Welcome to Moore County and welcome to the 2011 Palustris Festival! In an area known worldwide for its championship golf courses, equine facilities and beautiful resorts, you may ask … what else could Moore County possibly offer? Using the arts and history of this area, the Palustris Festival was created in 2010 to answer that question. Presented by the Arts Council of Moore County, Convention and Visitors Bureau Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area and PineStraw magazine, the second annual Palustris Festival, March 24-27, 2011, will celebrate the visual, literary and performing arts that many Moore County organizations and businesses DUNN present and attract every year. Building on the success of the first Palustris Festival, a concerted effort by many of Moore County’s organizations, businesses and municipalities will make the 2011 event something to remember. Through their efforts, more than 125 events are being offered in music, dance, visual art, theater, lectures, tours and other special events. Many events are new for 2011. Most events are free and open to the public. All events are presented with a love of Moore County’s distinct charm, beauty, history and culture. If you are lucky enough to call Moore County home, my challenge to you is to discover something new in your own backyard. Share your Palustris experiences with your family, friends and neighbors. If you are a visitor to Moore County, stay a while and experience Palustris through the eyes of our artists, the memories of Moore County’s founders, and the significance and beauty of our land. The Palustris Festival is a special event celebrating a special place. Join the celebration. Visit www.PalustrisFestival.com to see all that the 2011 Palustris Festival has to offer! Artfully yours, Chris Dunn, Executive Director Arts Council of Moore County

Welcome
Palustris Is Your Festival — Get Out and Enjoy BY CALEB MILES Special to The Pilot
With the smells and sights of the spring season beginning to stimulate our senses, so does the explosion of the arts known to many in the Sandhills as the Palustris Festival. This year’s version, the second annual, will benefit substantially from its inaugural opening act 12 months ago, but has added pressure, comparable to a breakout musical artist’s second single after a successful launch first time out. Isn’t that like life’s follow-up performances — expectations are very high, and you don’t have the element of surprise on your side to quell those high hopes to begin with. But that’s the price of success, and, yes, the 2010 version of the Palustris Festival was quite the artistic MILES sensation. Might I share a few facts with you to illustrate that point? I More than 100 events at venues throughout Moore County; I A full cadre of arts, covering visual, performing and literary; I Enthusiastic artists, greeters and venue operators; I More than 5,000 individual attendees; I Visitors from across North Carolina and other Mid-Atlantic states; I Widespread, enthusiastic reception by media outlets throughout the state. With all that said, you ask, how do we exactly gauge the success of a new arts festival? Great question and, like any good promoter, I’ll do my very best to bob and weave around a straight answer. You see, the expectations and, thus, rating criteria for a communitybased festival are multifaceted and open to the interpretation of each of us in Moore County. Our steering committee had to use some metrics to help guide us along the way, so here’s a short list we’ve established going into the second year of the event (you may have more to add): attendance (total and at each event), review/feedback, media reaction, quality of performances/events, extended contribution to the community and, finally, economic impact. The last two criteria listed here you may not have expected, but let me assure you they are significant. Festivals, first and foremost, provide entertainment value for both residents and visitors (more about the visitors in a bit). But, let’s face it, we’ve got 100-plus channels of entertainment staring back at us every evening from a 42-inch or larger black box. There is significant competition for our entertainment time each and every day. If there is not more to a display of our artistic achievements over a long weekend than just “a new entertainment format,” then we’re doomed to a very short legacy for the Palustris Festival. There’s got to be more to make it viable and fresh each year. Yes, it requires some redeeming value that goes beyond the initial stimulus to the senses. Case in point. If you attended the terrific “Greeting of the Train” event in downtown Southern Pines last year, you were entertained with speakers and music, but you also left with a new appreciation of how our communities connected with the highly anticipated arrival of trains and the allimportant guests on board. Not only did we welcome them, but we eagerly shared our history and culture with them the very moment they stepped onto Tar Heel soil. It was an emotional connection that I dare say does not exist today in any form. Boy, did we know how to roll out the red carpet! Reading about
that is one thing — seeing and hearing it re-created is an entirely different experience altogether. This year’s version of the festival adds a new element to the mix, one that extends the impact of the arts to a very important audience — the children of the Sandhills. You see, sharing of the arts adultto-adult is wonderful. But, with the addition of adult-to-child interaction, we’ve extended the reach and impact of Palustris. Having that as a goal and making it happen are two different things entirely. The “making it happen” part happened like this: Steering committee and community activist Janet Kenworthy had a brainstorm. Simply put, we have the artists here for the festival for four days. Why not have these same artists present their particular form of art to our kids, in our schools, while they are here? Brilliant! Part two was finding the money to make it happen, and so an industrious group of fundraisers put a sponsorship program together and, vôilá, we now have a comprehensive program that reaches almost all our children in public elementary and middle schools. Needless to say, we are all very excited about this new component to the Festival and we thank all those involved in making it happen, including our sponsors, who are presented for all to see at www.palustrisfestival.com. Should a celebration of the arts have economic expectations to match the other, more obvious ones? Our steering committee thinks so. You see, sharing these wonderful events with each of our neighbors makes us feel good inside. Sharing them with our fellow North Carolinians should give us a different kind of warm feeling, one that helps bring needed funds to our town and county coffers, which, in turn, helps keep our tax rates low here in Moore County. Collective visitor spending generates enough in local and state taxes to save the equivalent of more than $1,000 annually per household. No, we are not handing out checks at Palustris, but we are helping our tourism economy by bringing in new visitors who bring their all-important dollars with them to spend in our hotels, restaurants, retail shops and, yes, at Palustris events. The broader our reach for Festival attendees, the more we help our economy and help grow the event. Festival Economics 101 is really that simple. So there you have it — the events are all lined up and artists are ready to perform. Expectations are high, and rightfully so. What we need now is you. Go to the website and plan your itinerary for the weekend. With more than 100 events, it’s a great opportunity to expand your horizons and explore arts in areas
you’ve not experienced. And while you are out, maybe it’s time to visit that restaurant you’ve never been to, but have always wanted to taste-test. It’s your festival, so get out and Palustris with your friends and neighbors. See you out there! Caleb Miles is the president/CEO of the Convention & Visitors Bureau Pinehurst/Southern Pines/Aberdeen Area.

