Food, Fun, and Voting: ‘Catering to the Community’ Serves Delicious Eats (with a Side of Civic Engagement) to Warrenton
The event was a place for great food and information to prepare for the upcoming election.
The Front Porch Grocery Co-op, in partnership with Turner Brothers Media LLC and Pink with a Passion, hosted “Catering to the Community,” a street food festival and voter registration drive on Saturday, September 7th in the parking lot of the forthcoming Mag’s Marketplace in Warrenton, NC.
Attendees gathered at the festival to enjoy a variety of vendors selling everything from made-to-order fry bread, Indian tacos, and fried fish dinners to assorted desserts and also candles. Children kept busy with cornhole, a bouncy house (Sisterly Dreams Co.), and face painting.
In addition to the delicious food, attendees were also provided with voter information from various political parties, encouraged to register to vote, and offered voter identification cards if they did not have a proper ID, courtesy of the Warren County Board of Elections who were on-site.
It’s important to note that voters will be required to show valid identification to vote in this year’s election.

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! The parade took over US 1 in Norlina on Friday, Sept. 13, and circled around Hyco Street, and along with our esteemed and talented students, the celebration featured numerous Warren County department heads and elected officials.

Several members of law enforcement, the fire department, and Warren County departments came out early Saturday morning (Sept. 14) to both entertainment and inform local residents. Attendees had the opportunity to sign up for upcoming Parks and Recreation activities, sit in the driver’s seat of a fire truck, fitted and gifted a bike helmet, register to win a bicycle, and sing and dance along to music curated by local radio personality and DJ Willie C.
