FestiFall on October 12th, main event is noon -3 : 00 p . m . and then "After Dark" performances around town . This year they've radically rethought FestiFall with more unconventional and experimental theater and non - profit and political tables/ booths aren 't allowed this year in order to focus on the arts . • Spring Council shared that Mama Dips tends to be busier in the summertime than in the fall . Mama Dips customer base has historically been families eating before a game . They are focusing on bringing more young families back as long-time customers have aged and their children have grown and moved away . • Penny Rich shared Steve Brantley and Orange County Economic Development completed two new projects which will bring up to 1, 200 new jobs to the County over the next 10 years . ABB is bringing 400 jobs . Medline advised that only 2 % of their employees will be coming in from other places which means 98 % that are going to be hired will be hired locally . With these new businesses coming to the northern end of the County, Hillsborough and Mebane, we need to consider lodging options in that part of the County.
