Town of Davidson issued the following announcement on Apr. 18.
Enjoy the Town of Davidson’s annual Town Day celebration on Saturday, May 7 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the town green. We encourage all residents to walk or ride their bikes to the green, especially since May is National Bike Month. There will be a “bike corral” near the Town of Davidson booth, and the town will have police officers stationed at key intersections to ensure safety.
Town Day was originally started as a day of service followed by a town picture. We will resume these traditions as well as offer a variety of other festivities. Residents and other community members can bring a donation of non-perishable food or canned goods when they come to Town Day and place them in the collection baskets located at the Town of Davidson’s booth. Donations will be delivered to the food pantry at Ada Jenkins.
The town picture will take place at 10:00 a.m. Those who want to participate are asked to meet on the patio in front of the library.
In addition to the food drive and town picture, come enjoy the following, all on the town green:
- Dance, music, magic and acrobatic performances
- face painting
- a gaga pit
- the monkey bridge
- assorted food trucks
- booths featuring Davidson organizations
- see the E.L.F. vehicle (the parks and recreation solar/electric bike)
- learn about Vision Zero, the town’s pedestrian and bicyclist safety campaign
- get information on the programs and summer camps offered by the parks and recreation department
“The focus on community and caring for our community is where the roots of Town Day started,” said Mayor Rusty Knox. “We should all remember that we are not only neighbors and residents, but stewards of this town that is so special to all of us.”
