Want to unwind with a glass of wine in a space inspired by Holly Springs’ rapidly growing and strong sense of community? 🍷Founder Joe Sherrier created the concept of Wine 100 for just that with shop manager and operator Bob Kaufmann.

“My wife and I wanted to establish roots in Holly Springs—not just to settle down, but to become a part of the community.” Sherrier says. “We enjoyed the idea of not only visiting a wine shop but also having a glass of wine while meeting our neighbors.”

Many honored military veterans over the Triangle this past weekend leading up to Veterans Day like the Field of Flags in Cary’s Veterans Freedom Park. Flags were placed in honor of those who have served in the armed forces for Veterans Day 2024. The tribute was provided by Veterans Bridge Home made possible by their volunteers from Parexel and Boy Scout Troop 200. Veterans Bridge Home is an organization that works to connect veterans and their families in any state of transition to the community. For more information visit veteransbridgehome.org 🇺🇸
