Brian Lunsford
This month, we invite you to meet Brian Lunsford, owner of
Ace Home & Building Center
in Yanceyville. For the last 14 years Brain has been on the Caswell County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Currently he serves as the Vice President of the Board and has been a strong supporter of the Chamber’s growth.
As a staple in the Caswell community, Ace Home and Building Center offers a wide range of hardware, lumber and building materials. The team there also provides small engine repair service. When you walk into Ace your expectations of a small town hardware store will be met. No big box like atmosphere here.
A Caswell County native, Brian attended East Carolina University and has been involved in the family business since 1994. He also volunteers at the Leasburg Fire Department and enjoys fishing at Hyco Lake and golfing at Caswell Pines Golf Club.

Caswell Trails are Calling...
You may have seen the recent
article
in The Caswell Messenger regarding the volunteers that worked to clear some of the trails in our county.
The Caswell Chapter of the Health Collaborative
(CCTHC) is working to bring awareness to our trails in response to
the Caswell County Board of Commissioners resolution approved in November 2019, to support Piedmont Legacy Trails, a project of Piedmont Land Conservancy designed to promote trails in the 12-county region served by the Piedmont Triad Regional Council.
“This is what The Health Collaborative is all about,” said Shannon Moretz, Project Coordinator for CCTHC. “We bring together cross-sector groups of community members and other partners to consider how we might work together to improve the health and well-being of our region."
If you have some free time, please stop by one of the locations.
Orchard Lake Trail - runs from the Senior Center to Yoder's Country Market
Sunline Trail - runs behind the Animal Protection Society and Oakwood Elementary School
Both are multi-use, unpaved trails, designed for walking, jogging, or biking

A special project by
The Caswell Council of the Arts & Caswell Chapter of the Health Collaborative

A Sense of Place:
A Creative Community Dialogue about the places in Caswell County that mean the most to us.
|
|
|
There are so many stories to be told about this place we call home: so many long country roads and wooded paths. Is there a place in Caswell County that has special meaning to you?
We invite you to share your original stories, songs, drawings, photos, paintings, and any other mediums that tell your story about a place in Caswell County that is particularly meaningful to you. Stories and any accompanying images will be considered for an online exhibit presented by the Caswell Chapter of the Health Collaborative and the Caswell Council for the Arts.
