Watch an outdoor movie in downtown’s Harmon Park; up next is “Grease” on July 17.

Sip on coffee (roasted in-house) at Kyle’s Coffee and let the kids entertain themselves in the play zone.
Find your community at Little Brother Kernersville with their weekly run club, trivia, music bingo, and yoga.
Enjoy the cozy, laid-back atmosphere at The Brewer’s Kettle. Stop by in the morning to grab a latte from Pot Heads, the coffee bar located inside.
We love control, so it’s surprising that over 60% of Americans leave their assets vulnerable. Estate planning isn’t just for the wealthy or elderly; it ensures:
Your children or pets are cared for if tragedy strikes
Someone you trust makes medical decisions if you can’t
Your assets are preserved and go exactly where you want
Bell, Davis & Pitt P.A. makes sure you don't leave any of this to chance. Get started today with their Estate Planning Guide.*
