Nearby: New Bern, NCThe weekend of Oct. 16-18 was a testament of the beauty and rejuvenation that comes from reuniting with individuals 35 years after a monumental event like high school graduation. As a member of New Bern Senior High School Class of 1991 from New Bern, North Carolina, I had the distinct pleasure of reminiscing and creating new memories with people I haven’t seen in many years. My classmates and I came from near and far to hug, fellowship, talk, laugh, dance and reconnect in ways that soothed my soul, reminded me of my roots and caused me to express deep gratitude for my upbringing in a city that nurtured loving, lifelong relationships. With a graduating class of over 300 students, my classmates and I have always had a special sense of pride and nostalgia that is unique to us. We were the last class to attend high school at the location that is now Grover C. Fields Middle School.

Nearby: New Bern, NCThe Children’s Museum of New Bern has selected Taylor Kilgus as its inaugural executive director just a month before its planned opening to help wrap up final developments, manage donor relations and make important decisions about the museum’s direction. The Children’s Museum said in an announcement that Kilgus would take the reins on the project and help apply the finishing touches before it opens sometime in December, a little over a year after the New Bern Board of Aldermen voted unanimously to lease the city building at 408 Hancock St. in New Bern to the We Can Be Association for $1 a year for a five-year term to create the museum. The WCBA is a nonprofit established in 2020 in New Bern that provides financial assistance, therapy scholarships, equipment funding and out-of-pocket medical expense support for children with special needs throughout eastern North Carolina. Any proceeds made over the operating costs of the museum will go back toward WCBA’s original mission.

Nearby: Mount Olive, NCThe Mount Olive Area Chamber of Commerce organizes the annual Mount Olive Christmas Parade in downtown Mount Olive. This year, the parade will be held on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 10 a.m. Each year, the chamber board of directors selects an individual to serve as the grand marshal. The chosen person is someone who went above and beyond and made a difference in the community. Mount Olive Chamber President Julie Beck stated, “This year, the task of choosing one person was next to impossible. We have three companies in our community celebrating milestone anniversaries, and we simply could not choose one person. For the first time ever, we will have three grand marshals. The three companies have been celebrating anniversaries all year long, and it seemed appropriate to recognize leaders from all three at the Mount Olive Christmas Parade.
