Craftsy, too. Among the big events, some of which are sprinkled with music and food as well, is The ArtsCenter’s third annual ELF Fair on Saturday. Handmade soaps, knit goods, jewelry, pillows, silk-screened clothing, ceramic vessels, holiday cards, imaginative magnets and lots of art are promised, according to orga- nizer Amanda Barr (shown above at a recent arts fair at Johnny’s). Last year’s fair was a big hit, with plenty of local art, and this year’s promises to be even bigger, thanks to a wider array of vendors and the addition of Roulette Vintage in helping put together the event. The event should be going on just after the Christmas Parade wanders through downtown Car- rboro. It runs from 1 to 5 p.m. Music will be provided by Gmish, a “soul music klezmorim,” featuring Citizen regular Phil Blank on accordion. Also, maybe, some rock-and-roll elves. Also this weekend is the holiday edition of the 2ndFriday Artwalk. Visit 2ndfridayartwalk.com for a listing of galleries and artists and keep in mind that gifting local art is one of the best ways to buy local. Next weekend, Johnny’s is hosting a holiday fair of its own. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, there’ll be crafts and foods on sale as well as local music and a wine tasting. A portion of the proceeds goes to sa 1/16/10 the Carrboro Community Garden.

Kay Hagan’s office announced this week that Piedmont Biofuels Industrial in Pittsboro will receive a $139,249 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act grant for innovative clean-energy research and development. Hagan said she was impressed during a recent tour of the facility. The grant, she said, is an example of the growing interest in investments in North Carolina’s sustainable-energy industry. “Our research staff at Piedmont Biofuels is delighted to partner with the Department of Energy and continue our work in the next generation of biofuels production,” said Rachel Burton, director of research at Piedmont Biofuels. Burton said Piedmont Biofuels will use the funds to develop advanced biodiesel production processes. These processes will enable biodiesel producers to reduce water usage and waste byproduct and use lower-grade feedstocks, such as poultry renderings. The company currently has 19 employees and hopes to hire additional research staff. The company’s commercial production facility in Pittsboro produces approximately Photo by Gordon Strauss 4,000 gallons of biodiesel a day using waste poultry fat or The Recyclery, which offers repair and maintenance classes for cyclists used cooking oil. and rehabilitates older wheels to keep them on the road, is looking for a Markets recruiting new home now that its spot on Padgette Lane near the old Performance Farmers of Orange, which operates the South Estes Bike shop is slated for demolition soon.
