Well over 100 attended the summer concert in Seagrove in the Thompson Arts and Event Hall on Saturday night, June 10th, 2023. The concert was preceded by a reception at Walker Art Studios for the "Horsing Around" display complimented by art in the Carey and Billie Durham Artwalk by Melissa Walker. Shelly LaCosse provided dance instructions for new comers to swing dancing while several guest from around the piedmont displayed great skill in "cleaning the floor" as the emcee Miss Randolph County, Tori Gross humorously put it. Door prizes were awarded including a bucket of specialty popcorn from local Asheboro Popcorn Co. in Seagrove and bucket scrubber kits from Sapona Plastics. The Randolph Jazz Band under direction of Kenny Butler lived up to the billing with jazz, latin and even pop rock tunes that delighted everyone. The hall has a really full sound that was easy on the musicians as well as the crowd. Soloist demonstrated their virtuosity on trumpet, sax, trombone and piano. The 16 piece band backed up guest vocalist Ashley Hutton on two numbers and Justin Hutton stepped in on drums for several tunes. Girl Scout troop 30008 volunteered in concessions with homemade goodies and drinks. They shared plans to create a pollinator garden from donations received by the Town for the renovation project. Thanks to everyone who participated and attended.
