Where’s Waldo in Davidson – FINAL DAY

July 31 @ All Day

It is the final day to find the iconic children’s book character in the red-and-white-striped shirt and black-rimmed specs at twenty-five local businesses throughout our community. Anyone who wishes to participate can pick up a “Where’s Waldo in Davidson!” passport, which contains the names of all the participating sites, and get their passport stamped or signed for each Waldo they spot. Collecting store stamps or signatures at twenty or more businesses will entitle diligent seekers entry into a grand-prize drawing on Monday, Aug 2, 2021, with the grand prize being a set of Where’s Waldo books.

There is no charge to participate, and the hunt lasts for the entire month of July.

Secret Society of Crafters – Hearts on Fiber

Aug 1 @ 10:00 a.m.

208 South Main Street

Crafting is more fun with other people, which is why we created the “Secret” Society of Crafters. The title says “secret,” but we’re a not-so-secret, not-so-exclusive group who meets to stitch, craft, crochet, knit, sit and talk. We may or may not talk about knitting, yarn bombing, hand dying, or the latest stitch. We may even talk about world domination. You won’t know unless you come. Connect with crafters in the area, find the motivation to pick up that project again, and benefit from the wisdom of a passionate crafting group. The “Secret” Society of Crafters meets outside the store every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:00 AM weather permitting. We hope to see you there!

 

Concert on the Green: Smitty and The Jumpstarters

August 1 @ 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Town Green

Some call it Dancing Blues, Blues with a Beat, Jumpin’ Blues, Roots Rock or Rockabilly. This music hides under many different styles and formats of American music. The common thread is it makes you move. It could be shuffling your feet at a concert or full on Swing dancing, this music makes you move. The #1 purpose of this band is to play a style of Blues that encourages this behavior.  So bring your dancing shoes and join the fun. Members of the Band include: Bryan “Smitty” Smith, Steve Blake, Doug Dennis, and Roy Brown.
