With Hog Day fast approaching (June 19-20) and the town's Gold Park an apparent hit with residents, I figure I should share something that was brought up at both town and county meetings last week.
Apparently, rumors have been spreading that Hog Day was going to be moving to Gold Park either this year or in later years. This is not true, Mayor Tom Stevens said last week. It's going to be held in Cameron Park (the land between Cameron Park Elementary and the Board of Education building off Cameron/St. Mary's).
Ditto on the rumor it will be relocated behind the new courthouse, near where the Occaneechi Village was previously located. In a budget discussion last week, commissioners mentioned in talking with Parks Director Lori Taft the event would not be moving to that location after River Park is opened. (River Park will be the land behind the buildings on West Margaret Lane and will be opened after the Justice Facility expansion is complete.)
See what ended up on The News of Orange County's cutting room floor.
