Cary's Annual festival to see 60,000 people

The town of Cary is expecting as many as 60,000 people to attend the 30th annual Lazy Daze Arts & Crafts Festival this Saturday, the 26th of August. The festival entails 350 arts and craft booths, food and entertainment and is scheduled from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The event will feature artist from all over the country and will be held on Chatham and Acadamy streets in downtown Cary.

Free shuttles will be provided at the Cary Towne Center near the Sears store and will run every 15 minutes ending at 5:30p.m. The Cary Towne Center is located on Walnut Street and Maynard Road.

All money raised by this event will benefit the Lazy Daze grants which extends grants to nonprofit organizations throughout Cary. Since its inception 30 years ago, Lazy Daze has distributed more than $350,000 in grants.

"This is simply another way for the good people of the Triangle to give back and help worthy causes", stated Steven W. Nelson, a local real estate agent. "This is the best of both worlds, people can shop 'til they drop and know that they are giving to worthy causes at the same time."
