Hampton residents gathered at Bobby Shepherd Park to mark the city’s 100th anniversary on Saturday, Oct. 25.
City Clerk Mary Lou Hildreth said Hampton-area businesses contributed over $5,000 for the celebration, which included free meals from a food truck, face painting, balloon art, bounce houses and other activities.
Hildreth said that during her 10 years as city clerk, she has noticed a growing community spirit in the town.
She also pointed out new and planned businesses in the city, including Dollar General, Thermacell, the ARC of Bradford County, and a proposed convenience store on the northeast corner of County Road 18 and U.S. 301.
“And there have been some new houses built in Fox Hollow,” she added, highlighting the neighborhood behind Dollar General.
