Parker On Saturday, April 21, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the grounds of the Beaufort Historic Site will become an old-fashioned marketplace. It’s Publick Day in Beau fort, which kicks off the summer season for the Beaufort Historical Association. As in years past, the grounds of the historic site, 100 Block Turner Street, will recreate publick times, when colonial merchants set up shop outside during court sessions. Vendors will be selling antiques, collectibles, arts and crafts, wood crafts, furniture, hand-made jewelry, baskets, pottery and much more. Fashioned after Williamsburg of the 1700s when the General Court was in session, Publick Day gave visitors from far and wide an opportunity to come to town to see and be seen, conduct court business, shop, gossip, dine and dance. Just as it was years ago, today’s visitors will also be treated to shopping and food. While on the Historic Site, be sure to go in the Mattie King Davis Art Gal lery, Carteret County’s oldest art gallery, to see the beautiful artwork by Beaufort Wine & Food featured artist Kevin LePrince. LePrince’s impressionistic art can be found in collections all over the world and was recently featured in magazines such as “Art Lover’s Guide to Collecting Fine Art in Charleston & Vicinity” Art Lover’s Guide to Collecting Fine Art in Charleston & Vicinity and Charleston Style and Design. His work will be featured in the Mattie King Gallery through April and May and will include the painting “Cooking Crew,” which will be the 8 -An nual Beaufort Wine & Food Weekend limited edition poster. This original paint ing will be available as an auction item at the Beaufort Wine and Food Celebrity Gala on April 27. Images from this painting will be used for all the advertising and brochures for the weekend. The Mattie King Davis Art Gal lery will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Vendor space is still available for Publick Day. Applications are being accepted to rent a 10’ X 10’ space for $25 if you are a BHA member and $40 for non members. Space is a first come, first served, rain or shine and non-refundable. Vendors must supply their own tables and tent if needed. All proceeds from Publick Day go towards the ongoing restora tion efforts and educational programs of the Beaufort Historical Association.
