Town opens Wadesboro Park with festivities
The parking lot at the new Wadesboro Park was full as people gathered to celebrate the opening of the Town of Wadesboro's newest facility.
Honored guests were members of the Little family, who donated the land for the park to the town.
Wadesboro Mayor Bill Thacker opened the remarks by saying "Thank you for being with us this afternoon ... it is our pleasure to have you here."
Thacker noted that a "lot of hard work has gone into this and we thank everyone who made a contribution." Thacker then recognized current and former council members and spouses who worked on the project: Lynn Horton, Ed Emory, Bob Blalock, Al Cole, Derek James, F.M. Hightower, Paula Tice, Don McRory, Mrs. Sam McLendon, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Gatewood, James David Lee and Bobby Usrey. Thacker also was instrumental in organizing the project.
Thacker read a letter from N.C. Representative Pryor Gibson who apologized for not being present, but said that he and his family had already made use of the park. "Congratulations on an exciting new facility," Gibson wrote, "I know it will be an asset and source of pride for years to come."
Thacker concluded his remarks by introducing N.C. Senator Bill Purcell, David Deese (representing U.S. Representative Larry Kissell), and Anna Baucom, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners.
Taking the mic, Town Manager John Witherspoon told the onlookers that he could summarize the project in five chapters.
