This year’s Carrboro Day poetry reading includes a new feature — the first annual readings by the winners of the town’s Youth Poetry Contest. Sponsored by Carrboro Recreation & Parks and coordinated by Carrboro’s Poet Laureate Neal McTighe, the contest had more than 50 entries from students in elementary, middle and high school.
The winners will be recognized on Carrboro Day at 4 p.m. at the Town Hall board room, where they and others will participate in the annual poetry reading from 4-5:30 p.m.
This painting is entitled “Cow Now.†It’s by Nathalie Worthington, whose studio is located in the Lost Corner region of Chatham County.

The juried show opened on April 1 and runs through the months of April and May, with a public reception set for April 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Between now and April 27, Panzanella guests are invited to vote for their favorite works from the show.