Commemorative Mugs Available Visitors will be able to take home their own piece of Moore County at this year’s Palustris Festival. Nancy Owens Brewer, of Owens Original Pottery in northern Moore County, has made limited edition tumblers and mugs to commemorate the festival’s second year of celebrating the area’s vibrant arts community. Each piece features a rendering of the late Moore County artist John Foster Faulk’s original pen and ink illustration, “Pinus Palustris,” which is the official logo of the Palustris Festival. Jane Demay hand-painted the logo on each of the pieces — 50 tumblers and 50 mugs. Brewer added that being a part of Palustris is a way to celebrate Moore County’s pottery heritage. “As potters, we like artsy things,” she said. “It’s an honor to be asked to do an event like
this.” Owens Original Pottery has committed to doing a signature festival piece each year. Though her tumblers and mugs are very popular pieces, Brewer thinks she may branch out and turn a different piece each year for the festival. “They’re good sellers,” she said. “We’ve been doing that for a long time. We’ll just wait and see.” The pieces will be on sale, along with Palustris T-shirts, in the Dempsey Student Center Thursday and Friday and in the lobby of Owens Auditorium before each event at Sandhills Community College. They will also be available at Old Bethesda Church and in Pinehurst’s Village Arboretum on Saturday. Mugs are $20, and tumblers are $15. For more information about the mugs, contact Denise Baker at (910) 695-3879.

SpecialEvents Palustris Festival Showcases Impressive Special Events
The choices are awesome among the more than 100 separate events celebrating the visual, literary and performing arts at the second annual Palustris Festival, March 24-27. Coordinated by the Arts Council of Moore County and the Convention and Visitors Bureau of Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, the schedule for the four days of the Festival really does have something for everyone’s taste. Special Events is one of several categories found on the Festival’s website that the coordinators have assigned to help people choose. However, in some cases, the lines get blurred when a “visual art” or a “lecture” or “tour” designation can also describe some of the impressive special events that are planned by the many area galleries, businesses and other organizations, such as Sandhills Community College or the Moore County Historical Association and the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities. For example, the Festival gets off to a start on Thursday, March 24, with the first three visual art events that are all special in their own way. Early risers can have breakfast with Pinehurst artist Kathleen Miler at Artist Alley as she shares her passion for painting. Or they can take in the Art in the Garden sculpture exhibit

