Residents and friends of Badin who turned out for the February Poor Man’s Supper showed their community spirit with donations to Better Badin’s Neighborhood Improvement Fund. Unfortunately, less than 100 out of the town’s 1,100 residents attended. Better Badin, a group long on spirit but short on volunteers, is dedicated to revitalizing Badin. It was instrumental in the town’s incorporation, initiated the annual Best of Badin Festival, formed the local museum and was active in the recent Small Town Main Street Project. They deserve our thanks and they deserve more support than they are receiving from Badin residents.
