Looking forward ....

I am working on what exactly I will have for next week, but several items are in the works. We're going to have a very hectic Tuesday, May 19, and some stories may not fully materialize until that afternoon.

We were put in touch with Balazs Szabo a few weeks ago, and he's got big plans for Hillsborough's arts scene. Here's Vanessa's story. This could really change the landscape of downtown space being used as art galleries (though we're not sure yet where the museum would be sited).

This weekend, the big downtown event is the garden tour, and they need volunteers. From the Alliance for Historic Hillsborough:
"As spring approaches it is time to begin thinking about this year’s Garden Tour, scheduled for Saturday, May 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, May 17, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Alliance for Historic Hillsborough expects to have many lovely gardens on this year’s tour, including Helen’s Garden at the Alexander Dickson House (tour headquarters), the Spurgeon Garden at the Burwell School Historic Site, the Dannehower Garden and the gardens at 'Horseshoe in the Dogwood.'
In order to make this event a success, the Alliance is looking for volunteers to donate their time. As in the past, volunteers are only asked to help in shifts and each volunteer will receive one complementary ticket for their time given. If you or someone you know might be interested in helping please let us know. Please contact Sarah Parris at 732-7741 or by email at sarah@historichillsborough.org."

I'll be back tomorrow with some planning for this week and a question about some of our regular items in the print edition. Vanessa is out today (you'll probably see a column or blog soon as to why), but we'll all be back tomorrow.
