Kids and Cops Glow Run
T-shirt enthusiasts need to register before April 9, to receive a Kids and Cops Glow Run t-shirt. The Chowan County Sheriff’s Office is thrilled to host the upcoming Kids and Cops: Glow Run. This exciting event is focused on giving back to the children in our community and strengthening the bond between local law enforcement and our youth.
The Kids and Cops program, established in 2012, was created to build lasting, positive relationships through mentorship, summer camps, and community events. Over the years, it has become a cornerstone for connecting officers and kids in meaningful ways.
The 5K run will light up the night with a fun glow run experience, according to the sheriff's office.
Each race packet will include glow gear to help you shine as you run. Participants who register by the early sign-up date will also receive a commemorative event t-shirt.
Join the department and the sheriff for a night of fun, fitness, and community spirit to support our youth. To register go to: https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/Edenton/KidsAndCopsGlowRun
Childrens Festival, April 18
On Saturday, April 18, the Chowan/Perquimans Smart Start Partnership (CPSSP) will be hosting the 18 annual week of the young child event.
The yearly Children's Festival brings families, service providers and a massive amount of volunteers together to promote a safe and smart start to a child’s future. A variety of games and active, fun events are scheduled for the kids and a vast selection of information on services and programs to assist children and families facing the joy and challenges of raising youngsters.
In years past, the petting zoo was one of the major attractions of the event.
CPSSP program coordinator Sarah Williams, highlighted services the Smart Start program offers. “Parents who need support improving parenting skills, addressing a specific child behavior, or simply want to ensure that they are doing their best as a parent can enroll in the Triple P program. The partnership schedules both one-on-one and group sessions to help parents address child behaviors or other issues causing them stress or concern.
In the past more than 500 adults and children lined up early and enjoyed the event at Perquimans Recreation Center.
“‘We’re celebrating the lives of young children, providing them with educational experiences, while at the same time because we are a rural community, we are trying to get parents information on what services are available,” Williams said. “Many services are available, but people don’t necessarily know about them or want to ask for help. Working with other agencies and organizations in the community to come together to tackle the big issues facing early child care and education is another way of supporting families.”
This year’s Week of the Young Child Children’s Festival and Safe Kids Day begins at 10:00 a.m. and continues until 1:00 p.m at the Perquimans Recreation Center.

RAISE A GLASS or TWO...
.
It’s time to raise a glass, mug or even a coffee cup in a Dueling Tavern event that could lead to a personal Tavern’s License.
Just as in 1776, local taverns, inns and even coffee shops were gathering places to obtain the local news and have political discussions. Though many things have changed since 1776, some have stayed very much the same.
PLAY A HISTORICAL GAME
These social spaces were hubs for residents to gather, share news and debate politics. In celebration of America’s 250 anniversary, Edenton will celebrate the gathering of ordinary citizens to share drinks and discussions of the state of affairs.
Edenton’s Dueling Taverns takes place March 13 and 14, 2026. Obtain a passport at any of the participating businesses and enjoy the tavern crawl Friday night, March 13 from 5 to 7 p.m..