local readers will also illustrate his life and work. Children are welcome. Admission is free. I A birthday party followed by birthday cake and refreshments on Saturday, March 26, at 4 p.m., will celebrate the 462nd year of the oldest known longleaf pine at Weymouth-Sandhills Nature Preserve on the state park grounds adjacent to the Boyd home, now Weymouth Center. After a short walk to the tree from the house, Scott Hartley will host the festivities honoring the largest known surviving vestige of the original longleaf pine forest that once covered the southeastern coastal plains of North Carolina. James Boyd The party is free and children are welcome. I The final Weymouth event on Sunday, March 27, will be a short drive away to The
Rooster’s Wife, a popular entertainment venue at 114 Knight St., in Aberdeen. A Bloody Brunch will kick off at 11:30 a.m., followed by Martha Bassett’s Murder and Mayhem Set, and then a Readers Theatre presentation of “The Serial Killer’s Daughter,” a poem by Pat Riviere-Seel that won the 2009 Roanoke-Chowan Award for Poetry.

Music Experience the Joy of Exceptional Music With the Carolina Philharmonic The Carolina Philharmonic is now back in Pinehurst, having played to a spellbound crowd at Carnegie Hall. A rousing standing ovation followed the performance of “Down a River of Time” by internationally acclaimed American composer Eric Ewazen, whose unexpected attendance brought extra glamour to the concert. A dozen local patrons made the trek up to New York City to experience the local Philharmonic at Carnegie. The Palustris Festival, March 24-27, offers the opportunity to enjoy the sounds of Carnegie right here as the Carolina Philharmonic presents three different components of the orchestra. The first event is the Joshua Wolff Jazz Trio, direct from Broadway, with guest vocalist Laura Didier. This event will be held Thursday, March 24, at 7 p.m., at the Founders Hall at Sacred Heart Church in Pinehurst.
At 7 p.m. on Friday, March 25, Maestro David Michael Wolff will lead the musicians from the Carolina Philharmonic, side by side with many of Moore County’s most promising young instrumentalists and singers in a concert, culminating in the finale of Beethoven’s greatest masterpiece, “Ode to Joy,” from the Ninth Symphony. The concert will be held in the Robert E. Lee auditorium at Pinecrest High School. The Carolina Philharmonic’s final Palustris event will be “For the Opera Lover,” Saturday, March 26, at 3 p.m. at Owens Auditorium at Sandhills Community College. If you love the Met, you won’t want to miss this one. The concert will feature arias, duets, trios and choruses from the land of opera with a few bon-bons thrown in for good measure. Maestro Wolff will lead guest soloists and the Carolina Philharmonic chorus with works from Verdi, Puccini, Mozart , Bizet and Wagner.
Tickets for all three events may be purchased at Given Book Shop in Olmsted Village, The Country Bookshop in Southern Pines or at Heavenly Pines Gifts, across from the main Pinehurst post office off N.C. 5. You may also call the box office at (910) 687-4746 or (910) 687-0287. Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students. In April, the Carolina Philharmonic continues its regular season with its Holy Week Concerts on April 13 and 15. Visit its website at www.carolinaphil.org for information on season tickets and the remaining 2011 schedule. You can also download an order form from this site. Consider becoming a friend of the Philharmonic by making a donation so it can continue to bring you the quality of music that is synonymous with the Carolina Philharmonic. Ticket sales account for only 15 percent of the cost of bringing these concerts to you.

The exciting celebration of the visual, literary and performing arts taking place from March 24th through March 27th provides local residents and visitors who appreciate the world of arts and crafts with a four-day spread of creativity and inspiration. Picking and choosing from among the more than 50 individual exhibitions, classes and demonstrations by the everincreasing group of artists and photographers who call the Sandhills home is a formidable task. However, a full schedule of events is available on the website — www.palustrisfestival.com — as well as current up-to-date information
about where to find each happening, and details about cost of classes and admission prices to some of the events. It should be noted that prices are capped at $25 per person, and that many of the events are free.

For instance, at the college every day of the Festival, award-winning quilts are on display and an Art in the Horticultural Gardens Sculpture exhibit can be viewed.

Special Event Moore County Historical Association On Board for Palustris
The Moore County Historical Association has arranged a series of special events for the second Palustris Festival, March 24-27.

The program will include traditional and new renditions of rarely heard music and old favorites, with a chance to sing along. The Bethesda chancel choir, the Bethesda Ensemble and area musicians will perform early American psalms and spiritual songs.

