SPEND ENOUGH time in Edenton this Friday and Saturday, and you'll eventually feel inspired, exhausted or a little of both.
Town organizers have just the thing to help you create your own historic-home look or take a load off your feet.
The Edenton Bay Art Show, sponsored by the Chowan Arts Council, will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days at the Courthouse Green.
Among some 40 entrants are jewelry-makers Lynn Anowitz of Providence, R.I., and Bill Bunnell of Kill Devil Hills. Patricia Roundtree of Carollton, Va., will present banners.
Edenton's Paris Trail is sure to draw crowds with his sculptures. He will be joined at the show by another local, painter Barbara Sant.
Other art forms include pottery, painted furniture, photographs, mixed media and watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings. All entries will be for sale.
Those who might be interested in adorning their own abodes with traditional pieces will want to catch the Albemarle Craftsman's Guild Show & Sale in the John A. Holmes High School cafeteria on North Broad Street. The two-day show will include woodworking, dollmaking and other ``old-timey'' talents from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is $2.
Also on Broad Street is the Edenton-Chowan Recreation Center, site of the Antique Show & Sale, which runs 4-7 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $3.
Looking for a perfect way to cap the pilgrimage weekend? Try Chowan Arts Council's ``Music a la Carte'' at 8 p.m. Saturday in Swain Auditorium.
Admission is $5 and guests will be treated to a choral festival of sacred and secular music performed by varied groups.
The Young Singers of St. Patrick's, composed of 72 children in fourth through sixth grade, will drive down from Washington, D.C., to deliver a high-caliber repertoire heard previously at the Kennedy Center.
Samuel Burke will direct Schola Cantorum, a chamber choir from the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina.
For ``barbershop-style'' singing, there's Edenton's own Albemarle Sounds.
The Carolina Concert Chorale from the Outer Banks will belt out Brahms' ``Liebeslider Waltzes.''
From Elizabeth City comes The Master's Twelve, a Roanoke Bible College singing group.
Rounding out the festival roster will be The Combined Choirs of the Community, which includes Bertie, Gates, Halifax, Hertford and Northampton counties, and The Evelyn A. Johnson Community Singers, comprising Camden, Pasquotank and Perquimans county vocalists. by CNB
