Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee joins 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell over the phone on Friday, August 15. With Tropical Depression Chantal’s floodwaters causing destruction and chaos in July, the town hasn’t been able to publicly celebrate its All-America City Award — until now. Foushee shares details of the upcoming event and the decision to postpone it until September, as well as details on three other fall festivals announced this week. Plus, the mayor shares a welcome to UNC students returning for the fall semester.

Conversations With the Mayors is an ongoing series on “News on the Hill” where host Andrew Stuckey visits with the local government leaders who help shape our communities in Chapel Hill and the surrounding area. Each Tuesday he visits with Hillsborough Mayor Mark Bell; Wednesdays feature a conversation with Chair of the Orange County Commissioners Jamezetta Bedford; Thursdays feature Chapel Hill Mayor Jess Anderson, and Fridays include a conversation with Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee. You can listen to previous “Conversations With the Mayors” here.
