(L to R) Wingate Smith, a high school teacher by day and part-time bartender at Village Beverage Co. in Summerfield’s Hillsdale Village Shopping Center, joined bicyclists Rosa Alonso-Mckenzie, Kim Siebold and Robin Helms as they perused the local news before saddling up for “The Honor Ride” on

May 29. The cyclist event was a fundraiser for Triad

Honor Flight and it began and ended at Village

Beverage Co., which was one of the event’s many supporters (learn more about Triad Honor Flight at www.triadhonorflight.org).

Members of the Northwest Guilford Woman’s Club spent a few minutes enjoying the Northwest Observer’s latest Grins (and Gripes) after volunteering at the Memorial Day ceremony held at Oak Ridge Town Park on May 31.

Northwest Greensboro resident Erick Sowder recently learned a new trick on his Onewheel – he read his Northwest Observer while cruising through Oak Ridge Town Park on Memorial Day! “Riding this Onewheel re-connects me with my 17-yearold self,” Sowder, 54, said of his hobby. It’s also a great way to spend a quick work break, he noted, saying that 15 minutes on his Onewheel in the middle of the workday clears his brain and readies him for more mental challenges.
