ROSEBORO — Progress on the town’s new stage is on the fast track to completion with its first use expected Friday during a grand opening ceremony.
“In the heart of our beloved downtown Roseboro, construction of a new stage venue nears completion,” noted Anna Rahilly, NC Lead Fellow. “Thanks to the generous contributions from the Sampson County Convention and Visitors Bureau capital grant, and the N.C. Commerce Rural Community Capacity Implementation grant, as well as the hard work of staff and volunteers, this venue became a reality.”
To commemorate the opening of the stage, which is located on 103 NW Railroad St., the town will host a ribbon cutting and inaugural concert Friday, beginning at 5:30 p.m., an event that is open to the public. The live performance will feature oldies and Motown specialist Thief of Hearts band and Yummy Hibachi is the first food truck tha will be serving at a stage event.
