The Rudy Theatre opened in Downtown Selma, North Carolina in 1998. Thankfully it survived the…read morepandemic when it was closed for well over a year. But it has been back open for a few months now and is currently having the Christmas Jubilee shows that combine music and comedy. I've only been to the Christmas shows but I was informed that there are four different shows each year. A Country show; an Easter Show and a Summer show. Besides the shows The Rudy puts on they do have performers come and have there shows at the venue from Elvis music to Bluegrass to Beach music. The theatre has about 500 seats. I've sat in the middle of the floor level before; the front row and this time I decided to try out the balcony. They do the sound and lights up in the balcony so you can see that too. The balcony does requires walking up stairs. I found the seats in all the sections to have good views. Parking is street parking but there was plenty available on the surrounding streets. The lobby has a concessions area and the prices are reasonable. The staff is really friendly and helpful too.

Clayton Center as a venue is an awesome facility. On this night, I didn't particularly like the comedy material and and there many empty seats. I will return to the Clayton Center again as they seem to attract quality talents and so close to nice restaurants!

When I read about an arboretum at the Johnston County Community College, I knew I wanted to stop…read moreand see it. There were no signs up and I was not sure if the public was allowed there. I was the only one there. I've since learned the public is welcome 7 days a week during daylight hours. The Arboretum is on the smaller side with some trees, greenhouses and rows of plants. Their goal is to preserve native species so they are doing good work. I'm sure the arboretum will grow in time and have more and better labels for what is there. There is a lot of shade here from the trees so it was nice on the hot day. I think there are some walking trails there too. While I wouldn't make a special visit to come here, it is a nice place to explore nature if in the area. It is about 5 minutes from the outlet mall.

I don't recommend JCC specially the Cosmetology department!…read more Director of cosmetology Jennifer Wells, is not build for any type of supervisory position. She is unable to handle constructive criticism, walks out of meetings when questioned by students (while students are speaking to her). Very unprofessional. She bends the rules for her favorite students (which happen to be Caucasian by the way). She does not enforce the policies across the board equally for all students. She's quick to micro manage colored students hours to drop you from the program, but if you're Caucasian you're in luck. One particular student barely attended and would always have "medical issues" yet she was allowed to move to every semester with no problems nor repercussions without repeating. The student would always brag "I'm not gonna get dropped" even before staff and Jennifer would have their "meeting" regarding her. Others, get dropped, and have to walk on eggshells. Don't complain to the dean nor president because it will get swept under the rug. This issue of non equality has caused many students to give up, has affected many of our self esteem, has made us feel unintelligent and the list goes on. Instructors are AMAZING. If it weren't for them I would have given up, as well as other students. It's not their fault the department is a scam. They do their job to the best of their ability and honestly they deserve better. It is a revolving door for staff, they're often resigning. Overall I loved every single one of them, regardless they are passionate about their careers. Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Avery, Mrs. Evans made a huge impact in my life and I will forever be grateful for them.

Most recently Java gave birth to adorable chocolate lab puppies. Elsa, an 11-month old white lab from Gwen and Gus' recent litter was also there with her father. Megan and Jeff own the farm and give farm tours after yoga to see the chickens and goats. Yoga is run by Victory Power Yoga. All classes are outside so dress accordingly. They provide yoga mats. I recommend bringing a towel. If you bring a water bottle or purse they have tables set up to place your items. I did not realize it at first and set my things next to the mat. The puppies loved to play with my purse and water bottle. They have an indoor bathroom and shop (Puptique). The yoga class was excellent. Appropriate for all ages and skill levels. The class was run well even with all the distracting puppies running around. Surprisingly I was still able to relax and stretch while playing with the dogs. Ample time was available before and after to play and take pictures. Parking is available on the lawn out front. There was ample spaces and room to pull in and out (plus a turn around area if needed). Overall, we had a lovely morning here. I highly recommend checking them out!

We did not have a wedding coordinator, so we relied on our vendors to help us coordinate the…read morewedding and keep it running smoothly. Jim at Pulse Entertainment was a big part of this coordination. His web site has great features that let us educate Jim about our goals and allowed him to keep our wedding on track. Wedding Time Line This area of his site allowed us to coordinate the wedding and define when certain events happened. (Meal Service, Formal Dances, Announcements, etc) This was very valuable when coordinating with the caterer. It also allowed for quick adjustments to the time line as unexpected things came up. Wedding Traditional 20 This area of his site allowed us to address a lot of the typical wedding things. What songs should he play for formal dances? What did we want him to specifically say during announcements and introductions? Did we want a bouquet or garter toss? It helped him to understand what we wanted and more importantly what we did not. Music Request. This section allows you categorize songs based on preference. You can select Must Play, Would Like Played, and Do Not Play. Jim was very good at playing most of the songs we requested, but there were a couple songs we did not hear that we wish we had. Next to each song you can make a note to Jim and I wish we had identified a few songs as special in the Notes area. In all fairness, we did tell Jim to use his best judgment. We wanted to give him the freedom to do his job and react to the vibe coming from the crowd. The guests loved the music and we got a lot of compliments on the DJ. I am sure all DJ's have fancy websites now, but Jim was very thought when talking about our wedding and met with us twice to discuss the details. If you are interviewing DJ's you know that there are some big egos out there. On multiple occasions Jim said "I want this to be what you want. This is your day and I just want to help make it as nice as possible." He had zero ego, was extremely helpful, and was a great help in keeping the wedding on track and providing us with great music. Lastly, Jim was a good value. More often than not you find 2 types of DJ's. 1.) the big head/ego guy that charges thousands of dollars and insists you call him DJ Ed or DJ Bob and 2.) the kid on craigslist that will DJ your wedding for $200 using his iPod. Jim is neither of these. Good price, reliable, and very professional. I would highly recommend Jim and Pulse Entertainment to anyone looking a good wedding DJ. LT
