I want to thank each person that has participated, volunteered, or coached in one of our activities or athletic programs. For those who have not had a chance to be part of our programs, come out and enjoy. We are constantly seeking your input and encourage you to contact us regarding any of the programs or activities that you would like to participate in or would like to see offered.
Some of the highlights this year will be Easter egg hunt, End of school blow-out, Movies in the gym, Fall carnival, Dances, Turkey shoot, Christmas parade, Breakfast with Santa, and Mayworth Festival.
Let us know what you think about having a Father-Daughter dance, Mother-Son dance, or a Mother-Daughter Makeover.
Riverside Park is now open. The park now offers a Fishing pier, canoe launch, and trails, parking and new lighting. .
Cramerton was awarded A $500,000 PARTF grant that will be used for the construction of Goat Island.
