Remodeling Your Wake County Home?
The average major kitchen remodel costs about $80,000. You probably don't want to pick the contractor by Googling “remodeler near me.”
Tell us what you're planning and your budget. We'll connect you with up to three reputable Raleigh remodelers who may be a good fit.
Free. Local. No endless contractor hunt.
The Humble Heart Bazaar celebrates its 75th anniversary at Hayes Barton United Methodist Church on November 17. Browse the marketplace, shop the bake sale, bid in the silent auction, and pick up holiday greenery for the season. Visitors can also enjoy the Bazaar's signature lunch, with tickets available in advance. Best of all, 100% of net proceeds support local nonprofits serving women and children, making this a wonderful opportunity to shop for a good cause.

November 11 — Dress Up and Dance at the Boo-gie Bash
Halloween may be over, but there's still an excuse to break out your costume for one more celebration.
On Wednesday, November 11, from 6:30 PM to 7:15 PM, Current Wellness is hosting a Boo-gie Bash Dance Party at its Movement Studio in Raleigh.
The special Immerse class brings together instructors Brit, Christina, Maddy, and Ntina for 45 minutes of upbeat music, playful movement, and dancing. The emphasis is on having fun and letting loose rather than mastering complicated choreography.
Costumes are encouraged, whether that means dressing as a favorite character, a spooky creature, or an entirely different version of yourself.
The event is part of Current Wellness's community programming, offering a chance to enjoy a group dance class with a Halloween-inspired twist.
Drop-in admission is $28, or participants can use an existing membership or class pack.
