Sweet summer memories

As summer approaches, this issue’s focus is on the business of fun, food and family! In today’s technology and experience driven world, I have some advice for families: It’s not about the location or the fun rides that your family will remember, it’s the time you spend together that will be most valuable. Every weekend was a mini-vacation for me as a child. From the earliest time I can remember until my early teens, my family would travel to Blounts Creek, Core Point or Plymouth, NC. My mom’s family lived in Blounts Creek and my dad’s mother lived in Plymouth. We enjoyed many weekends playing outside, swimming and fishing in the Pamlico Sound and just hanging out with cousins, aunts and uncles. On Saturday night, the grownups played country music

at what everyone called the “HeeHaw House,” an old building located near the coast of Gilead Shores, while the kids played outside until it was time to go - which was usually close to 11 p.m. One particularly fun (and a bit gross) thing us kids would do was catch fireflies (or lightning bugs, as we called them), and rub them on our clothes so we would glow in the dark! It was a great time to be a kid.

Of course, we also took some longer vacations to the mountains, Disney World and even Colorado to visit my Uncle Donald and Aunt Nancy. It took us five days to drive it. What a road trip!

But the best part was the lifetime of memories and relationships that were built together. Good food and fun certainly help make those times

stick with you, but it was my family that made it count.

And speaking of family, our Greater Fayetteville Business Journal family wants to thank all the businesses and organizations who have helped us bring relevant business content from our seven-county coverage area to our readers. As we finish our second full year with this current issue, I am reminded again that life is all about relationshipsand we celebrate all the businesses and organizations that help make our most important relationships deeper and more memorable. Have a great summer!

God bless you and yours!

Ultimately, it’s the time spent with the people you love that will be most valuable.

Opposites attract

BUSINESS PARTNERS NEIL GRANT AND PATRICK MURRAY SHARE HOW THEIR COMPLEMENTARY SKILLS HAVE PAVED THE WAY FOR GREAT SUCCESS

The saying goes that two heads are better than one, and real estate partners Neil Grant and Patrick Murray certainly embody that sentiment.

Grant got his brokerage license in 2003 and began working for Townsend Real Estate. After a couple of years there, he broke off and started his own company, Neil Grant Real Estate. Murray got his real estate license in 2005 and then worked with his wife’s grandmother’s company for several years.

Further down the road around 2009 or 2010, Grant was involved in a deal as the buyer’s agent with Patrick as the seller’s agent. Grant was impressed by Murray’s talents, and began to entertain the idea of collaborating with him. At this time, Murray was also operating by himself, and the two decided to try their hand at working as a team. They operated together for about a year to test things out before forming Grant-Murray Real Estate in 2011.

“...He and I’s sort of total opposite approach and different personality seemed to fare well,” remarked Grant. There are actually three businesses under the Grant-Murray umbrella. Grant-Murray Real Estate is the commercial company that Murray and Grant run. There’s also Grant-Murray Homes run by their partner, Gary Futch. The third branch of the company is Grant-Murray Property Management run by their partner, James Sherrill.

Grant-Murray Real Estate specializes in buyers and sellers of commercial property and they represent landlords and tenants.

“We range anywhere from doing small leases in office and strip centers to large, long term leases in large retail and office and industrial environments,” shared Grant.

Murray is the broker in charge and Grant is the sales manager at their office located in Fayetteville. Though they started out with two small offices, the commercial brokerage office on W Russell St. and the property management office on Robeson St., they moved into their current location on McPherson Church Road in 2016.

“It was certainly a milestone event for the firm with the merging of the two offices and the growth that

occurred from that relocation. While I loved and do miss being downtown, our current location is very centrally located and easier to access for clients. This office has allowed us to continue expanding with the opening of Grant-Murray Homes in 2018 and continued growth of both our commercial brokerage and property management companies,” shared Murray.

The small four person shop grew into a company with close to 40

people across its various divisions. Murray attributes that growth to the team’s business model and perspective on operations.

