The Hecks Grove Community Center was awarded a $10,000 contribution through Blue Cross Blue Shield NC’s Agent Community Impact Grant on Wednesday, July 31.

Tilda Hendricks, president of the Hecks Grove Community Center and owner of Hendricks Insurance, shared that the grant will be allocated to Phase III of the center’s ongoing restoration project, which includes repair and renovation for the southern end of the school and the kitchen.

For the last five years, the committee has worked diligently to bring the building back to life in order to make it a holistic community center for all ages to come and benefit from it. Their goal is to utilize the building as a community center along with it being a meeting place for seniors during the day to receive meals, and also a after-school program for students that need help with reading and math.

Former Hecks Grove students and local community members are being asked to support the project by contributing to the matching funds campaign.

If you are interested in donating, your contribution can be mailed to:
PO Box 463
Warrenton, NC 27589

The weather and scenery could not be more perfect for the first event at the Heritage Cultural Farm in Warrenton.

Hosted by Herman and Veronica Alston, Jazz on the Farm attendees were able to kick back and relax as they immensely enjoyed live music by Just Friends, a band based out of Vance County, NC; DJ sets by “The Bluesmaster” Willie C, and radio personality Sherman Johnson as emcee.

Hudson Chill n Grill and Kim’s Vineyard were onsite as vendors, and the Alston family also sold BBQ and grilled chicken plates.

If Jazz on the Farm has set the tone for what’s to come, we are more than elated to see what’s next.

Learn more about Herman and Veronica Alston and their plans for the Heritage Cultural Farm by watching the video below:

A ceremonious cheer and applause could be heard over a block away when Paulette Burton flipped the open sign on the door of her anticipated store, Sweetie’s Beauty Supply and Smiles located in downtown Warrenton.

A long-desired retail store in the area, she is eager to satisfy the beauty needs of enthusiasts who no longer wish to travel to neighboring counties for quality hair care products.

Currently lining her shelves are the traditional items you would find in a beauty supply store: wigs, weaves, hair conditioners, hair dye, brushes, and in her display case, beard kits for the fellas who wish to keep their facial hair soft and maintained.

Burton calls Sweetie’s a “community store,” and she emphasizes her point by including two boards in her store that allows customers to write suggestions, product recommendations and to provide feedback.

Before opening her doors in Warrenton, the Washington DC native’s entrepreneurial pursuit had already garnered a reputation.

A buzz, you can say around what else she would be selling in her store.

Originally located in Norlina before becoming mobile, her store concept left some local residents… “concerned.”

Upon walking in, one would immediately notice a bold red curtain with black drapes in the back of the store. A forbidden area to anyone under the age of 21, behind the curtain is where the “Smiles” in her business name comes into play.

Geared towards a “mature” market, customers looking to kick their behind closed doors action up a notch can find massage oils, romance kits, s*x toys, and more on the shelves in the enclosed area.

Long before her grand opening on a Sunday afternoon that also included a celebratory champagne toast, Burton was visited by local officials. She stated that they informed her as long as those select products were kept hidden from younger eyes, she would be in compliance with local regulations.

So, with that being said, if you find yourself searching for a wig to switch up your look or want to spice up an evening at home (or both), be sure to stop by one of the most unique shops in Warren County history, Sweetie’s Beauty Supply and Smiles.

Sweetie’s Beauty Supply and Smiles is located on 220 S Main Street in Warrenton, NC. Store hours are Tuesday – Sunday, from 3:30-7:30pm. The store website is https://SmilesandSweetiesBeautySupply.com and for updates on new products and more, follow the store on Facebook and Instagram.
