If the youngens are old enough to last until 10:30p, Cary may have a quite unique event for you: The Firing of a public art installation made from clay. The artist Nina Hole and members of the public have built this piece over the last two weeks. And they weren’t stingy – three tons of clay have been used so far.

Festivities start at 7:30 and culminate around 10pm, when the (still pliable) mass will be fired and unveiled.