“One of the reasons Neil and I joined forces, and kind of our philosophy of running the company and marketing, was just openly sharing our listing information and marketing to other brokers and cooperating with other brokers. At the time, there wasn’t a lot of – at least didn’t

appear to be a lot of – kind of cross sales between companies and a lot of the marketing was held very close to the chest between brokers. So our philosophy was the opposite. We’d rather try to market to everybody and cooperate with outside brokers, split commissions and do more transactions with others,” shared Murray.

“So one of the bigger changes we’ve seen over the years is just that openness between companies…and the way that marketing has transitioned to just a lot more transparency and cooperation between firms. We’ve got great relationships with all the other competing brokers in our market, and do a lot of business with each other, and I’m glad to see that kind of spirit of cooperation between companies that has changed,” added Murray.

Murray shared that at any given time they typically have around 200 listings, and depending on the cycle of the year, it can be 20 to 40 closing and lease signings per month.

“Patrick and I have been busy since the day we started,” stated Grant.

Though sales fluctuate from year to year, Grant offered an estimate of the business’s numbers: “We probably are responsible for, between sales and leasing, probably $50 million a year in the local community.”

Murray is proud to drive around the city and pass by shops and restaurants that he was able to play a role in bringing to town.

“[It’s exciting] seeing that we’re having a positive impact by helping job creators secure real estate and property owners build wealth and different ways like that, that we’re actually having an impact on growing the city in a positive way,” remarked Murray.

While recognizing the progress they’ve made and taking pride in the work they’ve accomplished thus far, Murray remains focused on evolving further to better serve clients.

“There’s always room for improvement. So I’m always looking at different ways to improve our services and improve our marketing ability,” shared Murray. Murray also said he would like to add more brokers to their office.

Grant shared that he is proud of the impact their business has had on the community and on the people who work for their company.

Nighttime Could Be the Right Time to Save.

With PWC’s New Super Off-Peak Rate

On May 1, PWC introduced a new optional Whole Business rate that features significantly lower rates (more than 46% lower than our current Off-Peak rates) for electricity used during Super Off-Peak Hours, 9:00 PM – 5:00 AM daily, all year long. Business customers who sign up for this option pay a slightly higher basic facility charge and Peak rate, while benefiting from much lower rates during the nighttime hours. Your business may be able to lower your electric bills with this rate plan. Some of the ways you can save money with this plan include doing things like:

• Charging fleet-managed EVs, or providing managed EV charging for multi business/residential units, during Super-Off Peak hours

• Performing power-hungry tasks or running large machinery/ non-essential equipment between 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM

For more information, visit: FayPWC.com and click on the TOU Rates for Business in the business section of the website. Or call 910-483-1382 to speak with a PWC representative and learn how our new Whole Business electric rate may benefit your business.

a former U.S. Army Parachute Team (Golden Knights) member.

D’Annunzio would go on to create one of the first civilian accessible wind tunnels which would later develop into what is today known as Paraclete XP Indoor Skydiving.

“We get a lot of military and we get a lot of skydivers, belly teams from all over the world come to train. We get skydivers, members, first timers, everybody,” shared Paraclete XP Team Member Davy “Rocket” Nance.

Open to the public, the facility located at 190 Paraclete Drive in Raeford, houses the largest vertical wind tunnel in the United States in terms of power and size. The tunnel is powered by four fans at 541 horsepower each to give a great range of air speed for all requirements including free and recreational flying and military operations.

Nance shared that the facility’s location, nestled right over the Hoke County line, was chosen due to the proximity to Fort Bragg, and that the facility services primarily military customers.

The Aviation Division of Paraclete XP provides aircraft leasing, Military Free Fall Training (MFF), Military Surveyed Drop Zones and Aircraft Maintenance.

For the general public however, the fun is up to you! What can only be described as leaning in and going up, the experience of indoor skydiving is one you’ll want to write home about.

“We love the public, we used to be open all week and we are now back to full service following COVID,” shared Nance. “We’re always producing new adrenaline junkies, they come out of the tunnel and are hooked. They’ll leave the tunnel, buy more time and go right back in.”

