What is your overall view of business in Jamestown and what, if anything, should be done to improve it and attract new businesses?
Susan Clinard Dickenson: Hold the out-of-state factories on Main Street financially accountable for their air emissions, groundwater pollution and industrial discharges to Deep River; use the proceeds to celebrate our locally-owned businesses with more shopping events, water quality campaigns, Main Street branding, and marketing campaigns co-developed by citizens AND business owners. Some of the Music in the Park events should be substituted with Art in the Park events to create more social interaction between
residents and business owners. At the Music in the Park events, everyone is focused on the stage.
Rebecca Mann Rayborn: I believe that our businesses are very strong in town, as evidenced by how they adapted to and weathered the pandemic and how quickly new shops move in when others move out. Making the heart of town more connected to the rest of the area through our continued sidewalk projects and beautifying streetscapes will make it a welcoming place for shop and restaurant patrons and businesses. I would like to appoint a council member as a liaison to the Jamestown Business Association in order to stay on top of business needs, as well as make business owners feel welcome to contact our staff and council directly.
Greg Pittman: I love the businesses we have but there are definitely gaps that need to be filled. My vision is to reformat the JBA into
town holds ribbon cutting for new playground
A crowd of interested people, including quite a few parents and children, filled a shelter at Jamestown Park on Sept. 26 to witness the ribbon cutting and opening of the new inclusive playground.
Not only will all children enjoy the different equipment to play on, but, as an inclusive playground, children of all abilities, including special needs, also can enjoy the new playground.
Town officials realized there was a demand and need for all-inclusive and accessible playground equipment at Jamestown Park as they worked on the Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2021. The town is home to two education centers
Author began writing career at age 16
Founded in 1981, High Point Town Meeting soon changed its name to High Point Literary Club. From the beginning, however, its mission has remained the same – to promote literacy and provide members the opportunity to meet the authors of some of their favorite books.
“I never envisioned the league lasting so long,” said charter member Bonnie Cashion during an interview in 2016. “When it started, I just hoped to meet some writers. One thing I noticed about them all is the research they do before even beginning to write. I appreciate that because I like to learn something when I read.”
Author Kristin Harmel is no exception. She admits that as much time goes into researching a book as it does to writing it.
“I research historical events to the best
Scholarship recipient already published
As the name High Point Literary League indicates, its members like books. They enjoy reading the works of well-known authors and twice a year invite one to speak at a special luncheon highlighting their work.
But the group also promotes youth who are interested in literary endeavors. Since 1987, members have provided scholarships each fall to a deserving student at High Point University to support their studies. Qualified students are residents of North Carolina and are nominated by the HPU English department faculty.

Allen Vance Dick
Allen Vance Dick, age 82, of Jamestown, N.C., passed away unexpectedly Sept. 12, 2025. He was at his vacation home on Badin Lake, the place he loved most in the world. Allen was born in Greensboro, N.C. on Dec. 23, 1942 and grew up in the Alamance community.
Allen graduated from Alamance High School in 1961. After a year at Western Carolina University, he was drafted into the Army and served in the Army Signal Corps from 1964 to 1966.
Allen’s entire career was in the commercial heating and air conditioning industry. He worked for Dick & Kirkman Plumbing and Heating, Honeywell Inc., Carrier Corp., and retired from Johnson Controls. During Allen’s years at Johnson Controls, much of his work was in the High Point area, including contracts with the City of High Point, Market Square, the Housing Authority, and the High Point Fire Department.
Allen had an incredible work ethic, as well as other interests to which he devoted his time and energy. In 1971, Allen and his wife, Kathy, were founding members of Jamestown Presbyterian Church. He was involved with the development of the Jamestown Youth League where he coached baseball, football, and basketball. Allen was also one of the creators of The Den, a community based meeting place for high school youth, in Jamestown. Allen’s other interests and hobbies included building and racing go-karts, fishing any chance that he had, and designing, building and flying radio controlled model airplanes. He was a member of the Tarheel Striper Club and the Central Carolina Radio Controlled Model Airplane Club.