Special Event

Patrick Coughlin (left), Glenda Clendenin and Tom Bernett will be providing the entertainment portion of the evening at An Affair of the Arts, Friday, March 25.
An Affair of the Arts Returns to Palustris With the Palustris Festival just around the corner, Tom and Mary Lou Bernett are announcing the return of An Affair of the Arts — Dinner, Dance and Cabaret, one of last year’s most popular and successful Palustris events. In fact, with more than 100 events in last year’s arts festival, An Affair of the Arts represented less than one percent of the festival offerings, but with close to 500 people in attendance and more on the waiting list, the dinner dance event was responsible for nearly 10 percent of the total Palustris Festival attendance. This year’s Affair of the Arts will be held at the Pinehurst Fair Barn on Friday, March 25, and will again offer a sparkling, black tie evening of dining, dancing and entertainment. The event was originally conceived by the Bernetts as a focal point for the inaugural year of the festival. They felt Palustris should have a public gala ball to provide a sense of community to a festival that is, by definition, scattered among dozens of venues around the region. In reviewing last year, some small logistical changes have been made to help make the 2011 event even more enjoyable. This year’s dinner will feature a deluxe buffet prepared by chef Chai Phasukkan of Table on the Green restaurant. Chef Chai is highly experienced at serving quality food to large groups of people. The buffet will ensure that food is fresh and hot for everyone. Also, the buffet will be open for two hours
to accommodate those who would prefer to enjoy socializing and dancing before having a later, more relaxed dinner. It is hoped that this extra time will prevent all the guests from feeling a need to rush to the buffet at the start of the evening. Due to increases in food costs, this year’s banquet will require a $10 dinner surcharge added to the $25 admission, making the total event price $35 per person — still considered a remarkably good value for a black tie evening of food, dancing and entertainment. Once again, a beer and wine cash bar will benefit the highly regarded “Adopt-a-Dancer” scholarship program of the Carolina Performing Arts Center in Southern Pines. Another change is that last year’s seating of 480 will be reduced to a maximum of 400 at this year’s event for comfort and safety reasons. Last year’s ball was completely sold out more than two weeks prior to the beginning of the arts festival and with the reduced seating, it is expected that this year’s event will sell out even sooner.
Entertainment Includes Local Dignitaries Entertainment will again be anchored by Tom Bernett’s popular Swing Street Band. The band is made up of some of the best professional musicians in central Carolina and plays a cross-generational mix of dance music, with an emphasis on swing, big band

classics and the great band singers such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc. The band also plays popular examples of pop music from the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. In addition to singer drummer Tom Bernett and the Swing Street Band, cabaret-style entertainment will be provided by such local luminaries as Moore County Director of Elections Glenda Clendenin and Moore Chamber President and CEO Patrick Coughlin, both of whom will be singing on stage with Swing Street. Glenda Clendenin is returning for her second appearance with the band following a very well-received performance in 2010, while the well-known Moore County Chamber President Patrick Coughlin will be making his big band singing debut. “Glenda did a superb job last year and was very comfortable on stage with the band,” says Bernett, “and Patrick’s choice of songs promises to be a real crowdpleaser.” Other entertainment will include senior tap dance troupe Alive and Clicking. The talented individual members of Swing Street will also contribute to the cabaret show with impersonations of great performers from America’s musical legacy, including Tommy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley and Gene Krupa. Billy “Bag O Donuts” Brown, of WIOZ radio, will be on hand to share some of the emcee duties and will also present two very nice door prizes provided by Heavenly Pines Jewelry and Gifts of Pinehurst. The Bernett’s co-sponsors for this year’s gala ball are the Village of Pinehurst Parks and Recreation Department and Muirfield Broadcasting. Numerous local businesses are also signing on as supporting advertisers. “All in all, we’re hoping to provide the community with another exciting dress-up event to help celebrate the Palustris Festival,” says Mary Lou Bernett, director of the Alive and Clicking group and administrator of the Carolina Performing Arts Center. “We hope everyone who enjoys music, entertainment, good food and good times will come out and join us.” All seats are reserved. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with buffet open from 6 to 8 p.m. Music and dancing begin at 6:30 p.m. Tickets can be ordered by calling (910) 692-8839. Reservations are limited to the first 400 tickets sold.

