The cooler weather, lower humidity and bright fall colors inspire many to decorate for the season. Pumpkins, dried corn and gourds become art objects. Bennett Place State Historic Site will host members of the North Carolina Gourd Society Saturday, Oct. 6, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a one-day craft making event. The fee is $10 and reservations are required.
Young and old will enjoy this family fun event and the choice of making a great decoration for inside or outside. All levels of experience are welcome. Materials and lunch are included with the reservation fee. Class size is limited to 20.