Allen was preceded in death by his parents, Roy Craven Dick and Mary Allen Dick. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Kathy Dick; daughter, Michelle; grandson, Miller; brother, Eddie Dick (LouAnn); brother-in-law, Steve Carraway; nieces, nephews, an aunt, many cousins, as well as great nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Allen’s memory to Habitat for Humanity or the N.C. State University School of Veterinary Medicine.
for children with cognitive and/or physical disabilities. Haynes-Inman serves students with special needs, most of whom are considered medically fragile with significant disabilities. C.J. Greene serves students with severe and profound cognitive development delays.
“The specific recreational needs of these local students, alongside the need for replacement of our wellloved existing playground, provides an opportunity to serve the full community with a universally-designed recreation area,” said Scott Coakley, Parks & Recreation director.
Mayor Lynn Montgomery noted that Coakley was probably the most excited person to see the new playground open.
“He’s the person who made this happen,” she said.
“According to the Oxford English Dictionary, there
P l Ay
co N ti NU e D fro M fro N t
are 49 different meaning of the word ‘play,’” Coakley said. “That’s because play means so many things to so many people. Some play athletically, some socially, creatively, competitively — there’s no right way to play. That’s what makes it so powerful. Playing makes us happy.
“What you see before you is the result of vision, dedication and remarkable teamwork. It didn’t happen overnight — it took a village.”
Coakley recognized the many groups and individuals who helped create the playground. Haynes-Inman and C.J. Greene schools both provided letters of support and the Town has met with the schools several times for their input.
“Their staff incites during the design phase helped us make certain the playground is truly inclusive,” he said.
“Our hope is that every
time you set foot in this space, you smile,” Coakley closed.
The Town Council, mayor and Coakley then went into the fenced playground and ceremonially cut the red ribbon, officially opening the new playground. Then, it was every child, man and woman for themselves as the kids flooded into the new play area to try out the slides, swings, etc. The slides and climbing tower, along with the swings, were the most attractive to the children.
The new nature trail and basketball court also opened during the ribbon cutting.
The Town’s portion of the 1-5 grant has been covered by another grant from the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF), which the Town received last year. For every $5 of grant money spent, the Town must spend $1.

pursuing a double major in English and journalism.
“Her academic journey at HPU is a direct reflection of her insatiable curiosity to learn and her passion for storytelling,” said Leigh Ann Venable, head of the scholarship committee, when she introduced Agostinelli at the luncheon. “An avid reader, Malia has always had an eye for telling stories that will impact a broad audience.”
“I chose to attend High Point University because I knew during my four years there I would be given opportunities that wouldn’t have been available to me otherwise,” Agostinelli said. “I also received sufficient scholarship money, and I understood that I would be able to grow not only as a student, but also as a successful writer.”
During her time at HPU, her literary passions have turned into editorial writing, primarily focused on a future in the world of magazines and publishing houses.
“My dream is to work for Condé Nast or a big-five publishing house, where I can share my love of storytelling with the world,” Agostinelli said.
Her desire to write was expanded during the summer when she interned at Interior Design Magazine in New York City. While there, she had the opportunity to interview prominent designers and had six articles published with her byline.
“This experience reflected her passion, techniques and exploration of creativity throughout her writing,” Venable said.
Agostinelli continues to work for the publication as a freelance writer, which enables her to expand her portfolio as a digital journalist.
“This has been the most wonderful experience,” she said.
Although not sure exactly what she will do following graduation in May, Agostinelli has several ideas. She is applying to grad schools to pursue a master’s degree in publishing, and also is applying to jobs at magazines and publishing houses.
“What really sticks out to me is moving to Spain to teach English for a year,” Agostinelli said. “I am not sure what the future holds yet, but I know that no matter what, as long as I am writing I will be happy.”
When not studying or writing, Agostinelli enjoys reading, cooking and travel, with an emphasis on travel. She also likes to spend time with friends and is deeply involved in the Alpha Chi Omega sorority and serves as vice president of Philanthropy.
As her future unfolds, perhaps Agostinelli may return to a High Point Literary League luncheon one day, not as a scholarship recipient, but as its guest author.

of my ability, not just because I care about accuracy, but because the idea of turning real history into fiction fascinates me.”
Harmel spoke to a packed crowd at the Fall 2025 High Point Literary League luncheon Sept. 17 at High Point Country Club.
The author graduated from the University of Florida. She has written more than a dozen novels that have been published in more than 30 languages around the world. But she actually began her professional writing career at the age of 16.
