Get Down with the Town!
Community Gathering
Claridon Recreation Park
This will be our 5th Annual Get Down with the Town community gathering. Last year was a great success! It absolutely had an old-school dynamic. Claridonites brought dishes to share, Heritage meats provided all beef hot dogs and quarter pound local beef patties (this made for an attractive and delicious buffet!) , one of our churches, the New Testament Baptist Church, donated King Kone to be there and Claridon Community Helps provided trinkets as prizes for the three carnival games. It's only a 2-hour gathering for the purpose of all of us being there at the same time so we can get to know each as community members. This time, we will have name tags for you to add your name and the road you live on so it will be even easier to meet neighbors. Please join us. Let's promote Claridon to have that 'old-school' sense of community that makes a township like ours that much more enjoyable to live in! Please contact Jonathan Tiber if you are able and willing to offer something as well.
