Day 3- Holiday Business Spotlight Bookworm Pottery & Co. was founded in 2021 as a community pottery studio with the mission of connecting people through clay. They offer beginner-friendly classes and long-form learning, as well as monthly memberships, kiln rental services, and pottery supplies. From Pottery Wheel Date Nights to 6-Week Series Courses, this inclusive and welcoming space has something for everyone.
This studio also has a monthly community giving initiative called Clay Creates Community. Each month, a local nonprofit or community cause is selected to receive a portion of their ticket sales from themed hand-building classes as a way to give back. By having fun in a sculpting class, you can change the life of one of your neighbors. To stay updated on your contributions, they have an email newsletter that has monthly updates on the initiative.
They would love to be a part of your special memories 💛

For over 80 years, Wilmington, North Carolina, celebrated having the "World's Largest Living Christmas Tree," a 75-foot-tal, 210-foot-wide live oak in Hilton Park, adorned annually with thousands of lights, Spanish moss, tinsel, and a shimmering star. The tradition began in 1928, thanks to city works commissioner Jimmie Wade, and grew into a cherished event featuring choirs, Bible readings, and bands, attracting over 130,000 visitors annually at its peak. The tree gained national attention through postcards, media coverage, and appearances like the December 1972 cover of The State. Despite its grandeur, the 400-plus-year-old oak succumbed to age and weather, shrinking significantly before its last lighting in 2011 and removal in 2015, leaving a legacy fondly remembered by generations.