“I knew I wanted to write novels and planned to major in journalism in college,” Harmel said. “Meanwhile I read books on how to write for magazines. In a query letter, I guess I made myself sound older and got a job for a local sports magazine.
“I wrote for a couple of months before meeting the editor. The first thing he asked was, “How old are you?’ But he said I could write so he would keep me on.”
Harmel says she enjoyed writing sports profiles, what goes into the making of an athlete, for a minor league baseball team.
At the age of 23, she found herself maxed out of allotted writing hours for People Magazine during the next several months and decided to move to Paris.
“I minored in Spanish in college and had never spoken French,” Harmel said. “But I think that was the summer I became me.”
She began writing romantic comedy, but in 2012 turned to historic fiction with the book “The Sweetness of Forgetting.” Before starting to write each novel, she reads as much as possible, interviews historians and experts and talks to survivors of the topic.
She may do some research during her writing, but it is to qualify small details, not change the story line.
Her advice to new writers is to read to gain insight into the rhythm of storytelling. Then, outline a favorite book that has been successful to help understand flow, structure and character development. As a safety net, she likes to outline all her books so she always knows where the story is going.
“The story might change a little from the outline to the end of the book as characters develop,” Harmel said. “An outline provides a road map, but there are different routes you can take.”
Her next book is due to be published in August 2026. It follows the style of one of her favorite movies, Love Actually, and features seven interwoven love stories that take place over the course of a week in modern day Paris.
Harmel does more than craft stories, however. She and other bestselling authors, Mary Kay Andrews, Kristy Woodson Harvey and Patti Callahan Henry host “Friends & Fiction,” a live Facebook and YouTube show each Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern time. They chat with some of the biggest names in publishing today.
A breast cancer survivor, Hamel admits she had to pause writing while undergoing treatment. But as an author, she felt compelled to share her journey with breast cancer with others. She announced it on the weekly web show and uses book tours to encourage women over 40 to get a breast exam.
As the life of the main character in her current bestseller, “The Stolen Life of Colette Marceau,” is defined due to her choices, so is every life, Harmel says.
“Think about your choices. Life is too short to be anything other than what you want to be.”

“Downtown Jamestown, Inc” — a 501(c)(3) committed to creating a vibrant downtown district through preservation-based community revitalization. The focus would be to foster and stimulate economic growth. This would be led and achieved through a dynamic public-private partnership, uniting downtown stakeholders, the Town of Jamestown and institutional partners who all share a common vision of a thriving Jamestown. Establishing the “DJI” would attract new businesses to Jamestown, support and promote existing businesses, and provide grant opportunities for the Downtown District.
How can/could the traffic flow in Jamestown be improved?
Dickenson: For one, instead of spending millions of dollars on more sidewalks, make Jamestown a safer town in which to drive. There are too many deep ditches, overgrown, invisible culverts and steep drops along Jamestown’s side roads — they’re dangerous. I don’t see why more guardrails can’t be put up in these areas. The fact that some of them fall just outside the Jamestown town boundaries doesn’t diminish the fact that they are the roads leading in and out of Jamestown. Also, some of the painted lines on the roads in and around town are so faded and hard to see. Something needs to be done about smoothing the train track crossings at Main Street, and the jarring bumps on Main Street near the Ragsdale football field. Stoplight wait times in town are too long, while some of the stoplights on the Jamestown Parkway are so short, you barely make it through a green light before it turns yellow.
Rayborn: The opening of the bypass has improved traffic in town, although use of it is still growing among people who are so used to driving through town. I support adding traffic calming measures like medians with trees and visual cues such as changes in roadway texture at the entrance to downtown that would naturally slow traffic. The town is soon embarking on a Main Street corridor study that will show us the best ways to encour-
FrOM THe FrONT
age alternate routes for those trying to get between Greensboro and High Point quickly, and to slow traffic through our downtown area.
Pittman: Public parking, adding raised crosswalks with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) at critical points down Main Street and/or near the schools in Jamestown, bike lanes, establishing a social district for certain days or times to reduce vehicle traffic and encourage foot traffic, developing pedestrian and bicycle-friendly initiatives such as electric scooter or bike-share programs. These are lower cost and low-effort options that will have a big impact on the flow of traffic in Jamestown.
What is the best way to show parking options to visitors?
