Beekeeping: The Foxfire Way & Now- September 17th

September 11, 2016

Visit Cedarock Park Historical Farm in Burlington- September 17th, 1:00pm, for a presentation by NC-certified beekeepers Ira Poston of Blueberry Hill Apiaries and Paul Jollay of the Glencoe Honey Company. Ira and Paul join us again this year to present a workshop on beekeeping practices, past and present. They will have honey to sample, honey for sale, a demonstration hive, take-home seeds to grow your own bee-friendly flowers, and copies of their favorite reference materials for participants to look through. Ira and Paul are members of the Alamance County Beekeepers, a chapter of the North Carolina State Beekeepers Association. Ira & Paul’s presentation was a favorite last year- don’t miss it!

The Foxfire in Cedarock Park series was inspired by the famous Foxfire books and celebrates the traditions of Appalachian culture. It is co-sponsored by Alamance Parks and Alamance County Public Libraries. So far this year we’ve enjoyed presentations on canning, woodturning, and a variety of old-time trades and skills at the Preserving Our Heritage Festival. The series will end with Ghosts in the Park Storytelling on October 15th, after the Celebrate Cedarock! Fall Festival.

These events are free and open to the public. For more information please visit www.alamance-nc.com/rec, visit us on Facebook at facebook.com/cedarockpark, or give us a call at 336 229 2410.
