The Town of Rutherfordton is proud to announce its partnership with Keep Rutherford County Beautiful to bring a life-sized chess game to Kiwanis Park called Pawns at the Park. The hope is that this game will be a gift to the community and bring more life to the vibrant Kiwanis Park, in addition to bringing awareness to the amazing organization that KRCB is.

A full month of programming through April will educate our community about best practices for recycling, conservation, and littering - all things to keep Rutherford County Beautiful. You can expect to find special episodes of Brewtiful Mornings, a conservation themed StoryWalk, Preschool Story Times, and Earth Day themed movies in the park all in the month of April.

Individual chess pieces are available for business sponsorship starting at $100. Each piece will be made from recycled material and will represent each sponsor. Please reach out to Allegra Lucas at Keep Rutherford Rutherford County Beautiful or [email protected] for more information about piece sponsorship. Sponsorships are tax deductible.

Join the Town of Rutherfordton on Friday, March 31st at 8:30 AM for the Grand Opening of Pawns at the Park near the covered bridge.