First Time Flyers as young as 3 years old are welcome to come and take flight.

“We have a youth league. It's on Monday nights from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and that's for repeat flyers, only the kids have done it before,” said Nance. “It’s where we can actually coach them.We want them to get better, we've got kids in there that are doing ‘head down’ and carving, layouts, which is all very advanced stuff, and then we’ve got the kids that are just learning and they just love it.”

Packages are available for first time flyers, repeat flyers and for parties and corporate events.

EACH PACKAGE INCLUDES:

● An experienced instructor

● Preflight classroom training

● Flight time in the wind tunnel

● Flight gear

● Flight certificate

Safety is a priority for guests and staff.

Before entering the tunnel, guests are given protective headwear, eyewear, earplugs and jumpsuits to wear over their normal clothing. They are also asked to remove all jewelry and loose articles.

A trained Paraclete professional accompanies each group with flyers learning simple hand signals to keep everyone on the same page during the experience. New flyers usually take turns in the tunnel one at a time and the instructor will maintain contact and help control their body levels and height. Flight sessions are broken up into two minute increments due to the exhausting nature of the exercise.

With the ability to reach 198 mph, the speed of the air in the tunnel can be changed to suit each individual flyer based on their weight and skill

level.

Nance says that Paraclete currently has between 11 and 14 staff members with experience ranging from being former military and general thrill seekers who just love to fly.

“To become one of us, it takes about 10-12 hours in the tunnel in about a two week span and the T-4 who’s like our boss, he’s in there teaching us how to spot people, which is how to catch them and how to prevent all of the injuries and accidents that can happen,” shared Nance.

“While you're in there, he teaches you how to be in the right spot to hold people to help them learn new things like for layouts and head down, other forms of flying.”

But the Paraclete Skydiving experience isn’t just limited to their indoor experiences, further into Hoke County, those willing to have the ultimate thrill have the chance to take what they’ve learned to the skies with Skydive Paraclete XP located at 143 Airport Drive in Raeford on the PK Airpark campus.

With a 250 acre airport and dropzone, the campus includes the Skydive school offering skydiving lessons and tandem skydiving opportunities. Other amenities include two loading zones, a main hanger, a packing pavilion and PK’s Grill and Pub which also features a spectator section for those who want to watch and show support from the ground.

One of the primary offerings is a United States Parachute Association approved training progression called the Paraclete Student Program (PSP), a skydiving course that consists of 18 levels and covers all requirements to apply for a USPA ‘A’ license. This license allows you to jump with your friends and skydive anywhere in the world.

The program covers everything in three stages: 1. Ground Training, 2. Wind Tunnel Training and 3. Freefall and Canopy Training.

According to information on the program from the Paraclete XP website, “Our program is designed not only to teach basic skills but to provide a clear path towards becoming a well-rounded skydiver. Our progression continues past student levels and offers continued education. Interactive seminars, networking, multi-discipline skills camps and exclusive wind tunnel membership options at our state of the art indoor skydiving facility, Paraclete XP SkyVenture. PSP provides everything you need to become a member of our amazing skydiving community.”

With such a unique experience just a few minutes away from Fayetteville, indoor skydiving may just be a new lifelong hobby and a once in a lifetime experience to tell your classmates about this fall, or your coworkers gathered around the water cooler.

Former North Carolina State Legislator John Szoka appointed CEO of national clean energy advocacy organization

The Conservative Energy Network (CEN), a coalition of 24 state-based conservative clean energy organizations, has named JOHN SZOKA as its new CEO. The position has been vacant since founder and former CEO Mark Pischea passed away in July 2022. After an extensive nationwide search, CEN is excited to move forward under Szoka’s leadership. He assumed his new role on May 16.

“I am proud of the work I did to advance clean energy in North Carolina during my time as a State Representative and I am thrilled to be able to continue advocating for conservative energy solutions as CEO of CEN,” said Szoka in a press release.

