Here are a few items that came in after we went to press and are relevant for the weekend.
• Hillsborough part of 'North Carolina Weekend' — The town will be featured in a segment on UNC-TV's "North Carolina Weekend" program, which airs tonight at 9 p.m. and is re-run on Fridays and Saturdays (check local listings for the channel). The program will tour Historic Hillsborough and will also make stops in Washington, Southport and Pilot Mountain. Recent editions of the program online at www.unctv.org/ncweekend.
• Or do it yourself — The Second Saturday Hillsborough Guided Walking Tour is held this week at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Come to the Alexander Dickson House, 150 E. King St., and explore Hillsborough's history on a 90-minute guided walking tour through its historic district. The cost is $5. For more information, call 732-7741 or visit www.historichillsborough.org.
• If it involves trash and Orange County, I'm probably spending my evening there — The Orange County Board of Commissioners has added a work session at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 14, at the Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Road in Chapel Hill. They will be discussing solid waste issues, and have invited town governments to participate. This is not, to my knowledge, a decision item but a long-term planning talk outside of the current site search process.
• Town opening another park — Hillsborough officials will cut the ribbon on King's Highway Park, 1001 Ben Johnston Road, this Saturday at 10 a.m.
This will take the place of my weekly Friday "this weekend" post because I'll be out after noon tomorrow, FYI.
