"We are excited to welcome 2024! As the new year begins, we can look forward to another year of growth and opportunities in our community. We have a variety of events to kick off the new year, and we can't wait to enjoy them with you.

As always, the Pike Road Arts Council is full of the hustle and bustle of activities! On Jan. 18 & 19, you can learn from Craig Reynolds at the Water-Soluble Oil Paint Workshop at the Pike Road Arts Center. Discover this alternative way of painting that can create beautiful results in a calming, friendly environment. Also at the Pike Road Arts Center, you can discover chilling art at the "When It's Cold Outside!" Art Show & Sale. This art show will run from Jan. 21 - Feb. 17, so you have plenty of time to explore these timely pieces.

Speaking of outside, join us for "Home Tweet Home": Bluebird House Workshop on Jan. 29! Although this workshop will be inside at the Pike Road Agriculture, Recreation, & Performing Arts Park, it'll be focused on bluebirds and their natural, outdoor habitat. Participants will learn about Eastern Bluebirds while they create their own birdhouse to bring home!

Lastly, the next Mondays with the Mayor radio program will broadcast LIVE from Mellow Mushroom. Join us on Jan. 29 for community updates, questions, and a delicious bite to eat! This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about our hometown, all while enjoying lunch at one of our newest businesses.

We want to connect with you! Search @townofpikeroad on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter so you never miss an event in the Town of Pike Road.

As always, we will continue to pray for you, and we encourage you to pray for each other.

Thank you and God bless.”
