| "Trailblazers" walk the perimeter of a park planned for the Town of Wadesboro. The wooded area located off Morven Road was donated to the town by the family of the late Henry Little III. Town Manager John Witherspoon said that the design work is ongoing and that he anticipates an architect's plan to be presented to the Town Council soon. Jim Strayhorn and Don Altieri head a Park Planning Board that includes Shirlene Davis, John Liles, Donna McCormick, Monica Currie, Henry Morton and Cynthia Little.