Dickenson: By offering more parking options. Work with the owners of some of these vacant, contaminated properties (especially on Main Street) and put a couple of parking lots in their place.
Rayborn: Our parking options are relatively wellmarked currently, but the addition of a town map (perhaps at Wrenn Miller Park or near the library) would also be helpful for visitors.
Pittman: The real question is how do we create accessible and public parking options in Jamestown. Having the standard “P” or “Public Parking” directional signs is the easiest place to begin. Information boards at three or four strategic points along Main Street to promote foot-traffic and showcase the local businesses and historic sites. Also, our town website could certainly stand to be upgraded a bit to have parking information readily available.
Please list any other issues you would like to see addressed by the town.
Dickenson: As the cost of our water continues to rise, we need to know EXACTLY how much we are using and if anything is leaking, in real time. We should also be billed in fractional usage increments instead of rounding up to the next whole number CCF. It’s like a gas pump — if you put 4.2 gallons into your car, you aren’t billed for 5 gallons. The SENSUS SRII water meter that the Town of Jamestown installed in my yard has the ability to provide this information via a customer portal, but it is up to the town to set it up. I’ll also continue to push for consistent ongoing
water and air testing, monitoring and public reporting. It’s affordable and highly informative, which makes it even more unconscionable that this isn’t a top priority of this town. But if I start talking about that, I’ll never stop.
Rayborn: I have lots of ideas about how to build upon our town’s many assets. Rather than go into all of them, I’ll focus on one. The clubhouse at Jamestown Park Golf Course will be paid off in 2027, which will afford us opportunities to expand its uses for the future. I would like to reenvision the former grill to be a place that still caters to golfers, but is also a gathering space for the entire community. With our new accessible playground and nature trails, nearby pedestrian bridge, increased play at our golf course and the continued popularity of the greenway, Jamestown Park is populated from dawn until dusk. Partnering with a local restaurant or individuals to revitalize the grill could grow its offerings to include coffee and light breakfasts, as well as an all-day menu expanded beyond hot dogs and sandwiches.
Pittman: Staffing and recruiting process deserves a thorough review to ensure the town receives top tier applicants and to make sure the right people are in the right roles. This is especially important since our personnel expenses have grown exponentially over the past 2-4 years. Plus, more transparency in general.
Describe Jamestown in 1-5 words.
Dickenson: Charming But Needs More Attention. Rayborn: Historic, quaint, charming, idyllic. Pittman: Charming. Historic. Community. Home.
Additional questions were asked during the JBA’s Candidate Forum on Sept. 10. Following are the mayoral candidate replies. Pittman did not participate as he had now announced his candidacy at the time.
How would you approach making tough budget cuts if revenues decline or costs increase significantly?
Dickenson: The mayor’s role is to serve in a tiebreaker position, but I hope the mayor has a lot of input into the budget development. I’m a bit confused by the way our town does its budget. I know there’s a fiscal year, a budget process that the town manager proposes. The numbers from
last year are used to create a budget going forward. But the numbers are not finalized until there’s an audit that happens by a certain date, now Dec. 31. I was interested in seeing the salary portion for the year for the golf/recreation division but it’s not available until the end of the year, even though the numbers were used from now going forward. There are about 10 different places to look for these numbers on the website, all sorts of financial documents that seem to fight or contradict with each other. A lot of things are hidden in the packets with the minutes. What I’m trying to say is, more clarity, please. A software system where we can see what’s happening with our money every single day. I think that’s possible.
Citizens often say they do not wish for additional development yet they also want high levels of service and no higher taxes. How would you approach this paradox?
Rayborn: “That is a challenge. A vital piece is educating folks. A lot of the issues when it comes to discussing about development is people don’t always recognize what we are mandated by law to accept. Every development should enhance the community. A lot of time development gets a negative connotation because people don’t understand what we can and can’t do. Development and taxes — they’ll think that’s bad across the board. Listening and figuring out what is the root issue they’re talking about and trying to come to an equal understanding about what kind of tax money we need to keep the services we have and how do we balance that out with other issues like development, fees, etc.
How would you balance growth with preserving Jamestown’s small-town character and sense of community?
