DAVIDSON, N.C. – Join us for Town Day from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 5 on the town green. We encourage all citizens to walk or ride a bike to the green (May is National Bike Month). We’ll have police officers stationed at key intersections to ensure safety. Ride your bike and park it in the “Bike Corral” near the Town of Davidson’s booth.
Town Day was originally started as a day of service followed by a town picture. This year we are incorporating the service component and the town picture into our festivities. Citizens will have the opportunity to bring items for a food drive and/or help the Davidson Housing Coalition (DHC) with a hands-on volunteer project. To sign-up for the DHC service project, visit https://www.volunteersignup.org/9L3T9 . Please consider bringing a donation of non-perishable food or canned goods when you come to Town Day. Collection baskets will be located at the Town of Davidson’s booth, and food will be delivered to families in need following the event.
The town picture will take place at 10:00 a.m. Please meet on the patio in front of the library. We will also offer a series of ‘Minute to Win It’ games located by our town booth, so bring your friends and neighbors to compete for a prize.
Once at the green you’ll enjoy:
- a cake walk,
- yard games,
- a native plant sale,
