Sometimes we find community in the places we least expect ✨
The question has been on everyone's mind lately... who started the What's Happening in Farmville page, NC or VA?! While that is still up for debate, our newfound friendship and love for our towns is not.
Over a month ago, Stephen (founder and beloved board member of Farmville Pride) reached out to Alex Joyner - Mayor of Farmville NC. With Farmville Pride entering a new era centered in community, we wanted to see if we could push the boundaries beyond our little town and across state lines to our long lost sister city to become partners in Pride.
Alex and his fiancé, Andrew, took the time to plan a weekend trip to VA's Farmville to see what it's all about! The Farmville Pride board had a lunch with our special guests at Savour, and then took them around town to check out some of the shops lining our beautiful Main Street. They got to see and read the rich history displayed at the Moton Museum, as well as eat out at some other staple downtown restaurants (Walker's Diner and Fox & Lamb). 🥞🥓🍕
They also joined us Saturday evening at Uptown for our Bingo event, where we got to introduce Farmville, VA Mayor Brian Vincent to Alex and make another connection that unites our homes even further.
While we only got to show them a small bit of what Farmville, VA has to offer - we hope that this partnership can continue to bloom and thrive! As for what's next... maybe a trip to Farmville, NC?! 🌾🚗
Thank you again to Alex and Andrew for traveling a little ways up north so that we could join forces and share a little bit of our cherished town with them. We can't wait to see what the future holds for Farmville²!
