Guinness World Record certificate for the Davidson group paddle ball record of Sept. 3, 2011.
Were you one of the 356 people who bounced paddle balls on the Davidson Green last September shooting for a world record? Pat yourself on the back. It’s now official: You are a Guinness World Record holder. Organizer Steve Langley of Hutnersville, who calls himself the Paddle Ball King, got the word Monday.
“It’s a relief,” Mr. Langley said Monday afternoon. “Although it was success by any measure of the fun … To get the official Guinness certificate is very satisfying. It was a pretty monumental effort and we had to jump through a lot of hoops.”

Guys, beer, and … a painting class? That was the special Sunday night at Sanctuary of Davidsonon Main Street, which hosted the first of a planned series of Guys’ Night Out events built around a painting class.
Eight adventuresome Davidson guys showed up to get in touch with their inner artists, or maybe the lure was the chance to hoist a few microbrews. Sanctuary owner Kristen Feighery modeled the event after the “Girls’ Night Out” art classes she has been hosting for the past couple of years. Read the full story

Santa Claus will make his annual pre-Christmas Eve tour of Davidson neighborhoods on Tuesday night, Dec. 13. He’ll be reviewing his route atop a Davidson Fire Department truck between the hours of 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Fire department officials say that because Santa’s time is limited, and turning around in cul-de-sacs and dead end streets is difficult, the best viewing for some residents may be intersections along through-streets.
“Thank you and a Merry Christmas,” the fire department said in announcing the trip.
