Green will be the color of the day on Thursday, Mar. 17 as the Henderson-Vance Downtown Development Commission and the Vance County Arts Council team up to sponsor a St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Breckenridge Street.
The community is invited to join in the fun from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., according to downtown development chair Amanda Ellis. There will be food trucks, music, crafts for the children as well as a scavenger hunt with prizes awarded.
Ellis said there are opportunities for community partners to sponsor the event. Sponsorship levels include “pot of gold” level at $1,000; “shamrock” level $500 and “leprechaun” level for $250.
Vendors and others who wish to set up information tables are asked to register before Monday, Feb. 28. Phone 252.425.0844 or email Ellis at amanda@rogersandrogerslawyers.com.
Alice Sallins, events committee chair of DDC, told John C. Rose earlier today (Thursday) that she hopes the event will be something the whole community will come out and enjoy.
“With enough support, we are hoping to provide free food through the food trucks,” Ellis said. The DDC also is collecting prizes for the scavenger hunt.
