If you like yard sales and swap meets, plan now to shop or sell at the Wake Forest Bazaar when it opens for the first time on Saturday, May 10, at Festival Park on South White Street. The hours will be 8 a.m. to noon, and plans are to hold it every second and fourth Saturday through the summer. Beth Jarvah with The Cotton Company laid out the format and rules recently. “Anyone can rent a booth space and sell whatever they want. Crafters, antiques, yard sale – anything. “There will be an onsite staff member on hand to sell walk-in spaces and to rent tables. The basic fee is just an empty plot in the field and you bring your own everything, tables chairs, etc., unless you want to rent them from us. “All sales are to be handled by the individual seller in a yard-sale type of set up.

One of the most popular movies about World War II – and most realistic, in the opinion of the airmen who flew those precision bombing raids over Germany – was “Twelve O’Clock High” starring Gregory Peck. His character was based on Gen. Frank Armstrong, a Nash County native and a Wake Forest College student. The two men, Peck and Armstrong, became good friends as a result of the film. That is just one of the many local aspects of World War II that will be explored this summer when the Wake Forest Historical Museum stages a special exhibit. The exhibit will open in the Wilson Gallery on June 22 and run through the first week of October, closing just before the Wake Forest Birthplace Society holds its annual meeting on Oct. 12. The exhibit will be free and open to all as are all the museum’s exhibits. Museum Director Ed
