The Carrboro Commons reports on the recent Hoop Convergence there. Lindsay Ash writes, "Hoopers traveled to Carrboro from as far as Alaska and Canada to learn from the 20 teachers whose workshops filled the five-day schedule. 'This is the most fun, dynamic group I have ever spent time with, and I’m 50,' Ariana Shelton said. 'The best part of Hoop Convergence is that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from some of the best in the world in five days. I have grown exponentially as a hooper this week while, most importantly, having the time of my life.' The workshop attracted hoopers and experts from across the nation for learning and community. 'I could not have expected a better turn out,' organizer Julia 'Jewels' Hartsell said, 'And Carrboro was absolutely the best place to hold such a community building event.'" Carrboro Commons
