LIFESTYLES

Although many in Northern Franklin County were still cleaning up in the wake of Tropical Storm Michael -- and some were still without electrical power -- those challenges didn't put too much of a damper on the second-annual Gold Sand Tractor Show to benefit the local fire department. In the photo above, little Taylor Smith strikes a confident pose aboard a tractor, a pose that perhaps a lot of local farmers felt like striking when Michael's high winds and heavy rains finally stopped, allowing them back in the fields. Taylor is six and looked like she was having fun checking out the vintage tractors and other farm equipment.

Saturday, Oct. 20, 7:30 p.m., Grammy Award winner Theo Peoples will bring the unforgettable sounds of Motown to Louisburg College JPAC.
In "A Temptations Revue," this show spans more than a decade of Temptations classics, with every one of these tunes among the most recognizable and culture-defining songs in pop music history: "My Girl," "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," "Get Ready," "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," "Just My Imagination," "I Wish It Would Rain" and so many more.
