PRESS RELEASE:
The Town of Webster invites friends and neighbors to a special celebration for the completion of a new community pavilion for residents to enjoy for years to come.
The event is planned for Sunday, May 5 from 2-4 p.m. at the site of the new pavilion. The new structure is located in between the softball field park and the former Southwestern Child Development Center at 1528 Webster Rd., in Webster, N.C.
There will be two food trucks on site for citizens to purchase food. Dogs on Wheels will have hot dogs for sale and Jack the Dipper will have ice cream for sale. The Town of Webster is providing complimentary cake and cupcakes.
There will be live music provided by J Rex and His High Mountain Pals inside the pavilion. The Town of Webster is also providing lawn games, corn hole boards, bubbles, and the materials to make your own flower crown. There are some bleachers on site for seating.
At 3 p.m., the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce Ambassador Team will hold a grand opening/ribbon cutting ceremony, followed by a few brief remarks from local and state dignitaries.
A May Day maypole dance will occur at 3:15 p.m., led by Diane Shallock. The pole used will be constructed from local poplar by Will Whitfield. Both Shallock and Whitfield are Webster residents. There are historic archives of maypole dances being held in Webster many years ago.
The Town of Webster would like to thank its partners who made this event possible: Jackson County Parks & Recreation, Southwestern Commission, Jackson County Commissioners, Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, Jackson County Board of Education, Duke Energy, and Walmart of Sylva.
