Christmas Tree Lighting

January/February

The 5th annual Christmas Tree Lighting took place Saturday, December 5, 2015. Santa rode
into town on the fire truck as part of the parade along with the
Southwestern Randolph High School Marching Cougars. Public
and private donations allowed Ruby Mullin and her elves to buy
enough toys so that all 240 children in attendance were able to
choose a gift. City Council Members and volunteers served coffee,
hot chocolate and cookies in the old Bank of Seagrove. Bobby and
Linda Loggins gave out cotton candy. If you havent attended one
of Seagroves Christmas Tree Lighting
celebrations, we hope you will
participate next year. Christmas spirit
abounds downtown during this celebration of giving and sharing.
Every city event requires time, money and volunteers.
Donations can be made all year long at First Bank in Seagrove,
under the account of Union Grove Baptist Church Christmas
Tree Fund. We would love to have your help and support next
year.
A special thank you to the following for making this
event possible:
Festival Sponsor Reverend Chaney and the Union Grove Baptist Church.
Dennette Lilly for organizing the parade.
Tom Hall and Linda Horne for donating the Christmas tree.
City Council members and volunteers for decorating the tree, filling candy bags and

NC Pottery Center Hosts Free

Senior Clay Classes
Since the 1700s clay has been an important part of Seagroves
history. Yet many of our citizens
have never had the pleasure of
working with clay. The North
Carolina Pottery Center has partnered with our community to
give Seagroves Senior Citizens an opportunity to get their hands
dirty. They will hold classes for three consecutive Tuesdays
starting January 26 from 5 to 7pm. Classes are free and will
include slab building and an introduction to wheel turning. Space
is limited to 10 seniors that will hopefully be able to attend all
three sessions. To sign up call the North Carolina Pottery Center
at 336-873-8430.

A Message From
Mayor Fernandez

January Town
Council Meeting
Highlights

My goal as Mayor of Seagrove is to unite

our community to move our town

forward. I want to see Seagrove grow and
become a town we can all take pride in. The best way for this to happen is

community involvement. Hopefully this newsletter will help inform our

citizens about what is happening in Seagrove, so we can all participate and
become part of the process.

First on the list for street

repairs will be Yow Road,
Wright Street and Walker
Drive.
Signs in DOT right of
ways are not permitted
and will be removed.
Removed signs will be
held for 30 days at the
Town Hall.
