“Our barbecue team led by Sergeant Matt Miller prides themselves on having the best ‘barbecue formula,’ I’m sure they will be fighting hard to keep the trophy they won last year,” James said. Mark Tiernan, the chamber’s CEO and festival chair, said the event has two well-known barbecue restaurants as its food vendors — Armadillo Willy’s BBQ and the Smoking Pig BBQ Company. “We also have some local barbecue restaurants,” Tiernan said. “So we are excited about the fact that we have more barbecue for people to taste and eat.

TRIPLETT, N.C. — The way Eustace Conway sees it, there’s the natural world, as exemplified by his Turtle Island Preserve in the Blue Ridge Mountains. And then there’s the “plastic, imitation” world that most other humans inhabit. But the border between the two has always been porous — uncomfortably so these days. When Conway — known today as a star of the History Channel reality show “Mountain Men” — bought his first 107 acres in 1987, his vision for Turtle Island was as “a tiny bowl in the earth, intact and natural, surrounded by pavement and highways.” People peering inside from nearby ridges would see “a pristine and green example of what the whole world once looked like.”.

Another odd choice is putting Melis in almost complete darkness as he expresses his melancholy in “Lonely Room.” Yes, that may make the audience recognize that it’s a dark song, but it’s readily apparent from the lyrics and the agony on Melis’ face (during the occasions when his face is actually visible). Another minus: With his deep voice, Melis is sometimes difficult to hear clearly. This scene is immediately followed by what is commonly known as the “dream ballet,” which is intended to show Laurey’s romantic conflictions. Most of it is also done in semi-darkness, compounded by the crime that — probably for the first time in history — it no longer is very ‘dreamy,’ nor is it anything like the 15-minute ballet Agnes de Mille created for the original production on Broadway (which was superb in every way).
