The Local Skinny! Bee Jubilee Coming To Granville Expo Center
The Granville County Expo and Convention Center will be abuzz with activity Saturday as the local beekeepers group hosts the 6th annual Bee Jubilee.
Christi Henthorn, president of the Granville County Beekeepers said upwards of 80 vendors will be set up inside and outside for the event, which will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 25.
“It’s growing fast and it’s awesome,” Henthorn said in describing the daylong event. The popular “Year of Honey” raffle will be held on Saturday; tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. The lucky winner will get eight bottles of local honey and four additional “products of the hive,” she said.
The Bee Jubilee is a great way to promote homegrown, handmade items created by area artisans, Henthorn said on Monday’s The Local Skinny! Of course, there will be local honey for sale, but there also will be a variety of home baked goods, jams and jellies available for purchase.
The Oxford Farmer’s Market is relocating for the day to the Expo Center as well.
“It’s a family-friendly event,” Henthorn said, with inflatables and face-painting for the kids, and a half dozen or so food trucks bringing everything from barbecue and burgers to mini-donuts and Italian ices.
The Lord Granville Historical Society is scheduled to create their yummy churned ice cream – always a treat.
Henthorn said folks are welcome to bring their canine family members to walk among the vendors outside.
A live auction will begin at 12 noon in the air-conditioned environs of the auditorium, and Henthorn said there is a variety of top-notch items that will be up for bid, including nukes and bee supplies, a NASCAR-themed package and custom artwork depicting a variety of pollinators.

The Local Skinny! Business Spotlight: Satterwhite Pt. Marina
The season is heating up on Kerr Lake as warmer weather brings out boaters and campers, and that’s just fine for Scott and Catherine Hughes, owners of Satterwhite Point Marina and Rudd’s Creek Marina near Boydton, VA.
The Hughes family is celebrating 30 years at Satterwhite Point Marina, and Catherine told John C. Rose Thursday during the business spotlight feature of The Local Skinny! segment that they work hard to provide good service to folks visiting the lake and they strive to be good community partners.
“It’s hard to believe that Rudd’s Creek has been open for eight years,” she said, adding that husband Scott basically duplicated at Rudd’s Creek what he’d built at Satterwhite.
The marinas have boat storage options in wet slips and she said the hope is to have Drystack storage at the Virginia marina in the next year or so. Right now, that option is only at Satterwhite Point.
Both marinas have lakeside stores with discount marine supplies, lake gifts, signs, snacks and more.
“We always try to support the communities in Henderson and in Mecklenburg County, VA as well,” Hughes said, “ and we appreciate the support we get as well.” She said great employees, great customers and a great place to work make for a winning combination.
“We think we’re lucky to be able to be able to work right on the lake,” she said. “Sometimes it can be demanding or stressful, but the majority of the time, it’s just beautiful.”
