Summer Fun: Activities for the Whole Family
“School’s Out For Summer!” in my best Alice Cooper voice. No, but really for some it is, and for others it’s coming soon! The break gives us a chance to catch back up with family and enjoy our beautiful NC weather. Here’s a quick guide to some happenings in the area that all ages will enjoy.
“Alive After Five” Summer Concert Series-Clinton, NC
These FREE concerts will play on the third Thursday of each month, May-October. Bring your lawn chair and your dancing shoes for a great time in downtown. Not a Sampson County native? Check your local Chamber of Commerce for a similar event this summer.