“Thanks to incredible advances in technology, alternative energy sources are more affordable and effective than ever, driving economic growth and reducing costs while also reducing emissions. National, state, and local policies need to keep up with marketplace innovation. A market-led approach ensures that ratepayers are getting reliable and cost effective solutions to energy generation.”

Szoka became an advocate for clean energy during his ten years of service in the North Carolina Legislature where he served as Chairman of the House Energy and Public Utilities Committee. During his legislative career he sponsored major pieces of legislation that modernized North Carolina’s energy policy to take full advantage of the benefits of low cost clean energy solutions that protect

ratepayers. In 2017 he sponsored HB589 which saved ratepayers over $350M in energy costs by 2021.

“We considered many incredibly accomplished candidates in our search for a new CEO,” said Michael Hartley, chairman of the CEO Selection Committee and CEN board member in a press release.

“John Szoka impressed us as a leader who is not only well-versed in clean energy policy, but is an individual whose strength of character reflects our organization’s culture and values. We are proud of everything we have built at CEN and trust that John’s experience and visionary leadership will guide us to further growth and success.”

Szoka’s professional background also includes 20 years of military service in the United States Army. An Infantry officer, he retired from active duty in 1996 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and went on to own several successful small businesses. With engineering degrees from the U.S. Military Academy at

West Point and the University of Texas at Austin, Szoka appreciates a data-driven approach to clean energy policy.

FirstHealth earns distinction for Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery

FirstHealth of the Carolinas has earned a distinguished three-star rating from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) for its patient care and outcomes in isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures.

The three-star rating places FirstHealth’s Cardiovascular & Thoracic Surgery program among the elite for heart bypass surgery in the United States and Canada.

The STS star rating is calculated using a combination of quality measures for specific procedures performed by an STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database participant.

Peter Ellman, M.D., FACS, senior cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon at FirstHealth, said the three-star rating reflects the hard work of the

program’s staff.

“I could not be prouder of our team,” Ellman said in a press release. “This distinction comes as a result of years of dedication and hard work. It also speaks to the legacy of the program started by Dr. John Krahnert in 1992 when the bar was set for the highest level of heart care. When Mickey Foster took over as CEO in 2019, he set this as one of the goals for the program. I think it’s a great example of how sometimes you need to verbalize a goal to really focus your efforts to get there.”

The STS National Database includes four components: the Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD), the Congenital Heart Surgery Data-

base (CHSD), the General Thoracic Surgery Database (GTSD) and the mechanical circulatory support database (Intermacs). The STS ACSD houses approximately 6.9 million surgical records and gathers information from more than 3,800 participating physicians, including surgeons and anesthesiologists from more than 90 percent of groups that perform heart surgery in the U.S. STS public reporting online enables STS ACSD participants to voluntarily report to each other and the public their heart surgery scores and star ratings.

“We always say that we provide world class heart care for the people of the Sandhills, and it is heartening to know that the objective data supports that claim,” Ellman said in a press release. “Moreover, this distinction is based on three years of data for every patient who has had coronary artery bypass grafting in our program, reflecting consistent excellence over a long period of time. This only happens when you have an incredible team that works together with all pistons firing to provide the best possible care for the patients in our area and beyond.”

C&S Ice

FAMILY OWNED MOBILE FOOD STAND BRINGS A NORTHERN FROZEN TREAT TO BEAT THE SOUTHERN HEAT

AFayetteville N.C. based mobile food stand is looking to combine the best of the north and south by bringing a longtime Philly favorite treat to the Cumberland County area: Philadelphia Water Ice.

C&S themselves: Carla and Sean Stansberry, the married couple who run this business, are no strangers to their food truck’s specialty, experiencing it for themselves in New Jersey after relocating due to Carla’s military career. After Carla retired, the two returned to Fayetteville, Sean’s hometown. The couple said they began to miss the treat they had come to love and decided to supply it to the people down south. The couple opened their mobile food stand in June of 2022 and have been busy ever since.

