Happening Around Town

Sometimes the best thing about February is that it is 3 days shorter than January! But, in Charleston, there is so much to get excited about.

The Charleston Civic Center is hosting the ever popular monster truck competition “Monster Jam, Triple Threat Series”, the 49th Annual WV Outdoor Sports Show, and Disney’s “Frozen” this month.

As the calendar turns to a new month, “Charleston Restaurant Week” is still happening. You do not want to miss the terrific specials that some of the town’s finest restaurants are offering through Feb. 3.

The WV Outdoor Sports Show is three days of the newest in RV’s, boats, and ATV’s. There are exhibits of the new outdoor adventure opportunities for travel destinations, golfing, fly fishing, kayaking, biking, and so much more! Later in February, the Civic Center is also the place to be for the Christian concert series “The Roadshow 2018.”

Jim Gaffigan, the Grammy nominated comedian, New York Times best-selling author, and star of TV Land’s “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, comes to the Municipal Auditorium. This will also be the venue for Grammy Award winning Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit Band, with special guest James McMurty.

Charleston’s local talent continues to be tremendously entertaining as the Charleston Light Opera Guild presents “The 25th Annual

Putnam County Spelling Bee”. This is an interactive production using members of the audience in each performance. This musical comedy is based on the book by Rachel Sheinkin and has been presented on Broadway. It is not based on our local Putnam County spelling bee competition.

There will be a wonderful evening of acoustic music with Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin & Collin Raye at the Clay Center on Feb. 10. On the 23rd, the Clay Center will be hosting “TAO:Drum Heart”, which is a high energy performance of Japanese drumming and highly physical choreography. This group performed at the Vancouver Winter Olympics and will deliver a thrilling show that no one will want to miss!

Fans of The Beatles will enjoy the Beatles Tribute, “A Little Help From My Friends”. This is a marathon concert of Beatles tribute bands, and it is a fundraiser for the Funds for the Arts. Hosted by Mountain Stage’s own Larry Groce, it will be a wonderful way to spend a cold February day!

In February, we can officially proclaim that “Spring is next month!”.

While we all look forward to warmer weather and spring flowers, Charleston is still way too much fun to stay home!

The furniture is in place to function well and make a statement and balance the space with the wall color, window treatments, rugs, and case-goods. The style, colors, and patterns all speak to the people who reside in this home and let others know a little about who they are. Now it's those finishing details that will truly personalize and define more clearly those who live in this wonderful, comfortable, home environment.

One of the biggest trends for 2018 is the use of "COLLAGE". Excited to see that trend is becoming more and more popular, we at COOPORRIS18 are huge fans of bringing elements into any project that reflect on the client. Art from trips or local talent, photographs from past events and experiences, and pieces that tell about our hobbies and interests can all come together in COLLAGE.

In one complete space design, we deveoped the space around it's use to accommodate a workspace for the daughter, a ping-pong table, and conversation areas allow one for TV and gaming by the son. This COLLAGE further reflects the family atmosphere with random spacing and color in pictures that bring great memories and conversation!

The bonus is that we can also fill a space with more interest! Rather than a simple store-bought piece, we can take this opportunity to show who we are not only with content but also with the design and style of our collage. Big & Bold, random, and even the very organized collage will let others know about you. The use of same size & style frames, for example, may let guests know that you are a more organized soul.

Random frames, content, color, will usually create a more casual experience for the eye.

DAVE COOPER Space Planning & Interior Design

In my own home office, I love the COLLAGE idea! When I need to "slow the brain down", I simply sit back and take in art, photos, and other pieces that make me smile and relax for a few moments.

Constantly changing, this has been a VALUABLE idea!

collected by the Mrs. of the house from childhood!

A great conversation starter, we developed this COLLAGE around the TV center on the focal wall of the great room!

In one local business favorites, we added sepieatone canvas wraps in various sizes. The content demonstrates the experience others have had and set up the attitude of a fun visit ahead for those attending their first class!

Don't forget the idea of building a COLLAGE with wall shelves and stacks

Dave Cooper 304-539-8592

Cooporris18@outlook.com

www.cooporris18.com

over the sofa! And, always direct the flow of traffic (and the eye) on the staircase!

Another idea that involves the COLLAGE tool, multiple mirrors in a Bath is a great way to break up the monotony of the everyday mirror over the sink. Again, this idea in my own home has not only been a point of interest but also a great way to repurpose old mirrors collected over time. Check out this example!

MAKING HOME a better place to live

Speaking of collections, one of my favorites is a cool wall we did using BEETLES albums

Send us your COLLAGE efforts to our FACEBOOOKor HOUZZ PAGE! Have a great time and love every moment as you use these ideas to help create the HEART OF YOUR HOME! Make your home a Great Place to Live!

