Brightleaf Harvest Day & BBQ Fundraiser
Advertisement
Experience North Carolina farming culture and history at Duke Homestead! We’ll be harvesting our tobacco out of the field and demonstrating the process of tobacco looping. Visitors are welcome to try their hand at these activities, or to chat with an interpreter in the historic buildings.
This event is free to the public. It will be a free-flowing event from 10am-2pm.
The Duke Homestead Education and History Corporation, the volunteer non-profit support group for Duke Homestead, will also be hosting a barbecue lunch fundraiser on August 22. Individual meal tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door, and the meals are available for both take-out or eating in the site’s picnic area. All proceeds of the lunch will be used to supplement Duke Homestead’s special events, site maintenance, and staff development. Tickets can be purchased in person at the site’s gift shop or at the event.
The $12 ticket includes pulled pork BBQ, green beans, potatoes, utensils, salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Bottled water and canned soft drinks will be available for $2 each.
