scene, a theater group and a thriving community spirit.

The year-round ferry, which carries 30 cars, docks at Minnesott Beach, just 10 miles from Oriental, making it accessible to points east and west.

Nestled along Hwy 70 between Morehead City and New Bern, Havelock is best know as the home of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, now the largest air station in the world. From its landmark Harrier plane propped up halfway through town to the thundering sounds of passing jets, there is no mistaking the presence and effect the air station has on Havelock’s visitors and residents.

A small community started in the mid-1800s, Havelock grew, in part, because of the union between Atlantic and North Carolina railroads.

A depot was built at the crossing and named after British Gen. Henry Havelock. The 1940s and World War II brought with them MCAS Cherry Point and Havelock’s population exploded, from about 100 to approximately 22,500 people.

Havelock enjoys visitors year round, with annual events like its NC Chili Festival and the Cherry Point Air Show, held each year in June, and natural attractions such as the Croatan National Forest and Neuse River. To learn more about Havelock, visit cityofhavelock. com.

Exploring Tucked away on the banks of the Neuse River, the city of New Bern offers the comforts of a modern riverside city with a historic tradition that dates back to Colonial times. In 1710, Swiss baron Christopher de Graffenried founded New Bern as the second-oldest town in North Carolina, naming the city after Bern, the Swiss capital. The bear proudly displayed throughout the city comes from the Swiss cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, taken from the German word â&#x20AC;&#x153;bärenâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;bears.â&#x20AC;?

While providing shopping and dining experiences on par with other major cities, New Bern maintains the spirit and feel of a small town. Visitors can explore 150 historic landmarks, many of which date back to the 18th century. The revitalized historic district offers visitors a variety of shops, galleries, restaurants and historic homes.

Tryon Palace is one of New Bernâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular historic sites. Completed in 1770, Tryon Palace was built by British Governor William Tryon and served as the capital building in the

New Bern is also famed for a late 1800s pharmacist named Caleb Bradham. Bradham mixed syrup of coca, kola nut extracts and rare oils with carbonated water to create the fizzy beverage known today as Pepsi Cola.

While the winners often walk away with a handsome purse, so do many area charities. Details: thebigrock.com or 252-2473575.

That means in 2010 alone, more than 36 million people visited the Tar Heel state, collectively spending $17 billion on places to stay, eat, shop and be entertained. And like many of us, they found most of what they were looking for before their vacation even started â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by researching them on the web.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we come in.
