The Carl Cutler Run is returning for the 10th Annual Honey Festival!

Posted on by 514 Experiences

In 2017, The NC Honey Festival was launched in Whiteville, NC as a Fathers’ Day gift to beekeeper and prostate cancer survivor Carl Cutler. For the inaugural year, The Carl Cutler Run took place during the morning before the vendor showcase festival and offered the community a free 5K walk/Run to show support for Prostate Cancer Awareness. This year, the festival will celebrate its 10 year and the Carl Cutler Run is returning as a part of this milestone.

The 10th Annual NC Honey Festival is set to take place on Saturday, September 12th, 2026 in Downtown Whiteville. Details for the Carl Cutler Run will be released to the public on May 14th, 2026.

We are excited to bring this meaningful experience back to Columbus County. Please visit NCHoneyFestival.com and follow the festival on social media for updates. If you would like to collaborate with the planning team, please send an email to CarlCutlerRun@gmail.com.

Plans Are Underway To Celebrate The Beaver in Columbus County!

Posted on by 514 Experiences

After Groundhog Day 2026, a suggestion was made online for Columbus County to have its own animal that sees its shadow ahead of the Spring season. A group of community leaders are working, a year in advance, to make that a reality with The Beaver.

This initiative follows over a year of planning for a wildlife-themed community event this fall, with the beaver serving as the central theme. Columbus County residents likely recall this hard-working creature being mentioned in countless conversations about swamplands and stormwater flooding. In large part, this project aims to extend the conversation about the link between our natural wetlands and flooding, while celebrating the region’s amazing wildlife and swamp ecosystem.

Further details about this effort will be released to the public on March 21st, 2026. To join the mailing list or discuss ways you can become involved, please send an email to ColcoBeavers@gmail.com.