Fayetteville, North Carolina

Five and a half hours Southeast of Charleston brings you to one of the most patriotic places in America. Fayetteville, North Carolina is home to the nation’s largest military installation, Fort Bragg, and the 82nd Airborne. It is a place with a deep-rooted history, local and ethnic cuisine, and military support. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised by this Cape Fear River city.

WHERE TO STAY IN FAYETTEVILLE My top pick is the TownePlace Suites at Cross Creek. Enjoy a spacious suite with a full kitchen, separate living room space, and comfortable beds. TownePlace Suites offers free breakfast, an outdoor swimming pool, and is pet-friendly.

Prices run a little over $100 per night at this Marriott property.

Fayetteville is home to 200,000 people, so rest assured the food scene is one worth exploring. Luigi’s Restaurant serves spectacular Italian dishes and has a wine list featuring as many international bottles as domestic. Don’t miss the Calamari; the whole town raves about it.

TownePlace Suites at Cross Creek had the most comfy beds!  Photo by Melody Pittman.

Nearby, a Hampton Inn & Suites and Candlewood Suites offer basically the same amenities under a different hotel name. There are many budget-friendly accommodations in the area to choose from.

WHERE TO DINE IN FAYETTEVILLE

good cold beer, feast on traditional American dishes (like Crab Dip or Poutine), and enjoy a hearty dinner of Jambalaya or Shrimp & Grits.

At the 82nd Airborne Museum, you can learn the history of their involvement in military operations from World War I to modern day times (War on Global Terrorism). Outside, the Airborne Airpark contains almost every aircraft paratroopers have jumped from since World War II.

Treetop Adventure. Take a stroll around Carvers Creek State Park, stopping at the Long Valley Farm to see the 1937 winter agricultural farm estate of James Rockefeller, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. tter

Check out more than 2,000 plants and flowers in themed gardens at the Cape Fear Botanical Garden, totaling over 777 acres. Be sure to admire the wildflowers, Camellia gardens, and take the butterfly stroll. The Cape Fear Botanical Garden also has a special children’s area and a beautiful gazebo for photo-ops.

Tasty Mediterranean appetizer platter from Sherefe.  Photo by Melody Pittman.

For a more exotic offering, Sherefe (pronounced Share-a-fay) serves delicious Middle-Eastern fare and some of the best desserts in Fayetteville. Start with the Mediterranean Delight appetizer platter followed by the Mediterranean Feast, which includes a sampling of nearly everything on the menu and is enough for two people to share.

Long Valley Farm, at Carvers Creek State Park, was previously owned by the Rockefeller family.  Photo by Melody Pittman.

Fish and Chips perfection from Scrub Oaks Restaurant.  Photo by Melody Pittman.

Scrub Oaks is an upscale restaurant meets sports bar-eatery. Stop by this fun neighborhood spot for cocktails, appetizers, or a casual meal. Scrub Oaks hosts many events, including Trivia Tuesdays and elegant wine dinners.

Dive into military history, with an emphasis on US Army and special operations, at the stateof-the-art Airborne & Special Ops Museum (ASOMF). Ride the Pitch, Roll, and Yaw VistaDome Motion Simulator and experience how it feels to deploy through extreme weather and land conditions through special military performances on a wild ride. It is so much fun!

Adjacent to ASOMF is the NC Veterans Park.

This large outdoor park has a photo-worthy arch for each brand of the service and soil from every county in North Carolina. Don’t miss the moving Memorial Dog Tag Wall and chandelier inside that is comprised of more than 30,000 tags. Across the road, the Freedom Memorial Park honors locals who lost their lives in battle.

WHAT TO DO ON YOUR WEEKEND TRIP TO FAYETTEVILLE Enjoy the outdoors in Fayetteville. Located on the Cape Fear River, there are plenty of trails to explore and several outdoor opportunities, such as ziplining at ZipQuest Waterfall and

A great rainy day activity in Fayetteville is to visit the Cross Creek Mall, with 65 stores including Build-A-Bear and H&M clothing store.

The retro-restored Cameo Art House Theatre is another fun way to spend time indoors watching an independent, foreign, or classic films. Enjoy cookies, popcorn, candy, beer, wine, teas, and more at this killer concession stand, open to the public as well.

Kids will love the new Defy Fayetteville trampoline park featuring more than 25 trampolines plus a Ninja obstacle course and stunt fall activity involving foam pits.

Spend some time in Downtown Fayetteville.

In its earlier days, it was the hub of commerce but has recently been revitalized. Stop in local boutiques, antique stores, or restaurants.

FAYETTEVILLE: AN INTRODUCTION INTO THE AMERICAN MILITARY AND MORE Fayetteville, North Carolina is a great place to explore on a road trip. The drive is scenic and many treasures await you. Enjoy an offering in North Carolina that doesn’t get nearly the press it deserves.
