This years’ Gateway Festival will
offer an opportunity to step back in
time to the Revolutionary War with
a Colonial period historic encamp-
ment and mock battle on the South
Meadow of Patriots Park. But, there
are also lots of opportunities to get
involved with this special event by
signing up to compete in an array of
activities.
Think you can run like the wind?
Sign up to compete in the Gateway
5K, hosted by West Elementary
School, where you run along the
tree-lined streets in the West End
Historic District of Kings Mountain.
There is also a less stressful 1 mile
walk.
Or, for those competitors who
relish the speed of a NASCAR race,
festival goers might want to consider
The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com
Gateway Festival to offer
new events, competitions
the Pumpkin Roll. This high energy
race will take place on Railroad Av-
enue and crowds will gather to
watch competitors roll their pump-
kins, either purchased on site or
bring your own, down Railroad Av-
enues’ steep slope. Co-sponsored by
Rhodesdale Farms and Hometown
Hardware, the race is hosted by Nick
Matola, who is producing the race as
an Eagle Scout project.
Do you know anyone who likes
to bake pies? There will be a “Farm
to Table” pie baking contest, with no
entry fee and celebrity judges to de-
cide the winners of different pie cat-
egories and age groups. Local food
columnist, Cathey Noell will host
this sweet competition. If you’re
lucky, you might even get a chance
to taste one of the entries!

TEENS: of Liberty Mountain
From page 3A
in history — 16- and 17-year-olds
were eligible to vote. And over-
whelmingly, they approached
the vote with sober reason.
They listened, they read, they
debated among themselves.
They were informed voters, and
a huge percentage of them
turned out to cast their ballots.
We have a superb group of
teen actors in “Liberty Moun-
tain” and they fill key roles in
the drama. They are talented
and energetic. They learn their
lines, they show up for rehearsal
on time, and they work hard
while they’re there. They are
the same age as some of those
folks who fought for independ-
ence at Kings Mountain 235
years ago, and they represent
their ancestors well.
Would our “Liberty Moun-
tain” teenagers rise to the chal-
lenge if presented with the
opportunity to cast a meaningful
vote in an election? I’m ab-
solutely convinced they would,
and I hope American teens get
the chance some day.
