Small Business Feature

Despite last week being one of storms and rain, the annual Caswell County Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament made it off without out a hitch. Late in the afternoon, the sun peaked out and beautiful blue skies ended the day. The Caswell Pines Golf Club hosted the event last Thursday, May 26. With the venue under new management, the golfers enjoyed being able to use brand new golf carts and take a peak at the newly refurbished grill room.

The highlight of the day was the Youth Pop Up Shop. Ten small businesses run by the youth of our area, showcased their items for sale.