“We wanted to have a small business that people would enjoy, something that you can’t find a lot of. I love the Italian Ice and it was tough to find when we moved back,” shared Sean. “It was easily available in New Jersey, but it was tough to find when we came back. It was just one of those things I missed a lot. We opened our business and it’s kind of built into what it is now.”

You might wonder, what exactly is Philadelphia Water Ice?

Ingredients such as water, sugar and flavors - primarily pineapple, strawberry and lemon are combined with water ice; firmer than a slushy, yet softer than sorbet, it creates a blend in between.

The mixture leans more toward gelato and is dairy free.

“We saw how big it was, and we were talking about ‘Oh, we should open up one of the franchises.’ We were just looking at different ways to do it. And then last year, we’re just like, ‘It’s hot, let's just do it.’ We both missed it because this is not just regular Italian Ice, it’s a lot smoother,” shared Carla. “And, obviously, we were obsessed with it up there and were just like, ‘Let’s just do it, let's open up one down here.’”

While Philadelphia Water Ice is the signature dessert for the stand, it also offers fair foods year round including house made mini doughnuts, deep fried oreos and hand squeezed lemonade all made to order.

“There’s no gimmicks, it’s all top of the line. The ice is made in Philadelphia, we buy it wholesale, the ice is

amazing. So it’s all about the combination,” shared Sean.

The Stansberrys said that the want for a better work life balance and the ability to spend more time with their three year- old son and each other helped drive the couple to make

the business a reality. Sean works the truck full time, and Carla assists while also working as a realtor for Thomas Real Estate Services.

“Being able to be family owned and seeing my family each day, not having to be gone out of town, I used to do long distance hauling and I stopped doing that because it was just an inconvenience,” shared Sean. “Now I get to see my family, day in and day out.”

Both Sean and Carla agree that being local but mobile business has been an enjoyable experience so far. While they are open about traveling to specific attractions and events, the two said they only like to go about 60 miles out of Fayetteville to set up shop.

“We're just always on the go. People are like, ‘Oh, we want you to come back over here.’ We’ll do all of our events and then we'll start setting up throughout town. We have to have permission to set up so we just can't just come to where people want us to go sometimes,” shared Carla.

According to Sean, the couple would like to continue to introduce southerners to Philadelphia Water Ice and are open to coming to public and

private events. The stand is known to make appearances at Aloha Zoo in Cameron, and at City events for Fayetteville and the Town of Hope Mills.

“We’ve been focusing on doing stuff locally, but it’s built into quite a schedule now. So we’ve got school systems, we’ve got people that have weddings coming up. We’ve got small town festivals,” shared Sean. “We want to be able to stay local and still build the business at the same time. So we’d like to expand a little bit, maybe go to some new places and get some new people that haven't had it before.”

With the popularity of their treats resulting in more than 2,000 likes and follows on social media, the couple said they are always glad to greet their regular customers who have become friends over the course of their time in the community.

“People are like ‘Oh I’ve been trying to track you guys down through Facebook, we’re so glad you’re here today!’” shared Carla. “It's been completely crazy, but it's worth it. We meet a lot of people and people have been really supportive of the business especially since we're a new local business, and this has been easy to keep it going.”

Customers can follow C&S Ice on Facebook to find out where they’ll be today!

The Cozy Heron

LILLINGTON “GLAMPING” EXPERIENCE ALLOWS FOR A COMFORTABLE YET UNFORGETTABLE TIME IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Summer is approaching rapidly in North Carolina, and we all want to make long-lasting memories for ourselves and our families and friends. It can be difficult to plan a vacation that fits everyone’s needs, but not anymore! Cape Fear River Adventures is proud to announce the opening of the Cozy Heron Glamping experience. Love the outdoors, but not a huge fan of sleeping on the hard ground? Need a respite from the bugs? Don’t want to hike for miles carrying all that camping equipment? Then this local glamping experience is the summer adventure for you! It is not your typical campsite; the Cozy Heron Glamping area houses their guests in hand crafted, fully furnished covered wagons for a truly unique vacationing experience.

