Main Street Neighborhood Tour

Main Street United Methodist Church (UMC) organized a Main Street Neighborhood Tour. The tour is was meant to highlight historic homes, landmarks and interesting places around Kernersville. The Main Street Neighborhood Tour was sold out.
In January 2017, Circle #2 of Main Street United Methodist Church UMC wanted innovative ways to raise money for local organizations. One of the ideas presented was to do house tours. The tour would allow for new residents and situated locals to get to know the community and know their Main Street neighbors. It also provides an opportunity to connect with Main Street UMC.

Hometown Christmas

Kernersville’s Hometown Christmas features the Spirit of Christmas Trees. They are trees that civic organizations, individuals, and businesses adopt or buy to decorate. The trees can be decorated in honor or in memory of someone or something special. They can also be decorated with a theme.
The Kernersville Museum has had Christmas trees at their location before, but it is their fourth year doing the Spirit of Christmas Trees.
“Four years ago, we just came up with this idea, and it began slower, and we had fewer trees. We expanded every year. This year it is the most expansive because we have trees in other parts of town,” said Rick Pierce, president of the Kernersville Museum Foundation.

Donahoe, 35, was the second Proud Boy to plead guilty to conspiring with other group members to obstruct the Jan. 6, 2021 joint session of Congress for certifying President Joe Biden’s electoral victory. A New York man, Matthew Greene, was the first Proud Boys member to plead guilty to conspiracy.
