The Haywood County Arts Council’s “Small Works” exhibit will run through Thursday, Dec. 31, in the Haywood Handmade Gallery at the HCAC in downtown Waynesville. The annual exhibit expands the types of work for sale in the downtown Waynesville gallery, as well as who can display their work. With dozens of artists participating, the exhibit promises to be eclectic. “Small Works is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our local artists and find meaningful, one-of-a-kind gifts,” said HCAC Executive Director Tonya Harwood. “Every purchase supports the talented artists who make Haywood County such a special place.” Although the only requirement is that the pieces be 12 inches in any dimension or smaller in any dimension, HCAC challenges participants who are making holiday themed works to consider artistic expressions that are multicultural in nature and celebrate the many different holidays — including the ways of celebrating and ways of experiencing holidays.

Your carry-on fits only if you sit on it. Do you try the airport sizer?

Your suitcase is slightly larger than the airline allows, although it has fit overhead on previous flights. Checking it costs extra and risks missing a connection. Other passengers have equally questionable bags and staff are checking inconsistently.

Does uneven enforcement weaken a traveler's duty to follow the rule?
