A Garden Party
Ladies: It's time to dust off your "southern
belle" hats! Gentlemen: Pull out your seersucker
suits. Dress in your best summer chic attire and
join the Boys & Girls Club of Cumberland County
for A Garden Party.
On May 5, A Garden Party, a Fayetteville
Dogwood sanctioned event, takes place from
4-7:30 p.m. at Festival Park. This grand Southern
tradition features dancing, entertainment, good
food and friends.
Proceeds benefit the Boys & Girls Club of
Cumberland County, Inc.
Boys & Girls Club of America started in 1860
in Hartford, Connecticut. The founders believed
boys who roamed the streets needed a positive
alternative. The program grew from that premise
and to date has helped thousands of children.
Local Boys & Girls Club programs include academic
enrichment, daily after school care, grant
programs and more.
Tickets to A Garden Party are $50 per person
and are available online in two locations: You can
visit www.ccbgc.org or go to Eventbrite and search
"The Boys & Girls Clubs of Cumberland County 8th
Annual Garden Party."
Save Our Stage Fundraiser
On May 5, from noon to 6 p.m., join the fun at
the Save Our Stage Fundraiser at Campbellton
Landing. Activities include live music, bounce
houses, local vendors and a petting zoo. This event
is a fundraiser to save the Sol Rose Amphitheater.
The Sol Rose Amphitheater at Campbellton Landing
provides an outdoor venue along the Cape Fear
River for any manner of musical, theatrical and
sporting events.
This stage has been at the center of many
community events over the years. It has had bands,
orchestras, actors and sportsmen across the planks.
Hurricane Matthew submerged the stage, and
the floodwaters pushed and pulled at the timbers
that make up the tiers in the theater. Many of these
timbers need to be replaced. The stage itself needs
some work, and there are still fallen trees and tons
of mud to dispose of. The purpose of this event is
to raise funds to cover the reconditioning of the
amphitheater and stage so scheduled community
events can take place here this season as planned.
