Party with Jesse Brown’s and the Trailheads October 3rd
You know we like to party – especially when it’s for a good cause! Here’s your chance to do both on October 3 here at JB’s! Purchase your tickets today to Fall into The Thread, a special event celebrating the Carolina Thread Trail and current and future grassroots Trailheads supporters. The festivities will include live entertainment, local beer and hors d’oeuvres and will culminate with a short talk by nationally acclaimed Queens University Professor Dr. Reed Perkins on the interesting biodiversity found along our local trails and blueways. Dr. Perkins is also a member of the Catawba Lands Conservancy Board of Directors.
The event will be held on Oct. 3 from 6-8:30 p.m. at Jesse Brown’s Outdoors, a Trailheads founding corporate partner (4732 Sharon Rd. #2M, Charlotte, NC 28210 – near the South Park Mall).
Tickets to the event are $25, which includes the cost of a yearly membership for Trailheads, admission to the party and a gift card from Jesse Brown’s Outdoors. For existing members, the ticket cost will cover membership renewal. There are a limited number of tickets for sale, so please pre-purchase yours to guarantee entry. Tickets will be available at the door that evening.
Trailheads is a community group supporting the Carolina Thread Trail via yearly memberships, volunteer opportunities and outdoor activities. Additionally, members stay engaged through monthly updates and social media on the progress of The Thread. Contact Outreach Coordinator Vanessa Gorr at 704.376.2556 (x215) or vanessa@carolinathreadtrail.org for more info on this event!
A Well-Travelled Tilley Hat is Returned
About three weeks ago a lady came into Jesse Brown’s declaring she’d found a hat. A nice one, at that; a Tilley AIRFLO hat.
“I found it at a resort island off the coast of South Carolina,” she told John Bryant, general manager here at Jesse Brown’s. “You all are an authorized dealer. I’m going to let you all handle returning it.” So we did.
Apparently the wrong Tilley hat had been picked up and the lady was left with this one – and it wasn’t hers. This particular Tilley hat, as it turned out, had a phone number and a name on the inside of it. John called the number and asked for the name on the hat: Pat Massion.
Naturally, Pat was thrilled to know his hat had turned up and wanted to know what it was going to cost to get it back to him in Salt Lake City. “No cost,” John said, “we’ll get it to you.” So John boxed the Tilley – along with some Jesse Brown’s stickers for good luck and prosperity, of course – and mailed it off to Pat.
A couple of days later, John got a box from Salt Lake City. Inside was a box of salt water taffy from Pat Massion with the note stating, “A simple act of kindness has a beauty all its own…I sure wish my hat could tell me how it got from Parson Springs, CO to NC. Thanks so very much!!”
Well, we were glad that Jesse Brown’s could help reunite Pat and his lost Tilley hat. If only all our clothing and gear could talk when we’re out for a #shareyouradventure moment! Pretty sweet ending, huh?
