The annual Celebrate Flat Rock day will be held this Saturday, June 5.  It’s always a fun afternoon for the younger kids. They get free ice cream, face-painting, balloon-making, and fake tattoos.

For the adults there’s good live music, pottery making, a half-price day at the Book Exchange, and walking tours of the Carl Sandburg house. And at 8 PM, the NC State Theater at Flat Rock Playhouse presents Old Glory, a critically acclaimed musical.