A large number of visitors enjoyed the walking tour of the village of Pinehurst during the 2010 Palustris Festival.
Wide Variety of Lectures and Tours on Tap A look at Southern history, artistic and literary themes, the use of North Carolina landscapes as backdrops for films, and even an old-fashioned cooking demonstration are among the subjects of more than 20 lectures and tours available to residents and visitors during the second annual Palustris Festival. From March 24th to the 27th, the Festival, coordinated by the Arts Council of Moore County and the Convention and Visitors Bureau of Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, presents a wealth of options. Heading up the varied list of lectures and tours sponsored by Sandhills Community College is a talk by William Mangum, one of the most popular and respected watercolor artists in the region. Potters will be represented by a lecture by Frank Noel from the Seagrove Area Potters Association, and other topics include Revelations from Mark Twain’s Autobiography, Poetry for People Who Don’t Like Poetry, The First Decade of Rock and Roll, and Rivers of North Carolina. A tour of Steed Hall, the newest building on the campus, and guided tours of the 32-acre college garden by the Sandhills Horticultural Society are also planned. The Village Walking Tour in Pinehurst, a very popular feature of last year’s Festival, is once again promoted by Givens Memorial Library and Tufts Archives, and a self-guided tour of the Pinehurst Village Arboretum is another rewarding alternative. Trail maps, designed and illustrated by local artist Susan Edquist, are available at most entrances to the park. Or, on Saturday afternoon, as part of a daylong celebration of Arts In the Arboretum, such individual events as a Writers in the Garden segment is featured. Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities offers docent-led tours and, on Saturday at the Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve, a selection of a bird walk, a wildflower hike, an old-growth hike and a program about the redcockaded woodpecker is capped off by a birthday party at the Weymouth Center for the
oldest living longleaf pine in the world. Two lectures with artistic themes are featured on the opening and closing days of the Festival. Vivian Jacobson, author of “Sharing Chagall: A Memoir,” will give a lecture-slide presentation on The Jerusalem Windows by Marc Chagall on Thursday afternoon at Temple Beth Shalom in Foxfire Village, preceded by a tour of the Temple, and Dr. Molly Gwinn, art historian, will discuss North Carolina Artists Colonies at the Artists League in Aberdeen on Sunday afternoon. History plays a large role in the lectures being given during the Palustris Festival. For example, at the Malcolm Blue Farm in Aberdeen, a remembrance of Stonewall Jackson by his wife, Anna, a native North Carolinian, will be based on the couple’s letters to each other, and the cooking demonstration on Sunday afternoon will show visitors how to make shortbread, scones and other old-time recipes in the kitchen of the Malcolm Blue farmhouse. In addition to tours of the Shaw House property on Thursday and Friday afternoons, Moore County Historical Association offers a Saturday afternoon living history tour highlighting the Sandhills’ Scottish heritage. A bagpiper will
welcome visitors to the Shaw House in downtown Southern Pines. The founder of Southern Pines, also the town’s first mayor, Squire Shaw himself, dressed in 1880s-style costume, will greet visitors as they enter the front room, where his portrait is hung. Displays of vintage clothing and Civil War artifacts will be on exhibit. The other structures on the site, the Britt Sanders cabin and the Garner House, are included in the tour as well. Rounding out the literary themes of the lectures being presented during the four-day Festival are a discussion by Anne Goodwin of her book, “Stay for Lunch,” at the Given Memorial Library in Pinehurst, and a group read of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” at The Country Bookshop in Southern Pines, to be followed by a Mark Twain look-alike contest. Most of the events listed in the lectures and tours categories are free. However, in some cases, a fee is charged, or reservations are required, or donations are requested. To obtain full information on any of the Festival events, check the website at www.palustrisfestival.com, or call (910) 6922787.

Theater and Dance Performances on the Stage Shine During Festival
From a delightful play about family to a performance by an internationally recognized dance company based in Durham, theater and dance is well represented at the second annual Palustris Festival, a celebration of the visual, literary and performing arts, March 24-27. Coordinated by the Arts Council of Moore County and the Convention and Visitors Bureau of Pinehurst, Southern Pines and Aberdeen, these two events are supplemented by a Coffeehouse Theater experience, storytelling by a popular wellrespected actor, and a production that showcases the talents of students and faculty of the Sandhills Theatre Arts Renaissance School. In addition, the theater offerings include a oneman show depicting what happens when a spectator transforms himself into multiple characters, and an in-depth look at the work of George Moses Horton, the first African-American to publish a book in the South. The latter event takes place at the Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities and concentrates on a man who at the time of his writing was living in slavery.
