ClydeFest-to-Go Brought Out the Inner Artist Throughout Chatham County

COVID-19 may have prevented us from gathering to celebrate ClydeFEST this year, but it did not prevent the spirit of ClydeFEST from spreading far and wide in Chatham County.

Thank you to all you creative folk artists – yes, you! – who helped make ClydeFEST-to-Go a successful virtual event. We were thrilled to see so many unique, amazing critters posted via social media under #ClydeFestToGo. Chatham County is not only full of professional artists, but it has plenty of crafty kid artists as well. (Perhaps they’re folk artists in the making!)

We are grateful to ALL of our community sponsors for supporting this virtual event, but most especially, we thank The Jester Group at Baird for sticking with us when ClydeFEST 2020 turned into ClydeFest-to-Go 2020. They are true arts supporters in Chatham County.

And by the way, we owe a huge “thank you” to Chatham Marketplace and Oasis Market, who helped us distribute ClydeFEST critters to our beloved community. Thank you, thank you!

We hope to see you next year for a LIVE ClydeFEST event. Until then, be well. Stay safe. And WASH those hands!!!!!