Dickenson: “Growth is wonderful: increased tax revenue is great, growing economy, more vibrant residential base. But there is a responsibility and accountability that must be first and foremost. For me, that is making sure the Town has all the resources and people and structure in place in order to manage that growth and be able to service its citizens with the most basic services. I feel like the current structure of the Town is not in alignment with the direc-
tion we’re heading. Reorganization is a great thing and opens up new opportunities and a new way to look at things. Our town needs to put more resources into taking care of itself because a lot is not being done any more at the state and federal level. It starts with a overall assessment of where we are and where that aligns with where we want to be.”
What are your priorities for infrastructure investment, roads, water, sewer, parks in the next several years?
Rayborn: “Luckily we have a Capital Improvement Plan that we think about certainly during budget season but in between as well. We have a guide we can go through for immediate needs. We also have the Envision Jamestown Comprehensive Plan, a Main Street Corridor Study coming up. I’m excited we live in a place where we are constantly thinking about those things. We are always looking for grant funding and different types of funding. Our grants administrator is always looking into projects that are coming up that we know we’ll have to deal with, looking for grants and other funding sources. We evaluate roads on a regular basis to try and figure out which will need resurfacing or improving in the next year, three years, five years. We’re able to plan out in advance. If there’s a disaster or something that throws a wrench into things, we have a healthy fund balance that can help pay for those emergency needs. By being aware of the needs all the time and having really good employees we can anticipate potential problems far in advance.
What should Council do better involving youth and young adults in shaping Jamestown’s future?
Dickenson: “They could probably do better with all ages in town — good oldfashioned communication. I have a non-profit information site, sharing data and facts. The Jamestown News does a fantastic job — but it’s once a week. Our town doesn’t stop at 5:00 and is still going on the weekends. The richness of what I have gotten from talking to people 24-7 and being able to post photos of events that just happened. People miss that and need that. One thing about a small town is that you are living next to each other and seeing things happen day-to-day and there’s much more intimacy. But
that common thread where we all can check in and see what’s going on is missing. It applies to all ages.”
What specific steps would you take to improve communication between Council and residents?
Dickenson: “Aside from the Town Council meetings, I would like to see a task force kind of setup where there’s a topic. We want to find out if they’re serving everyone here in Jamestown or if we should add something, like pickleball courts. Make sure it’s an amenity that is not used more by people who don’t live here. I would broadcast that on the communication channels we have. There needs to be a monthly sitting around a table with residents so they are not limited to three minutes [at Council meetings] where they have to give their address so it will be on YouTube forever, which I’m very much against. Residents can come in and speak back and forth. There’s nothing like that here at all. There is so much talent and so many ‘smarts’ in this town — it’s the best thing about Jamestown — untapped potential and creative ideas that we’re missing out on.
How would you handle a situation where something is being shared in the community that isn’t entirely accurate? What would you say to make people feel confident in the facts?
Rayborn: “I would first look at what was being said and make sure it is completely inaccurate. I’ve had situations where I’ve spoken with folks who have been saying inaccurate things but in talking to them I’m finding what the actual issue behind that might be and working on ways to resolve other things. Maybe the issue is the way someone has seen it and the root problem maybe isn’t that particular thing. You have to figure out how to go back to the root and figure out how to fix the feeling. Being really proactive about it, open with communication and trying to get ahead of that kind of thing so people realize that if they hear something odd, they will question it. Hopefully they would come and ask questions about it.
I’ve been a big proponent of having information sessions or workshops about issues that can be contentious. A big part of the decisionmaking process is, ‘What is legal? What do we have to do legally?’ and figuring out how to work around that.

Caught Stealing (R)
— The way Austin Butler (Eddington) continues building on his career with standout leading roles is quickly propelling him into one of the top movie stars of our decade. Although his latest film has an incredible supporting cast (Zoe Kravitz, Regina King, Liev Schreiber and more!), Butler’s performance as baseball-star-turned-bartender
Hank Thompson is pivotal in this vibrant crime thriller. Still carrying trauma from a car crash that injured him and killed his friend, Hank is a shell of who he once was as he battles an alcohol addiction and emotional unavail-
ability. When his British punk neighbor, Russ (Matt Smith), abruptly leaves for London, he leaves Hank his cat to care for. Having to shuffle in between their apartments for the cat, Hank is then greeted by a pair of Russian mobsters who are looking for Russ and won’t take “no” for an answer. The aftermath that ensues is chaos upon chaos that not a single viewer could predict. You can rent the film when it releases digitally on Sept. 30!

