Reidsville Announces Grand Opening of Market Square -
MARKET SQUARE GRAND OPENING
August 22, 2009 will mark one of the biggest celebrations in downtown Reidsville with the Grand Opening of Market Square located at the corner of Scales and Settle streets.
Headlining the amphitheatre stage for the festivities will be Beach Music sensation, BAND OF OZ, and up-and-coming Country Music Singer Justin Moore.
“Market Square is the centerpiece of our efforts to rejuvenate our downtown area,” says Mayor James K. Festerman, “but it is not just a downtown amenity. It is a citywide park in a centralized location that we hope will serve as a rallying point for activities for our citizens and a huge source of community pride for them as well.”
The Mayor added, “This grand opening concert will kick-off a host of community events designed not only to entertain local residents but also to draw visitors to Reidsville who will enjoy our shopping, eat in our restaurants and stay in our hotels. We have already received calls from as far away as South Carolina from people planning to come and hear Justin Moore perform.”
The celebration gets under way at 4:00 p.m. with the Reidsville Faith Community Mass Choir. This choir represents a cross section of choir members from area churches. Following this performance, a youth choir lead by Reidsville High School Choral Director, Gwendolyn Bell will take to the stage. At 5:00 p.m., there will be a ribbon cutting and opening ceremony celebration.
BAND OF OZ will perform at 6:00 p.m. Shagging will be encouraged! At 8:00 p.m., Justin Moore will hit the stage. Justin’s newest hit single is “Small Town USA” recently #15 on the Country Charts.
The evening will end with a fantastic fire dancing performance by the Ember*Ellas.
There will be face painting, stilt and hoop performers and fantastic food.
Shuttle service provided by Pelham Transportation will be available from 3 p.m.-11:00 p.m. with pick-up and drop-off at Pennrose Mall.
