Secret Society of Crafters – Hearts on Fiber
Nov 14 @ 10:00 a.m.
208 South Main Street
Crafting is more fun with other people, which is why we created the “Secret” Society of Crafters. The title says “secret,” but we’re a not-so-secret, not-so-exclusive group who meets to stitch, craft, crochet, knit, sit and talk. We may or may not talk about knitting, yarn bombing, hand dying, or the latest stitch. We may even talk about world domination. You won’t know unless you come. Connect with crafters in the area, find the motivation to pick up that project again, and benefit from the wisdom of a passionate crafting group. The “Secret” Society of Crafters meets outside the store every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:00 AM weather permitting. We hope to see you there!

THE VOTE COLLECTORS
Nov 18 @ 8:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Join Main Street Books for an evening with MICHAEL GRAFF and NICK OCHSNER with moderator MICHAEL KRUSE as they discuss THE VOTE COLLECTORS
ABOUT THE BOOK – In The Vote Collectors, Michael Graff and Nick Ochsner tell the story of the political shenanigans in Bladen County, exposing the shocking vulnerability of local elections and explaining why our present systems are powerless to monitor and prevent fraud. In their hands, this tale of rural corruption becomes a fascinating narrative of the long clash of racism and electioneering—and a larger story about the challenges to democracy in the rural South. At a time rife with accusations of election fraud, The Vote Collectors shows the reality of election stealing in one southern county, where democracy was undermined the old-fashioned way: one absentee ballot at a time.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS – Michael Graff is a reporter at Axios Charlotte. Nick Ochsner is chief investigative reporter at WBTV in Charlotte, NC.
ABOUT MICHAEL KRUSE – Michael Kruse is a senior staff writer at POLITICO and POLITICO Magazine. Writing about the people in politics who matter the most and why, he has won the National Press Foundation’s Everett McKinley Dirksen Award for Distinguished Reporting of Congress, a National Headliner Award for his coverage of Donald Trump and an honorable mention for the Toner Prize for Excellence in National Political Reporting. Prior to joining POLITICO, at the Tampa Bay Times, he won the American Society of News Editors’ distinguished non-deadline writing award, the Paul Hansell Award for Distinguished Achievement in Florida Journalism and other state, regional and national honors. His work has been anthologized in The Best American Newspaper Narratives, Out There: The Wildest Stories from Outside Magazine, and Next Wave: America’s New Generation of Great Literary Journalists. A native of the Boston area and a graduate of Davidson College, he lives in North Carolina with his wife, two daughters, two dogs, a fish and a cat.
