SUMMARY:Carroll 250: After the Fashion of His Country - Asia and Asians in the 18th Century Mid-Atlantic
DESCRIPTION:For Adults. This fascinating talk will be presented by Daniel Sieh. Asia was known for centuries in Europe\, and the British were keen to profit off the exotic goods through commerce. This trade was far from a one-sided exchange; it was a dialogue between two very distinct cultures. Goods\, ideas\, and people flowed through trade routes established by the British East India Company and reached as far as the 13 colonies (soon\, the nascent United States). These goods\, and yes\, even people\, arrived as distant foreigners in a strange land\, but left an indelible mark that has only recently been uncovered. Registration is required. Visit site for details.

SUMMARY:Summer Reads: She Talks to Fish with Brian Hester

Set in the mid ’80s\, Maya Jones\, a young\, Black woman from the mountains of North Carolina\, is introduced to fly-fishing through her mentor\, Ed Myers.

Fish are her counsel and through the extension of a fly rod\, Maya finds her space of belonging. Brian Hester\, a native of Boone\, North Carolina\, grew up waist deep in whatever river water he could find so he could develop his craft and love for fly-fishing.

In addition to teaching in the classroom\, he’s also taught hundreds of people to love fly-fishing almost as much as he does. \nHe is a professional painter\, sculptor\, and author.
