The third annual Dinner Off Main ushered in the Labor Day weekend with food, music, and fellowship — all for a great cause.
Patricia Jones Crosson, a Warren County native and owner of BriCie Events, introduced the idea of Dinner Off Main as a way to thank her supporters for donating to the Virginia Levister scholarship. The scholarship was named in honor of a former guidance counselor at John Graham High who encouraged and financially supported Crosson when she was a student and credits her for the trajectory of her life.
This year’s recipients of the Virginia Levister scholarship were: MacKenzie Stallings (UNC-Wilmington); Clariza Ramirez (UNC-Chapel Hill); and Gabriela Vela-Leos (East Carolina University), all which received $450 to use towards their studies.
Not only did the name of the scholarship hold meaning for Crosson, but also the location: South Bragg Street. Crosson’s father, Frank Jones was a fireman for the Plummer Hook and Ladder Fire Department. As a child, she attended Warrenton Baptist Church and when she returned to Warren County to work, she lived in the house next door to the church.

Thank you, Patricia Jones Crosson for creating a unique dining experience while assisting college-bound students in Warren County!

Hundreds gathered on the Warren County Courthouse Square for the annual WCHS Alumni Meet and Greet.
With the temperature just right, former classmates, most adorned in t-shirts flaunting the year they graduated, got reacquainted on a lucky Friday the 13th (9/13) and enjoyed taking group pictures, sharing memories, and shopping with local vendors and food trucks.
The vibe was all about having a great time and set the tone for the rest of Homecoming weekend.

The Warren County Schools Homecoming parade was the perfect precursor and set the tone for the energetic weekend!
