SOUTHERN VILLAGE UPCOMING EVENTS
Friday, September 3 · 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Hindugrass to open for Friday, September 3rd outdoor movie
Hindugrass bringing their unique musical blend to
Southern Village
Friday, September 3rd, 6:30 pm (Before the movie)
We were all disappointed when the previously scheduled Hindugrass performance had to be cancelled due to rain. We’re fortunate now to have another chance to hear them in concert.
Hindugrass was formed in 1998 to create a blend of classical and folk music from northern India with traditional folk and bluegrass music from the southeastern U.S. The group will delight your ears as they combine the melodic and rhythmic structures of the ragas of Hindustan with songs from the Appalachian tradition.
Band members have been influenced by a wide variety of world music genres, and between them, play dozens of different and often exotic instruments, ranging from keyboards, bass, violin and bassoon to jaw harp, tabla, sarod, and many, many others.
You’ll enjoy the mix of the familiar, with sounds from a diversity of global musical sources, as the group plays music composed by its own members.
The concert is being presented outdoors on the Village Green in Southern Village, Chapel Hill, in advance of this evening’s movie on the lawn. It’s an open seating event; bring your own lawn chairs or blankets, and food and beverages of your choice.
NO COVER CHARGE FOR THE CONCERT, but $4.00 charge if you decide to stay to see the evening’s feature movie, ‘Inception’.
Sunday, September 5 · 5:30 pm - 9 pm
Southern Village Labor Day Weekend Variety Show & School Supply Drive
Join us for this holiday weekend’s variety show that will celebrate the start of the new school year! The show’s two acts feature two very popular local music teachers; the Scroggs Elementary music teacher, Sheila Fleming in her group Trilogy, and the Culbreth Middle School music teacher, Mr. Jones, headlining the Michael D. Jones Jazz Trio. The music will begin at 7:00pm.
This will be a fun evening for the whole family, so we’re encouraging everybody to come early (around 5:30 pm) to bring a picnic and socialize, and play games on the Green before the concert. We’ll provide balls, hula hoops and our ‘corn hole’ bean bag toss game.
The Tumble Gym is organizing a school supply drive to benefit needy local children, so please bring along any extra school supplies that you wish to donate.

Preventing Obesity by Design (POD) Community Meeting
We’re excited to announce that the Chapel Hill Day Care Center in Southern Village has been selected as the Orange County 2010 site for the ‘Preventing Obesity by Design’ (POD) project! The school is now in the process of converting their playground to an outdoor learning environment that will promote increased physical activity for children and thus forestall the risk of childhood obesity.
Childhood obesity is on the rise and now affects over 30% of 2-4 year olds in our state. The POD project, led by the Natural Learning Initiative, converts typical mulch-covered playgrounds into green landscapes which introduce children to the natural world and provide opportunities for active play and exploration.
POD is sponsored by the Natural Learning Initiative at N.C. State, Orange County Partnership for Young Children, and Child Care Services Association. To educate the public about this unique program and engage the community in volunteering to help with the POD initiative, the group is holding an informational meeting at Christ Church on Wednesday, September 15th from 6:00pm-8:00pm.
