The Old Corner Ice Cream Parlor reconstruction is finally completed and it will reopen this coming Saturday as the Corner of Wake Forest.
The Corner now will be an event center for weddings, anniversaries, seminars and pop up events. The grand opening promises to be a very special event for folks who have been waiting 12 years for something big and Victorian to finally happen on the Corner of North Main Street and North Avenue.
The friends of the Corner will sponsor the Billy Farmer Art Gallery and Christmas Music Celebration this Saturday from 12 to 5 p.m., and everyone is invited. Local artist Billy Farmer will have sixty original artworks for sale and they will be on display in the Corner art gallery.
There will be two Christmas music programs beginning with the Dulcimer Darlings and Guitar Bob. Their unique song list will awaken the long-quieted brick walls of the Corner. The second act is Lee Holt and sons Jacob and Charlton along with Uriah from the band 401 South.
Refreshments and snacks will be offered, but the friend of the Corner caterer is not divulging much about the menu! Owners Marty, Debbie and Ben Ludas are ecstatic about the spotlights illuminating Billy’s amazing pieces in the art gallery along with anticipation of the truly-formidable entertainment that will be performing.
Ladies, this is your first chance to dress to impress and celebrate Victorian formality at the Corner in the Wake Forest Historic District. Marty promised this Victorian venue to so many people and the time is soon and it’s this Saturday. Then when it’s all over, maybe stroll downtown for a night cap at one of Wake Forest night spots. It’s possible you could hear, “Ma’am where did you just come from?”
