Valentine’s Day Shopping with Heart on Busbee Road, Seagrove, February 10-11.
The Seagrove Potters of Historic Busbee Road will once again present a weekend experience designed for enjoyable Valentine’s Day shopping on Friday and Saturday, the 10th and 11th of February. Refreshments, decorations and Valentine’s colors and festivities will greet shoppers and give them an opportunity to talk to the potters and craft people.
When the group discussed the possibility of a second Busbee Road, Valentine’s Day event, all were in agreement that the first had been a success. “Last year's Valentines event was enjoyed by all who came. It was a time of the year when pottery customers weren't used to the "something extra" we put out for them simply with decorating and refreshments, and it seemed to go over well,” said Mary Farrell of Westmoore Pottery. This year the group will put even more heart into the event with each of the shops donating 5% of their sales on Friday and Saturday to a charity of their choice. The charities will include St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Sandhills Children’s Center, Brenner Children's Hospital, Humane Society of Moore County, Robbins Area Christian Ministries and Breast Cancer Research.
Eleven shops, including three museums, a jeweler, a blacksmith and a wide variety of other crafts, all in less than a three mile scenic drive, where pottery has been made continuously for over 100 years. There is something for everyone on your list in the shops starting on Busbee Road at Pottery Highway 705 and ending at Jugtown Road.
