Shag away the workday stress at the “Beach on the Square” concert in downtown Clayton on Thursday, May 18 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
The free beach music concert is sponsored by the Town of Clayton and the Clayton Downtown Development Association (CDDA) and is the first event on the recently developed Town Square. Beach balls, lawn chairs, and beach blankets are expected to fill the lawn at the Town Square which sits between West Main Street and S. O’Neil and Fayetteville streets.
“The Craig Woolard Band” is the main event, featuring the longtime lead singer of “The Embers.” The 2005 Carolina Beach Music Awards named “The CWB” as “Group of the Year” and their latest CD is high on the beach music radio charts.
According to CDDA President Joyce Blackley the concert is to celebrate the new Town Square and to connect the town’s new residents to downtown Clayton, “There are many new residents in town that may not have had the opportunity to visit downtown Clayton so this is our invitation to them to check out their downtown.”
Bobbie Joe Turner, chair of the CDDA’s Promotion Committee said, “We are so pleased to have the Craig Woolard Band join us for this event. They will provide some great entertainment for a great family event right after work.” Ms. Turner said that in addition to some quality beach music, local artist Kelly Sari will keep children entertained in the “Artists’ Corner” with stone rubbings and watercolors. There will also be roaming face-painters and a concession stand with refreshments and food. The Clayton Downtown Development Association will operate an information booth for event and downtown information.
