  • | 9:00am - 2:00pm | Kids, summer camps, Monroe, NC, 2018, Whisper Creek Farm
    - THREE 5-Day Sessions available this Summer!

    Camp Farm Life is hosted by Whisper Creek Farm, located on 11 acres in rural Monroe, North Carolina, and it is a farm life-themed, free-range, nature-oriented, 5-day summer camp, taking place Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM daily. Sessions are open for children ages 6-12. $179.00 per camper for the week (sibling discount available if you want to register more than one of your children) $50.00 non-refundable deposit holds their spot.

    Camp Farm Life is a co-ed farm experience on a real working farm, surrounded by woods, creeks, fields, and farms where kids WILL get dirty and learn about where their food comes from, and how it gets from the field or pasture to their table. The campers will learn what it takes to produce the food that they see in the grocery stores, but on a much smaller scale than larger, commercial farms.

    Whisper Creek Farm’s produce is grown using organic practices on about three acres of land, and we are home to a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, pigs, quail, and a rabbit. We only keep animals on our farm that contribute to the farm in some way, but sometimes, we may “borrow” a goat, horse, or other animals to broaden the campers’ exposure to other farm animals (depending on the availability of the animal).

    - Special Exhibit: Billy Graham – An Extraordinary Journey
    On February 21, 2018, Billy Graham’s hope and greatest longing was realized as he entered heaven. Today, he is in the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ. God worked through Mr. Graham’s death much like He did through his life, using the events surrounding his passing to open hearts and change lives for eternity through the power of the Gospel. This special exhibit shares the remarkable impact of the events commemorating Billy Graham’s life and ministry – and demonstrates how God is continuing this legacy of evangelism to “bring salvation to the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47).
    Browse fascinating photos, never-before-seen memorabilia, and testimonies from those who have been impacted since Billy Graham’s passing.

  • | NATL - Historical
    - The Korean War began when North Korea invaded South Korea.
    The United Nations, with the United States as the principal force, came to the aid of South Korea. China, with assistance from the Soviet Union, came to the aid of North Korea. The war arose from the division of Korea at the end of World War II and from the global tensions of the Cold War that developed immediately afterwards.
     
           
  • | NATL - Public Interest
    - On this date in 1962 the Supreme Court ruled that a prayer read aloud in public schools violated the First Amendment's separation of Church and state.

  • | 9:00am - 2:00pm | Kids, summer camps, Monroe, NC, 2018, Whisper Creek Farm
    - THREE 5-Day Sessions available this Summer!

    Camp Farm Life is hosted by Whisper Creek Farm, located on 11 acres in rural Monroe, North Carolina, and it is a farm life-themed, free-range, nature-oriented, 5-day summer camp, taking place Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM daily. Sessions are open for children ages 6-12. $179.00 per camper for the week (sibling discount available if you want to register more than one of your children) $50.00 non-refundable deposit holds their spot.

    Camp Farm Life is a co-ed farm experience on a real working farm, surrounded by woods, creeks, fields, and farms where kids WILL get dirty and learn about where their food comes from, and how it gets from the field or pasture to their table. The campers will learn what it takes to produce the food that they see in the grocery stores, but on a much smaller scale than larger, commercial farms.

    Whisper Creek Farm’s produce is grown using organic practices on about three acres of land, and we are home to a variety of animals, including chickens, ducks, pigs, quail, and a rabbit. We only keep animals on our farm that contribute to the farm in some way, but sometimes, we may “borrow” a goat, horse, or other animals to broaden the campers’ exposure to other farm animals (depending on the availability of the animal).

    - Special Exhibit: Billy Graham – An Extraordinary Journey
    On February 21, 2018, Billy Graham’s hope and greatest longing was realized as he entered heaven. Today, he is in the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ. God worked through Mr. Graham’s death much like He did through his life, using the events surrounding his passing to open hearts and change lives for eternity through the power of the Gospel. This special exhibit shares the remarkable impact of the events commemorating Billy Graham’s life and ministry – and demonstrates how God is continuing this legacy of evangelism to “bring salvation to the ends of the earth” (Acts 13:47).
    Browse fascinating photos, never-before-seen memorabilia, and testimonies from those who have been impacted since Billy Graham’s passing.
    Located in the lobby of the Billy Graham Library, this exhibit is free to the public and no pre-registration is required. For more information, please call 704-401-3200.

    But there's more! Every calendar is full of coupons from popular local merchants, so you can save money while supporting small businesses right in your hometown.

    And don't miss our beautiful full-color photography! Every month you'll recognize a new photo from someplace close to home, submitted to us by a local photographer. If you'd like to have your own hometown photos included in our calendar, please contact your local publisher for more information.

    We truly believe it's better to "keep it local". From coast to coast and border to border, our network of franchisees work with organizations and merchants right in their community to make sure you get the information and savings you care about. We prefer to feature family-friendly events that are a short walk or drive away, and coupons from local businesses so you can support your hometown economy.

    If there's something happening close to home that folks in your neighborhood need to know about, why not submit it to us today? Please note that publication of your event is subject to approval by your local Town Planner publisher.
