Subject: Save the Date for ClydeFest: Saturday, April 5th!
If you are a kid, you have a kid, or you just feel like a kid at heart, get out your calendar now and mark April 5 with a big, bright star. ClydeFEST!
ClydeFEST is a Chatham County treasure of an event honoring Chatham’s own folk artist Clyde Jones <http://carrboro.com/clyde/> and his love for creativity and the young’uns of this community. And the festival is almost as unique as Clyde is.
Join us for a day of fun at the Chatham County Arts Council’s 13th Annual ClydeFEST family festival on the Bynum Ballfield. We’ll have Clyde’s Critter Cut-outs, local artists, young musical talent, handmade old-time
field games, a Clyde Jones Critter auction, fabulous food, jugglers, clowns, stilters … OH MY!
“The focus of the ‘FEST is to present an authentic Chatham County arts and culture event for children. A whole gaggle of local artists help the community’s budding creative thinkers get hands-on, immersive arts experiences in painting, silk-screening, drumming, acting, dance, and playing music,” says long-time event coordinator Gilda McDaniel.
ClydeFEST takes place only in Chatham County and only on Saturday, April 5 from 11am to 4pm at Bynum Ballfield. (Well, unless there’s a bunch of rain, in which case it’ll be Sunday, April 6 from 1 to 5pm.)
