Rain Pours at Celebrate Clayton

Rain dampens this weekends festivities in the downtown area.

Celebrate Clayton took place Saturday and Sunday; however, heavy rains on Sunday caused the event to be cut short.

The Chairman of Celebrate Clayton Carl Butler says that Saturday went fairly well all things considered, but there were several issues on Sunday.

“It rained all day long,” said Butler. “We had to cancel the entertainment for the day because the tent over the stage collapsed because of the weight of the water. Then, a little after 12 o’clock, we went ahead and called the show for the day because of the heavy downpours.”

Butler says there appeared to be a good crowd on Saturday morning, although it thinned out throughout the day and was even less on Sunday.
