Are you ready Eastern North Carolina and especially TYRRELL COUNTY for the biggest RIVER WEEK CHRISTMAS ever??? Be on the look out the next few days for exciting events that you can sign up for - Exciting ways to support our community and Exciting ways YOU can be part of making this Christmas that will be remembered for years to come.

Our committee is made up of many Tyrrell County locals and as we were planning this event we all had special memories of Christmases in the past where things that may have seemed small to those planning them in the 80's and 90's made a lasting impact on us.

First up... the special sign up for today is the Luminary Sale - for just $5 you can have someone honored or remembered by purchasing a luminary. These Luminaries will be on display (weather permitting) outside of the courthouse and near the town Christmas tree on the night of Friday December 4th. There will be a special ceremony where all of the names will be read and a flyer with all names printed.

As you can see on the flyer - all of the money raised from this event stays right here in columbia as we continue adding to our Christmas decor. Tyrrell County has long been known as the "Heart's Delight" a county full of hospitality - how cool would it be for our tiny town to be also known as one of the most charming Christmas river towns in North Carolina too!!

Good morning from beautiful Tyrrell County!

As the sun rises over the fields of eastern North Carolina, farmers are gathering parts, sorting trucks, fueling up equipment and waiting for the moisture levels to be just right to continue soybean harvest 2026!

Soybeans are one of the major crops grown right here in Tyrrell County, and agriculture continues to be one of the driving forces behind our local economy.

Here's a little agricultural fact you might not know! According to USDA data, Tyrrell County harvested approximately 31,900 acres of soybeans in 2024! That's a whole lot of soybeans growing right here in our little corner of North Carolina!

But farming is about so much more than what happens in the field.

It's about the families who have worked this land for generations. It's about the equipment dealers, mechanics, truck drivers, fuel suppliers, seed companies, local businesses, and countless others whose livelihoods are connected to agriculture.

When our farmers succeed, our entire community benefits.

Here at the Tyrrell County Chamber of Commerce, we recognize that agriculture isn't just part of our landscape. It's part of our heritage, our economy, and our future.

So as you see those combines rolling through the fields this harvest season, or you get behind a tractor on hwy 94 or 64..or one of the many backroads...take a moment to appreciate the hard work, long hours, and dedication behind every acre.

Agriculture grows more than crops. It grows communities.

And we're mighty proud of the hardworking people who keep Tyrrell County growing!

Here's a question for our community: How many of you have a family member, friend, or neighbor whose livelihood is connected to agriculture? We bet it's more than you realize!

🌟🎨 FEATURE FRIDAY: Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft! 🌿

This Feature Friday, we’re celebrating one of the true creative treasures of Columbia — Pocosin Arts School of Fine Craft! 💙

Nestled along the beautiful Scuppernong River in downtown Columbia, Pocosin Arts is inspiring creativity and bringing people together through the power of art and hands-on learning.

With a mission of enriching lives through craft education and artistic experiences, Pocosin Arts offers year-round workshops, weekly adult and youth classes, and artist residencies. From ceramics and metalsmithing to woodworking, textiles, painting, drawing, and digital fabrication, there are opportunities for makers of all experience levels to learn something new and explore their creativity.

But Pocosin Arts is about more than creating beautiful things. It’s about building connections, sharing knowledge, supporting artists, and making the arts accessible throughout our community. Its impact reaches beyond Columbia, welcoming artists and students from near and far while keeping its roots firmly planted right here in Tyrrell County.

We’re proud to have such a special arts organization in our community and grateful for the creativity, education, and cultural experiences it brings to Eastern North Carolina!
