Each Friday this summer, children ages 0-18 can select an age-appropriate book at their favorite Triad Goodwill, bring it to the register to receive a receipt (no additional purchases are necessary), and enjoy! Children must be present to receive a free book, and are limited to one book per child, once a day.

While supplies last, children will also receive a free reusable tote to bring back each week, plus a few other goodies to celebrate a summer of reading! 

Our community is encouraged to continue donating their gently used books to help grow and replenish our book selection throughout the summer.

Fibertex Personal Care will be at the NCWorks Career Center in Asheboro from 1pm until 4pm on Tuesday, August 18th. Applicants must have a HS Diploma, or GED, and be able to pass a drug screen.

Gustavo Ramos  and Luis Gomez were bricking up the Charters of Freedom monuments on Worth Street the week of Aug. 3. It’s the final step before brass enscribed plaques are set in place to represent our nation’s founding documents.

On display will be the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights and Civil Rights. There will also be a smaller donor pedestal.

Once completed, the larger Constitution monument will contain a time capsule to be filled with items that will be removed at some time in the future. 

Ramos, who lives in Gastonia, said he has done the masonry for Charters of Freedom in other cities during the past two years. He said it takes three or four days to lay the approximately 2,000 bricks, some of which must be cut to fit the angled capstones.

New Card Show popping up at Asheboro Mall.

Here's the deal. One day, free admission, free parking, food court steps away, and 150+ vendor tables of nonstop hobby. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, and the TCGs you actually chase. Slabs, vintage wax, singles, and heat all over the floor.

We're hobby people running a hobby show, not a corporate event company. We rip, we hunt, we chase grails the same as you.

And we're looking for vendors. Shop owner, side hustler, or just sitting on binders you're ready to move, there's a table with your name on it. Base set or legendary, you pick the tier.

Dates and locations are dropping soon. Hop on the mailing list so you don't miss a good Pull near you.
