We took the whole family to eat on the patio at The Library Steakhouse during their soft open.

Our mouths have been watering waiting to return.

Maybe if we say pleeeeeeease
they’ll work with us at The Citadel Space
to make it possible for our guests
to enjoy their yummy food
in The Citadel Room.

No dinner plans yet? We would love to take care of that for you.

This last weekend we had a Baby Shower and a Sweet 16 in The Citadel Space.

This wasn’t the first time, and I’m sure it won’t be the last, that we celebrated new life and budding adulthood in the same 24 hours.

I have no pictures from the pimped out birthday dance-party, but I do have some pictures of the cute baby shower before guests arrived.

The Fuquay-Varina Downtown Association put on a fun candy hop today that no drizzle could dampen!

The Citadel Space was serving cotton candy for the hop and got a visit from a special bunny.

We are excited about this at
The Citadel Space
As it now means that soooooooon we should be able to order drinks from El Cantarito downstairs.
Margaritas to go with your party?
They be coming soon!

On March 19, the Fuquay-Varina Town Board adopted an ordinance to establish a social district in Downtown Fuquay-Varina. To date, the state of North Carolina has 59 social districts that have proven to be economic drivers through increased business and downtown foot traffic.

Several steps must occur before activating a social district, including registration with the NC Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission, and installing appropriate signage, which will occur over the next several months.

The Town will inform the public once the social district is active. More information will be provided in April on our website and social media.

Shannon Vanae Volpe (me, that be writing this post) went through the Fuquay-Varina Leadership program in 2020.

I had two young kids at home, no job, and hadn’t found a place to plug in to serve and be a part of our community yet.

I am so grateful that the Leadership program was/is there to give me insight in to our town that I would not have gathered any other way.
I’m so grateful for the network I got plugged in too and the projects I get to see progressing because of citizen Leaders in our local neighborhoods.

In many ways, the Fuquay-Varina Leadership program provided the founding philosophies of The Citadel Space.
Yes, we strive to be profitable financially,
And our main goal is to provide a gathering space for our community to build bridges of connection.

A great crowd tonight as Leadership Fuquay-Varina welcomed the Class of 2024! We also celebrated their 10th year of service and community. Thank you to Ann Marie for her dedication and leadership to this amazing program. Thank you to The Citadel Space for hosting our event!
