Each year, more than 4,000 people attend the all-you-can-eat event supporting the local community. The Pancake meal features a selection of buttermilk pancakes, buckwheat pancakes, sausage, gravy, and all the fixings.
“Pancake Days is our largest event of the year and returns for the first time since we were unable to have the event in 2020,” says Emily Handy, President of Meadows of Dan Ruritan Club. “Pancake Days is a generational event that brings everyone together at the heart of our community, and we cannot wait to welcome everyone back this year.”
Proceeds from Pancake Days benefit various local community causes and organizations including the volunteer fire department, rescue squad, schools, college scholarships, food drives, and other needs in Patrick County.
“Families from miles around come together to host Pancake Days,” says Debra Shelor, Ruritan Treasurer. ”The impact on our community is significant by supporting youth education, ensuring our local safety squad can care for area residents, and that our community building remains a place for all area events.”
Prices at the door are $12 for adults, and $6 for children ages twelve and under. Cash and credit cards will be accepted. To-go orders are available and Neese’s freshly ground sausage, seasoned just right, will be available for sale, too. Commemorative tee shirts will be available for purchase.
Tax-deductible donations are being accepted online for those who cannot attend. Visit the RuritanMOD.square.site for more information or to donate today.

Event! December 10th through December 18th. Sunday through Thursday, 6 PM to 8 PM and Friday and Saturday, 6 PM to 9 PM.

Families and friends will enjoy this drive-
thru Christmas event from the warmth of
their own cars as they journey through
the illuminated paths around DeHart
Park.
We are excited to be able to bring this
wonderful event to you for a second year.
What better way than to open up the
event to local businesses, groups, and
families to add their own personal
displays! Own an insurance company?
Think “Santa’s wrecked sleigh!” Work in a

displays also.

Last year our StoryTime Castle party was virtual due to the
pandemic. This year we are hoping (and planning) for a more
normal celebration on Saturday, April 30th. Contact us for
more information as the time approaches.
BOOKMOBILING WITH GAYLE WAGONER
Gayle Wagoner is our new bookmobile coordinator! Tammy
Cope left to become the branch manager of the Martinsville
library in November (Congrats Tammy!) and Gayle took over
the job of driving Miss Lady (our bookmobile has a name, of
course) to our far flung patrons all over Patrick County. Gayle
is especially loving her interactions with the kids at the primary
and elementary schools! She already has tales to tell.
STORYTIME WITH SAM
Samantha (Sam) Edmondson is our new Children’s
Programmer at the Patrick Library. Sam had been working with
Gayle and Tammy on many children’s programs for the past
few years. Sam also started and runs our Lego program.
LIBRARY AND SEED GARDEN

library “bloom!” This spring they will begin planting in the newly

The Stokes County Arts Council is pleased to announce the opening of an exhibit of original art by Eileen Wilhelm in the Apple Gallery. A reception is scheduled for Friday, August 19 from 5:30pm-7:00pm in the Apple Gallery of the Stokes County Arts Council 500 Main Street Danbury, NC.
Wilhelm shared: “Living on a horse farm in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, I am never at a loss for images and inspiration, watching how the light changes with the seasons and trying to capture its beauty. My paintings attempt to recreate the mood, whether a drizzly day in France, foggy sunrise on the mountain, the cocky strutting of a rooster or the curiosity of a pig. The grace of people and animals enchants me so that I must pick up my pastels and paint. I mostly paint everyday scenes, which keep me grounded.”
Wilhelm has been juried into numerous exhibits, including:
• The Milton Rhodes Center for the Arts, Winston-Salem
• 311 Gallery, Raleigh
• Red Dog Gallery, Winston-Salem
• Hanging Rock Gallery (Solo exhibit)
• Apple Gallery (Solo exhibit)
• Red Dog Gallery Featured Artist exhibit
• The Art Gallery, Greensboro
• Ambleside Gallery
• Welborn Gallery (Yadkinville Cultural Arts Center)
• Captain White’s Gallery (Alamance Arts)
• Left Coast Pastel Society 2022 International Show
• North Carolina Statewide Exhibition
Wilhelm is a featured local artist at Tim Bruce Galleries, The Arts Place of Stokes, and the Red Dog Gallery. She is a member of Art for Arts Sake, Piedmont Pastel Society (Past President , Member Chair and Treasurer), Pastel Society of NC , Pastel Guild of Europe, Yadkinville, Stokes County , and Surry Arts Councils. She previously served on the boards of Associated Artists and Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA).
This exhibit will be on display August 16-September 30, 2022 in the Apple Gallery. The Stokes County Arts Council is open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:00am-6:00pm, Saturday, 10:00a.m.-6:00p.m. and Sunday 12:00pm-6:00pm.
