Albemarle Tradewinds October 2018 Web Final

Perquimans Chamber
Is it too early to say that the holiday season has
begun? It is only the beginning of October. But,
my email is just stuffed with notices about fantastic
celebrations, events and just plain things to do in Perquimans
County. And that’s for the month of October. I
don’t even look into my file of notices for November.
What am I talking about? you ask. Well, Historical
Hertford, Inc, the Main Street organization, just held
their annual wine and craft beer tasting event – a great
time, I have to say. Did you go? Then, the Perquimans
County Restoration Association had their annual
Jollification which includes a tour of historic homes in
Perquimans County. I saw you in Cove Grove, right? I
would have said hi, but it was so crowded.
That was the end of September. Then, in October
(and I’ll just hit the highlights or this will take forever),
the Perquimans Art League has their Art on the Perquimans,
a juried arts and crafts show at the Perquimans
Recreation Center on the first October Saturday.
Cale Camp and Conference Center is hosting a Youth
Retreat that weekend and COA is holding a Manufacturing
Event as well. Then, the next day Holy Trinity
is holding a Blessing of the Animals, with a reception
following so bring your pets for a blessing and to meet
other animal lovers. The Tri-County Shelter will be
bringing some pets as well, so you might make a new
friend or two!
The Carolina Moon theater is presenting their fall
production, The Ratcatcher’s Daughter, a musical
melodrama and farce on the second weekend in
October (tickets still available). The Winfall Fire
by Colleen Brown
Department is giving a Pancake dinner that Thursday
(Oct. 11) and, if you’re still hungry after that, the Hertford
Fire Department is having a fundraising auction
with dinner the next day. It’s called the Sportsman’s
Giveaway and has $5000 grand prize! Then, Sunday
afternoon Hertford Baptist Church has a Fall Festival
with food, recreation, trunk or treat, chili cook off, etc!
So, that’s up to the 15th and we’re really running out
of space, so here’s just a taste of the end of the month:
The Hertford Rotary Concert (do you go every year? I
make a point of going every year because the band’s
always good and it’s a great cause) on October 20.
Holy Trinity’s Lobster Sale is the 26th, so that’s a great
day to have your parents over for dinner. There’s the
Belvidere Days celebration on the 27th with entertainment
on the stage all day and a parade! (Stop by the
Chamber Booth when you’re there and say Hi! NO, I’m
not going to be at the dunking booth this year! ) Then,
that evening, the Crawfish Shack is hosting a Fear
Fest Haunted Trail guaranteed to be the most thrilling
ever and all profits to benefit Hurricane Florence
victims. The Historic Downtown Hertford Trick or Treat
(for the kids) is the afternoon of the 31st.
The Hertford Dance Company is hosting a Rhythm
Run to benefit the Perquimans County School Bands
and there’s an antique tractor ride, parade and show
called Wheels of Times Past --- wait, wait, no, that
November! More on that later. Or, if you can’t wait,
go to the Perquimans County Chamber of Commerce
Facebook page for all the details. But with all this to
do, and every weekend booked, do you see why I think
that the holiday season has already begun?

This is the Time...by Harry Cannon, with Laura Bush Jenkins
Here we are in a high humidity, high heat season that
is common for fall in our region. Our community is
blessed to be spared from Hurricane Florence and operating
mostly in usual fashion.
However, as our team at Dwelling Management Solutions
continues visiting homes, businesses,schools, rentals,
and churches daily, we still see roof leaks, pipe leaks,
and condensation that create a breeding ground for
mold.
Now is prime time to keep your eyes and nose open
and inspect your property to reduce potential liabilty and
costly rehab.
If you or your organization is considering a DIY projectespecially
removing water-, our team can collaborate on
certain aspects to offer recommendations. Many overlooked
but costly mistakes are avoided with as little as a
$25 walk-through offering objective feedback.
In our commitment to transparency, we let you know if
proposed maintenance is merely a band-aid that isn’t
addressing the issue. We can video-record what is
happening in your crawl space, as well as put you in
protective grear in some cases to show you what is going
on firsthand.
Property management professionals, lenders, and
attorneys who demand accountability routinely rely on
our mold treatment certificates that help ensure building
safety.
Mold is not a gray area. Just as you would routinely
check for termites instead of hoping to get lucky and then
finding an infestation when you go to sell your house,
mold maintenance works similarly Our assessments and
follow up show you what, if anything, must be done so
the issue can be resolved.
When a screenprinter in Black Rock was told by his
insurance company to “trash the building” and relocate
after Hurricane Isabel, I sampled a patented chemical
treatment there that successfully salvaged his property.
Ironically, someone else in the neighborhood was also
able to see a turnaround and stay at his location.
Perhaps you didn’t realize mold damage can be treatable.
I’m showing realtors, appraisers, and building inspectors
steps to steward and maintain properties so the
financial interests and health of occupants are protected.
To learn more and request a walk through, contact my
team and me at 252 339 2489 or info@dwellingmanagementsolutions.com.
