‘Winterfest’ Winners Announced Saturday

While the weather may have felt more like spring, Winterfest took place in downtown Clayton over the weekend.

Saturday evening, a crowd gathered at the Rock House Park to look at the town’s winter displays one last time, as well as learn the winners of the four different categories, which City Manager Cissy Henry announced.

“The ‘Most Beautiful Award’ goes to FAITH,” said Henry. “The ‘Most Original Award’ goes to the Class of ’85, which is a benefit for Fel Rice Carroll, the ‘Most Humorous Award’ goes to the Kudzu Factory with Joleen Oh, and Simply Home Garden took the ‘Citizenship Award’ with collecting the most funds.”

The night before Winterfest, an incident occurred involving a snowman catching fire.

Firefighters extinguished the decoration.