Weapons (R) — This comedy-horror film, led by Josh Brolin (Brothers) and horror aficionado Julia Garner (Wolf Man), pulled in $264 million worldwide after a $38 million cost, making it quite the success financially. It also received rave reviews from horror fans and film critics, so it might be the perfect watch for you if you’re looking for something more terrifying than the other suggestions! The film follows a third-grade class of 17 children who go missing in a very eerie way. All
the children escaped from their houses at exactly 2:17 a.m. and ran to an unknown destination, where they’re nowhere to be found. The teacher of the third-grade class, Justine (Garner), becomes the primary suspect behind their disappearances. But when no evidence points to her, and the police prove to be lackluster, one of the parents, Archer (Brolin), starts conducting his own investigation. The story is told in a nonlinear way, leaving viewers to wonder if Justine and Archer will put the pieces together quickly enough to find and save the missing kids. Rent it now.

The Humble cauliflower gets a Golden, Gooey Makeover
By PAtti diAmond
oN a DiMe
Quick! Before we get swept away! While pumpkins, apples, squash and cranberries are stealing the spotlight this time of year, I’d like us to pause for a moment and give cauliflower a little love.
This humble, versatile cruciferous vegetable is often taken for granted, but it deserves a standing ovation. Roasted, riced, mashed or pizza crusted, cauliflower plays just about any role you ask of it, and today it’s stepping into the starring role in a creamy, cheesy gratin that will win over even the pickiest of eaters.
What does “au gratin” mean? Literally, it translates from French as “with a crust.” In cooking, it refers to a dish topped with a golden, bubbly layer, usually made of cheese or breadcrumbs, or both. For this cauliflower gratin, the rich, velvety cheese sauce melds with tender florets and browns lightly in the oven, creating a luscious, flavorful topping that’s as appealing to the eyes as it is to the palate.

ing side dish that’s simple, elegant and utterly irresistible.
yield: 4 to 6 servings total time: 35 minutes
1 head cauliflower, in bite-size florets
For the cheese sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk (or milk of choice) 1/2 teaspoon thyme, plus extra to sprinkle on top
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
1 cup (4 ounces) sharp cheddar cheese, white or yellow, shredded, plus extra for topping
Preheat your oven to 375 F. Spray a 2-1/2-quart baking dish or 9-x9-inch
baking pan with nonstick cooking spray, or grease with olive oil or butter.
Bring a big pot of water to boil and cook cauliflower until just barely tender, about five minutes. Drain thoroughly and place into a medium-size casserole.
In a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add flour and whisk a minute or two until flour starts to look a little dry but hasn’t browned. Whisk in milk, bring to a boil and stir until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon and not fill in the line when a finger is run across it. Remove from heat and add cheese, in small handfuls, stirring after each until each addition is well incorporated. Add most of the thyme, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour the sauce over the
cauliflower, using a spoon to stir the florets, if necessary, so all are coated. If desired, top with a little additional cheese and sprinkle the top with the remaining pinch of thyme. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned in spots.
Cheese Variations: For a different flavor profile, try white cheddar (pictured), Gruy√®re, Swiss or smoked Gouda — each will give the gratin a unique richness. You can even mix two cheeses for a more complex flavor.
Optional Mix-Ins: Cooked bacon or pancetta bits for a smoky touch. Sauteed mushrooms for earthy depth. Finely chopped caramelized onions for a hint of sweetness. A handful of cooked spinach or kale for extra color and nutrients.
So, the next time you’re caught up in the swirl of pumpkins and pies, remember the quiet brilliance of cauliflower. This creamy gratin proves that even the humblest vegetable can take center stage when given a little love (and a lot of cheese). Serve it alongside your favorite fall mains and watch it disappear — because sometimes the supporting cast deserves a standing ovation.
The event will be held at FurnitureLand South, 5635 Riverdale Dr., Jamestown, from 7 to 11 p.m. and feature all-you-can-eat barbecue pork and chicken from BBQ Joe’s Country Cooking & Catering.
Above & Beyond Catering will delight discerning palates with Southern sides and desserts. Beer and wine are included with the meal. Dress is outdoor casual and guests are limited to those 21 years and older. Dynamic Sound will provide musical entertainment.