“It is truly glamping in the sense that you are outdoors, but if you’re not one who wants to be out with the critters or shower outside this is the way to go,” said Business Operations Manager, Nancy Findley. “This is the experience for people who love to be outside, but don’t necessarily love to camp—this gives you the best of both worlds.”

The site is conveniently located in Lillington in a gorgeous area along the Cape Fear River. It is a perfect blend of enjoying the great outdoors in addition to having all the comforts of home right there with you on vacation.

The Cozy Heron Glamping campsite features five stationary covered wagons positioned right alongside the river on eight acres of land.

Each individual wagon is eight and a half feet tall, twenty-five feet long, and contains one hundred and eighty square feet of space to relax in. The covered wagons are fully equipped with electricity, Wi-Fi, heating and air conditioning, and are fully customized with cozy furniture, tasteful décor, and convenient appliances. Each wagon is outfitted with a table with chairs, a mini fridge, a microwave, a coffee maker, a king size bed and two bunk beds.

Each wagon can accommodate four people, and at a twenty-guest maximum capacity currently, the Cozy Heron Glamping experience lives up to its name with a secluded, cozy vibe to your vacation. A bath-

house is just a short walk away from the wagons, with all the amenities of home.

“It’s just a wonderful way to get people outside in a comfortable situation,” said Findley. “A guest might be like ‘Oh I really like this, I might like to try camping’ or someone might be like ‘Nope, this is just my speed.’”

The Cozy Heron Glamping experience presents new options for hikers and campers and is a great steppingstone for those just getting into the world of camping. The wagons encircle a beautiful stone communal fire pit, complete with seating, a grill, and stocked with games for everyone to enjoy.

“You’re sleeping in a luxurious bed but then you’re outside at the firepit, it really is just the experience of camping but with all the luxuries of home,” said Findley.

Owner Ilia Smirnov started the idea for this glamping experience three years ago, setting up the wagons and opening the experience to guests at a soft launch in March. Smirnov’s passion for the outdoors and the Cape Fear River, and the desire to share it with others, fueled this project.

“Truly his [Smirnov’s] vision was to help get people outside more,” said Findley. “They [Smirnov and family] love the river, this is their focus. The

river is their passion, and so to share that with everyone in the area is their goal, it’s to get people outside and to experience nature.”

Designing a space where anyone could try out a more luxurious version of the outdoors really alleviates the initial stress amateurs can experience when trying out camping for the first time.

staying in a wagon you get 20 percent off all river activities,” shared Findley. Local Lillington attractions are a kayak trip away from the wagons, such as Cape Fear Shiner County Park and Lillington River Park, both of which offer kayak landings. Cape Fear Shiner County Park has picnic areas and volleyball courts, and Lillington River Park has playgrounds and covered picnic areas. Close by the wagons are other adventures to fill your vacation with, such as the Hawk Manor Falconry, Keith Hills Golf Club, and Lost Paddle Pizza.

The Cozy Heron Glamping experience and Cape Fear River Adventures work hard to help the local business scene, all while offering recreational services to the community.

Guests can make their stay as adventure-packed or low-key as they like with the plethora of options the Cozy Heron Glamping experience has to offer with Cape Fear River Adventures. Kayaking, river tubing, and other aquatic sports are some of the adventures that ‘wagoneers’ have access to.

“Another thing, if while you’re

“We are a strong supporter of the economy in the area, we love to support small businesses in any way we can. If we’re going to get something, it’s going to be at the local hardware store, or at the beehive, and we have just the local business of Lillington in our guidebook,” shared Findley. “We’re very excited after three years of work and research to finally be at the point where we are hosting guests. We can’t wait to make more river friends and have them come out and experience the joy of the Cape Fear River.”

Summer in the gardens

TAKING A LOOK AT THE CURRENT AND FUTURE DISPLAYS AND EVENTS AS THE CAPE FEAR BOTANICAL GARDEN KICKS OFF THE SUMMER SEASON

New activities, events and day trips are coming up for area residents who are looking to connect with nature and the history of their community.

