Still haven’t found him a gift? Check out the James Stevenson exhibit at the market this weekend. You are bound to find a picture of a local site that resonates with your father – truly a unique and special gift just for dad!
James Stevenson Day at the Market
VCRFM Classroom Saturday, June 16, 2018
Many of you remember Jim Stevenson, local architect, artist, avid sailor and VCRFM vendor. Jim died last fall, but his memory lives on in his numerous paintings and prints. Jim’s watercolors, charcoals, and pen & ink depictions of Henderson’s historic churches, buildings, schools, and lake scenes will be available for purchase June 16th at the farmers market.
In this tribute to Jim, you will also find renditions of our North Carolina coast, wildlife, ships, boats and of course, his beloved Beneteau either moored along the NC coast or sailing the oceans and sounds of our state. Additionally, Jim was a traveler. Expect to find tableaus of famous European sites as well as bucolic countryside scenes. Do not miss this rare opportunity to enhance your art collection with some of James’ work.
Guardian ad Litem at the Market Saturday, June 16, 2018
Each year more than half a million children suffer abuse or neglect, often resulting in the need for court intervention. A Guardian ad Litem volunteer is the eyes and ears for a judge and is the person who tells the child’s story to the court. These volunteers are needed to help judges make decisions regarding the best interest of each child. A volunteer’s advocacy ensures that children have a safe, permanent home and the appropriate care and services to lead a healthy, successful life. Stop by the Guardian ad Litem booth at the farmers market this weekend and find out more about how you may be able to help do what is best for our children.

Vance Co. Cooperative Extension – Parenting Tip Week of 6/18/18

Why is my child misbehaving?
Sometimes it seems that a child will misbehave for no reason. One minute the child is fine, and the next they could be having a tantrum. Taking some time to think of the reason the child may be misbehaving can help parents calm down an upset child or prevent the misbehavior.
Is your child hungry, tired, scared or bored? If so, your child could act up because they are overwhelmed and don’t know what else to do. Pay attention to your child’s cues, and you may be able to avoid a tantrum from a tired and hungry toddler.
