On Aug. 11, the old Claremont gym in downtown Claremont was torn down due to the fact that the gym would need $338,000 worth of renovations to bring it up to code. The gym was built in 1928, and was one of the oldest buildings still standing in Claremont. According to Catawba County School officials, once the site is cleared several mobile units will be brought in, in order for the Claremont Boys and Girls Club of America to use as a meeting site. CCS officials also stated that the site could be used to construct a new school cafeteria or additional classrooms at a later date. Claremont city officials are planning to take bricks from the demolition site and move them over to the Claremont City Hall parking lot, so area citizens can take a brick as a reminder of the old Claremont gym and the city’s rich history.

The Old Company Store in downtown Catawba hosted its first annual car, truck and tractor show at Jeremy Mayfield’s Farm in Catawba on Aug. 21. The free family themed event drew area residents out to look at a number of classic cars, trucks, tractors and even a few motorcycles parked throughout the Mayfield Farm grounds. A lot of the cars, trucks and tractors on display were brought in by the Catawba Valley British Motor Club, the Hickory Chapter of the Antique Car Club of America, the SEBA and the Foothill Antique Power Association of North Carolina. In addition to all of the vehicles on display, numerous arts and crafts dealers, apparel vendors, jewelry dealers and antique dealers were also on hand selling their goods. For anyone that was hungry or thirsty, The Old Company Store, the Catawba Fire Department and Catawba United Methodist Church were selling food and drinks throughout the day. Children attending the event were able to enjoy playing on several large inflatables, playing on a fire truck from the Catawba Fire Department and petting some of the horses roaming around the Mayfield Farm. Plans are already underway for next year’s event, and anyone interested in participating is asked to call Matt Young at the Old Company Store at 241-4200. Pictured above, several area citizens look at a 1941 Lincoln Continental during the Old Company Store Car, Truck and Tractor Show at Jeremy Mayfield’s Farm in Catawba.
