Weldon Fall Festival

Join the crowd at River Falls Park on Saturday, October 8, from 11:00 a.m. -4:00 p.m. for fun, food, games, live music, and a picture and handshake with Charlie Daniel, Hall of Fame cartoonist and community leader.
Charlie, coming home from Knoxville, Tennessee, will be autographing his well-known cartoon, Weldon Rock Star, and having his picture taken with admirers young and old.
Charlie grew up in Weldon, went to Weldon public schools, became a powerhouse football player, and finished his high-school years at Fork Union Academy. He served in the Marines during the Korean war and later, after marrying his childhood sweetheart, Patsy Stephenson, a local beauty from Garysburg, graduated from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
