Communities ready to celebrate Veterans Day

Communities across eastern North Carolina are honoring veterans this week with music, prayer and speeches. Veterans Day celebrations in Greenville, Ayden, Winterville, Snow Hill, Farmville and Falkland are planned today and Wednesday to thank members of the U.S. armed forces for their service to the country. The federal holiday commemorates all military veterans who served in times of war and times of peace. Its origins extend to 1919, when Nov. 11 was proclaimed Armistice Day to honor veterans and celebrate the end of World War I a year earlier. Congress made Armistice Day a federal holiday in 1938, but after World War II and the Korean War, the holiday’s name was modified to honor all veterans. Greenville’s ceremony, organized by the Pitt County Veterans Council, is scheduled for 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Veterans Memorial at the Town Common. This year’s event will feature three speakers: retired Maj. Gen. Rob Tempel, Army Sgt. Ernie Harrison and Maj. Gen. Todd Hunt. The average Vietnam War veteran is in their mid 70s to early 80s, according to Together We Stand, a military veterans directory. This means there are fewer and fewer veterans each Veterans Day, said Scott Barker, president of the Pitt

Tar River Art Gallery at the Mills now open

Marion Clark Weathers immediately recalled the genesis of her becoming an artist. “When I was in the third grade, my report card said: Marion doesn’t pay attention in class. She’s always drawing,” Weathers said Wednesday in an interview. Weathers of Rocky Mount was speaking about the days when she was an elementary school student in Orangeburg, S.C. The graduate of the University of Georgia’s art school has been an artist throughout her life. Her creativity is readily evident locally. Her design of two trains is featured on a mural just off Southwest Main Street downtown. Artist Ashley Fabrizio painted the mural. More of Weathers’s creativity is now displayed at the Tar River Art Gallery at the Mills. The gallery opened Sunday in a building off Falls Road in what was the Larema Beverage Co. before the business closed in November 2025. The building, which dates back to 1835, is part of the Rocky Mount Mills commercial and residential development. “I’ve always believed in having art in Rocky Mount,” Weathers said, adding that the new location “will elevate us to where we need to be.” The gallery is an expansion of the nonprofit Tar River Art Gallery, which has art displayed
