“Ghost Stories on the
Cashie” -- Come out Wednesday, October 30 2013, for a ghostly Ramble on the Cashie River. The journey begins from the dock of the Roa-noke/Cashie River Center, where you will head into the tree-lined darkness down-stream on our pontoon boat. Haunting the way will be Lars Riggins, who will have you in chills and sus-pense with his
scary stories. There will be 2 trips, one from 6:30 to 7:20 and the other from 7:30 to 8:20. Reservations are required and seating is limited, so call the RCRC at 794-2001 to re-serve your seat. Children must be 10 or older and oc-cupied by a parent to ride. The River Center is a facil-ity of the Partnership for the Sounds. There is no charge but a $2 per person dona-tion is requested.

Our goal is to create a unique series of tree
ornaments that depict a new theme each year.
By doing so, we intend to depict a different
aspect of our town. This year’s “Limited Edition”
ornament is now available and is pictured at
left.
Collect the entire series for your children, give
them to employees or simply collect them for
your own enjoyment. These beautiful orna-
ments are also the perfect gift for friends or
family that have moved out of the area. These
ornaments are sure to become a cherished
keepsake and heirloom. Since they are limited
in quantity, they will be sold on a first come,
first sever basis. Don’t wait and miss out on this
unique collectible!
