Die-hard Wentworth fans got up close and personal with stars of the Foxtel drama on the weekend, in a show that remains special to cast and audience alike.
As a side note, I served on a committee in 2015 that received public input and decided what to put in the capsule, a stainless steel box specially made to fit in the spot under the monument s base. The capsule was maybe the size of a shoebox, so it s not like you could put a six-pack of Highland Ale and an Asheville Tourists bat in there.
Plus, I drank the six-pack and lost the bat. I kid.
The 2115 Asheville Buncombe Time Capsule replaced one work crews found in 2015 while repairing the monument.
That original capsule, placed by the North Carolina Grand Lodge of Masons, dated to 1897 and contained a Bible, coins, a rare copy of an African American newspaper, The Colored Enterprise; a copper box, other local newspapers (including the Asheville Daily), an honor roll from local schools, Masonic documents and a muster roll from Governor Vance s Civil War company. The capsule had been compromised after a century-plus under the monument, and some of the items had water damage.
