Dancers enjoy Alive After Five.
CELEBRATE, from page nine from one to four hours to make its way past spectators along Grassy Creek Road north of Stovall. • In Oxford, the North Carolina Hot Sauce Contest has caught fire. Held on the second Saturday in September, visitors sample hot sauces, beer and wine and music at the festival. And, yes, there’s a pepper-eating contest, presumably with local volunteer fire departments on standby. Visitors can watch North Carolina artist Dan Nelson as he creates a Festival on Canvas. The Granville County Museum is open with its “September Sensations Bazaar” as the Harris Exhibit Hall for the contest. The gardeners sale is a popular draw, and the festival offers scores of activities for children. • Stem, which is celebrating its centennial in 2011, is staging an event that features local roots music, food vendors, games and a variety of activities and events for people of all ages, according to Mayor Nancy Alford. • Stovall, in the northern reaches of Granville County, celebrates each year with a Stovall Day festival held in May. Mayor Janet Parrott said Stovall Day captures the essence of small-town America with a pieeating contest, music, food and displays of arts and crafts. • The Granville County Chamber of Commerce adds to the entertainment across the county with three Alive After Five concerts each year. Two are staged in Oxford and a third in either Creedmoor or Butner. The events, which run from 5:30 until 8:30 p.m., feature beach music by bands such as the Embers, Chairmen of the Board, the Legends of Beach and the Castaways.
