In this episode of Topsail Insider, I sit down with Karen Malloy, president of The 1865 Society of Pender County, to talk about the organization’s mission, local history, community programs, scholarships, and the upcoming Juneteenth celebration in Burgaw.

The festivities begin Friday, June 26, with a Spoken Word Program at The Depot featuring North Carolina Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green.

Then on Saturday, June 27, downtown Burgaw will host a full day of family-friendly activities, food trucks, cultural performances, historical exhibits, educational presentations, children’s activities, and a Gospel Concert beginning at 5:00 PM.

All events are free and open to the public.
