Join James Monroe’s Highland on Saturday, January 24, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., as we welcome the Piedmont Master Gardeners for a FREE program on starting plants from seed.

Starting flowers and vegetables from seed is inexpensive and satisfying, but a lot can go wrong. In this Garden Basics session, you will improve your success rates by learning basic seed-starting techniques and the special needs of some seeds. Bring seeds (packaged and labeled with species info) for our Seed Swap. You will share seeds with others and take home seeds to try out your new skills.

Paramount on Screen: The Princess Bride (PG)

Sunday, January 25th 2026 - 2:00 pm
at The Paramount Theater
215 E. Main St.

Sunday, January 25th at the Paramount Theater at 2PM

A kid (Fred Savage), home sick from school, grudgingly allows his grandfather (Peter Falk) to read him a dusty storybook—which is how we meet the innocent Buttercup (Robin Wright), about to marry the nefarious Prince Humperdinck (Chris Sarandon) though her heart belongs to Westley (Cary Elwes). The wedding plans are interrupted, however, by a mysterious pirate, a vengeful Spaniard, and a good-natured giant, in a tale full of swashbuckling, romance, and outrageously hilarious spoofery. Directed by Rob Reiner from an endlessly quotable script by William Goldman, The Princess Bride reigns as a fairy-tale classic
