Bladenboro’s Beastfest is fast approaching … December ’53 and early ’54. All kind of unusual happenings … some, maybe most, tall tales, but it was the talk of the area. A sleek, black animal about 5 feet long killing dogs … according to some, others questioned, but it made for good conversation and all were on high alert. The Beast of Bladenboro. … It was the talk of the town, state and nation.
Think I best leave it there … Beastfest continues … next edition is Saturday, October 25th & 26th and it will be a fun time in the ‘boro. Hope you are making plans. …. Music, Old Cars, Fun Rides, Collard Sandwiches and so much more.
One more big event a few months later in ’54 … Hurricane Hazel arrived. … If you witnessed either event, you are at least … mmmm … old enough for Social Security.
