For the week of Jan. 9 on UNC-TV’s North Carolina Weekend, enjoy a tour around Star. Roar along with the big cats – and other interesting animals – at the Conservators’ Center outside of Burlington. Discover the uniqueness of the Gourd Museum in Angier. Tempt your taste buds at the Weeping Radish Restaurant and Pub in Grandy. And the “House Special” samples the fare at Bay Leaf Restaurant in New Bern. (Please note: listings are subject to change.) North Carolina Weekend is underwritten by the N.C. Division of Tourism. In addition, UNC-TV has made recent editions of North Carolina Weekend available online.
