NORTH CAROLINA PEACH FESTIVAL
Join us for the 13th annual North Carolina Peach Festival to be held this year on Saturday, July 18, 2009. There will be all types of booths from crafts to food to clothing items. The parade begins at 10:00 and will follow a route through downtown Candor on Main Street and will feature our Peach Queen Whitney Richardson, peach wagons, vintage cars and trucks, tractors, fire trucks and many more entries. There will be plenty of Montgomery County peaches and peach ice cream to eat. The Sand Band (award winning beach music) and Blue Horizon (bluegrass/gospel) will be playing in the park which is also downtown. For the railway enthusiast, the Aberdeen, Carolina and Western Railway will be hosting train rides and a miniature train will be on hand for the wee ones. There will be lots activities for the whole family. For the really adventurous at heart, Pinnacle 1 Aviation will be providing helicopter rides for a spectacular view of the Festival and the Town.
In conjunction with the Peach Festival, the Candor Volunteer Fire Department will host a Donkey Baseball game on the night before at the Candor Lions Club baseball field, July 17th. Bring your lawn chairs and get ready for a fun filled weekend. For more information, call Candor Town Hall at (910) 974-4221.
