Pittsboro, NC – If you want a good old time in the country, look no further than the 12th Annual Summer Celebration at Sharpe’s Store in Bear Creek on Saturday August 20.

Sharpe’s Store

Sharpe’s Store is located between Goldston and Pittsboro NC. at the corner of Reno Sharpe Store Rd. and Goldston-Pittsboro Rd.

Their story goes like this:

Reno’s store was, for years, the focal point of the community where you could go buy your groceries, trade goods, cash your payroll check or just hang out and take in the latest news and gossip.

The store was built in the 1880’s and moved to its current location in 1920. Reno’s grandfather, R.C. Sharped owned and operated the store until Reno and his late brother Raymond took it over in the 40’s. Reno continued to operate the store until its official closing in April, 2003.

Since that time, Reno and his family, have opened the store twice a month for the music. – from SharpeStoreMusic.org
