A casual comfort brand sprung from the old fishing hole on a late night with some good wine, the story behind one of the nation’s most breathtaking views right here in the Tar Heel State, and a second chance at life through forgiveness — all of these stories can be found in one place next Thursday night, at Storyteller’s Night at Jesse Brown’s Outdoors in Sharon Corners, SouthPark.
In a fast-paced, digital world, there’s still a time and place to slow down and listen to some good, old-fashioned storytelling. Storyteller’s Night at Jesse Brown’s offers all of this with three guests and their stories that inspire them to create, document, and forgive, when doing less would be the easier choice. At Storyteller’s Night, you’ll hear from:
- Ben Webb, whose brand “Fish Hippie” offers comfortable, casual clothes that are still luxurious enough to wear to your favorite winery – which, by the way, might be his, too. Find out how “a late night, great food, and a bottle of wine” keeps the good times flowing for Ben and his family with this fast-growing line of clothes and outdoor gear.
- Bruce Bowers, and the story behind The Long and Winding Road that became one of the most-visited National Parks in the U.S. It almost didn’t happen – or at least, it almost didn’t happen in North Carolina. Find out what back-room bartering in the halls of Congress gave western N.C. its greatest jewel, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and what other ubiquitous national program ties in.
- Dean Otto, and the fateful bike ride that changed his life forever. Almost completely paralyzed, Dean set out to prove doctors wrong. The fuel for his incredible comeback? Forgiveness, an unexpected but deep friendship with the man who nearly killed him, and a challenge to his new friend and the doctor who put him back together.
All three guests and their thought-provoking stories can be found at Jesse Brown’s Outdoors in Sharon Corners on Thursday, January 31, from 6 – 8 p.m.
