Next up in our Meet the Team series is Michelle!

When asked about her favorite local spots, Michelle highlighted her love for Saxapahaw. What makes it so special to her?

🛍️ From all the charming little shops to prioritizing local art, Saxapahaw’s small, quaint atmosphere makes it a standout.

🎭 Between events at the Ballroom and local favorites like Saxy a GoGo, the area's dedication to supporting the arts is something she truly admires.

Next up in our "Meet the Team" series, we’re excited to introduce Laura!

Laura’s favorite place in Alamance County is her very own neighborhood – the West Burlington Historic District. She loves going on walks with her family, taking in the beautiful late 19th and early 20th-century architecture, strolling past Fountain Place, and admiring the scenic tree-lined streets on W. Davis St.

She especially recommends checking out the First Reformed United Church of Christ building for its stained glass and Romanesque architecture.

Where is your favorite place to go for a neighborhood walk in Alamance County? Let us know below! 👇

Meet Helton!

Helton’s dedication to our community shines through when it comes to our local arboretum.

Here’s what Helton loves about the Burlington Arboretum at Willowbrook Park:

🌱 It’s a space where people can gather, find inspiration for their own gardening, or simply take a walk and reconnect with nature right here in Burlington.

🤝 A self-proclaimed "plant person," Helton brings the community’s voice to the Arboretum Board alongside other residents and horticulture experts.

"I’ve always had a passion for plants. Why bot give it a try?" Helton remember thinking about the position.

Drop your favorite plant 🌿 emoji in the comments to give Helton a shoutout.

Special thanks to Alamance County Visitors Bureau for their support of the Esperanza Festival!
