The Annual Tree Lighting in Historic Downton Clayton NC on December 4th was a great time for all. The town estimated that 3,000 - 3,500 were in attendance this year. Way more then the estimated $2,500 from last year.

Local businesses opened their doors to patrons, handing out sweets and treats and yes “Blinky’s”. Patron’s did a little Christmas shopping, viewed art by local artist at the Eye of the Eagle Art Gallery, while Bell Ringers played, the Chorus sang and Dancers Danced. There was a live nativity, Doggy Parade and whole lot more.

The Clayton High School Marching Comets then lead the way to Town Square for the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Of course the Marching Comets where fantastic and I may be a bit biased since my son is a Junior and plays the Trumpet in the band. But there were great and I love listening to them play. 

ABC 11 Eyewitness News morning anchor Barbara Gibbs  was the special guest host/emcee for the evening along with Clayton Mayor Jody McLeod.

It is really begining to look a lot like Christmas.

Please vist the Clayton Downtown Shops and Galleries for that one of a kind gift, dinner, or live music this holiday season and yes, don’t forget the Eye of the Eagle Art Gallery and Art Supplies. We are near the railroad tracks right behind the Pizzaz Thrift Store.

Happy Holidays from the Eye of the Eagle Art - “Bringing the Arts Alive”