For the summer of 2023, the Cape Fear Botanical Garden will be taking its newly renovated heritage garden for a spin by weaving its summer programming in with NASCAR’s horticultural roots.

The crops in the heritage portion of the garden have been intentionally planted to reflect the agriculture during the early NASCAR days such as tobacco, ornamental flowering tobacco, corn and more.

According to Sheila Hanrick, director of programming, marketing, and guest experience, the main exhibit this year is Horticulture, Hooch & Outlaws in Fast Cars which debuted on May 6 during the Garden Mania event and will be on display until August 20.

“The exhibit talks about how NASCAR started because of bootlegging — moonshine. It’s tying agriculture to what we now know as NASCAR today and their green initiatives,” said Hanrick.

During Garden Mania and the Horticulture, Hooch & Outlaws in Fast Cars kickoff event, children who attended had the opportunity to build pinewood derby cars — an ode to the history of NASCAR. Families who attended also got to build planter boxes and filled them up with soil to plant flowers. According to Hanrick, these activities were made possible through a grant from the Youth Growth Stock Trust by United Way of Cumberland County.

“We are big into food sustainability as well as just the aesthetic of gardening,” she said. “We had a farm set up in their heritage garden where we could educate people about gardening just for beauty — the attractiveness of it — down to agriculture where we try to teach people how to grow their own food.

Other events that will pay homage to moonshine runners are Pondamania on June 10 and the Sunset Series events every third Friday of each month until August.

A free-flowing event beginning at 10 a.m. until 3 p.m., Pondamania is a family event connecting art with

nature. This will be the third Pondamania and attractions of the festival are local musical entertainers, children performing clogging, a traveling stilt walker, a bubble artist, animals to pet from Shaky Tail Farm, canvas painting, marble art, vendors, and food trucks.

“It’s a really, really fun event,” said Jessica Barnes, CFBG events manager. “This year, we are going to tie in the exhibit as well utilizing the connection we have called the Juicebox Derby.”

Juicebox Derby is a competitive kart for racers between the ages three to five years old and the race track will be located in front of the garden.

“These kids have already had some experience racing,” Hanrick said. “They are the reason why we are tying in the racing — it is to tie it back to the exhibit that is here.”

The first Sunset Series of the season is June 16 featuring the band “Jordan Lake Swimmers.” During all the Sunset Series events, which is the third Friday of the summer months, the garden’s hours will be extended to 9 p.m. for patrons to enjoy the beauty of the summer foliage at dusk while being entertained by a live local band. Originally from Apex, the Jordan Lake Swimmers will be coming to Fayetteville to perform their rendition of popular tunes with a country-bluegrass sound at 6 p.m.

“We will have a moonshine cocktail as well as Keith Smith, who is a retired NASCAR photographer,” Hanrick said. “He will tell us a little bit about his life in the NASCAR circuit.”

July’s Sunset Series is scheduled for the 21st at 6 p.m. and will feature Riggsbee Road, an all-female band from Raleigh. They will perform country, pop, and classic with a “new” grass twist to it, featuring vocal harmonies, and a big banjo.

In addition to the main events of

the season, CFBG will still be running its regular programming and initiatives to connect people to nature. Barnes said the goal of therapeutic horticulture is for the garden to be a resource to the community, particularly children, the underprivileged and those who serve.

The garden will continue its environmental education department, which offers after-school programming, preschool programming, homeschool programming, field trips for local schools, as well as camps throughout the summer.

“We received a grant this year that helped Title I schools be able to come to the garden for free for field trips,” Hanrick said. “That was a one-time grant that we took advantage of to make sure those underserved populations could have an experience in the garden.”

The CFBG is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and utilizes grants and sponsorships to host, fund, and promote horticultural-centric events for the last 35 years.

“We were started in 1989 by a group of community volunteers who thought Fayetteville deserved a botanical garden. We are a great place to escape and to find peace and respite from all the noise that’s in the world and in our lives today,” said Hanrick.
