Openings
The newly-renovated Family Dollar in Graham is now open.
Located at 116 E. Harden St., the Family Dollar store was renovated to include $1 Dollar Tree merchandise as part of the company’s hybrid model. This is the second Family Dollar location in Alamance County to go through these renovations and mergers.
“Family Dollar is proud to be a part of the Graham community and we are excited to welcome existing and new customers to our newly renovated store,” Family Dollar spokesperson Jim Van Slyke said. “The refreshed store will provide even greater values and convenience to our shoppers.”
The location now has additional freezers and coolers as well as an expanded selection of food, beauty essentials, household products and seasonal items.
The store is open seven days a week.
Events
DAV and RecruitMilitary will host a virtual career fair for veterans and military spouses in North Carolina on Thursday.
The free hiring event will be held online between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Thursday. The event is open to all U.S. military veterans and spouses.
“Our driving purpose is to empower veterans to find meaningful work opportunities in the private sector,” Tim Best, CEO of RecruitMilitary, said. “We work with companies throughout the world that see tremendous value in the transferable skills that military trained personnel bring to their organizations. We are pleased to provide these companies with a vast network of highly qualified veteran job candidates looking for meaningful civilian career opportunities.”

The Workshop in Graham has opened registration for two summer camps for kids ages 3 to 10.
“Our Kid Creatives Camps are designed to allow kids an opportunity to explore creativity and learn new skills and techniques, but also guide them toward creating something which has value beyond the process and the experience,” The Workshop said in an Instagram post last week.
The Little Kid Creatives Camp is open to artists ages 3 through 5 and includes art and sensory play experiences. The Big Kid Creatives Camp is designed for kids ages 6 through 10 who want to explore new techniques, skills, materials or equipment in their creative works. The Big Kid camp also encourages students to think like creative entrepreneurs.
Spots are limited. To register, visit theworkshopnc.com/kid-camps.
