Shalloween Festival

October 23, 2016 · By Deb Phillips – The Photo Gal 
The Town of Lewisville sponsored its popular annual Shalloween event on October 22, 2016 with a wide range of activities and sweet candy rewards for all participants.

This rather eye-catching character was spotted having fun at Lewisville’s Shalloween Festival.

Who Goes There?

Shallowford Square was teeming with all kinds of costumed characters on Saturday, October 22, 2016, when the Town of Lewisville hosted its annual Shalloween Festival.

You name it, your favorite, or perhaps not-so-favorite, character could be seen roaming the Square, playing games and participating in arts and crafts projects.

In fact, everywhere one turned, there were superheroes, cartoon characters, princesses, ninjas, soldiers, pirates, sports stars, cuddly animals, dinosaurs, vampires, the walking dead and so many other interesting characters. One thing they all had in common — their treat bags were getting fuller by the minute with candy and prizes!

The Shalloween Festival wrapped up with an engaging performance by Mister Mike, a local comedy magician and juggler.

Tarzan, the Stage Musical

On the evening of September 4, 2016, the night sky over Shallowford Square was filled with stars, while the intriguing, sometimes ominous sounds of the jungle echoed all around.

Indeed, danger, love and humor awaited audiences of all ages last weekend (September 2 – 4, 2016) when the Town of Lewisville presented Tarzan, the Stage Musical. If you missed the show — or if you’d like to see it again — Tarzan, the Stage Musical will return to Shallowford Square this coming weekend, September 9 – 11, 2016.

Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Forsyth Amateur Radio Club – Broadcasting Live

The Forsyth Amateur Radio Club broadcasted live from Lewisville’s 25th Anniversary Celebration on August 13, 2016.

Amateur radio, also known as ham radio, is a fascinating world of technology, social interaction and education. No Internet or cell tower connection is required to speak to people around the world — or across town.

When I visited the club’s tent that was set up along the perimeter of Shallowford Square, Terry Brown of Clemmons happened to be manning the radio. Terry allowed me to record an exchange between him and a local amateur radio operator.

Historical reenactors at Lewisville, NC's 25th Anniversary Celebration

Historical reenactors, hosted by the Lewisville Historical Society, at Lewisville, NC’s 25th Anniversary Celebration

Going Back in Time

During Lewisville’s 25th Anniversary Celebration, held on August 13, 2016, the Lewisville Historical Society hosted reenactors who, for a few minutes, took audiences back in time, more than 100 to 200 years. Standing near the Nissen Wagon Museum (located on the western corner of Shallowford Square), reenactors represented four men who long ago impacted the town of Lewisville.

Men of Renown

Who were those four pivotal men?

One man was Lewisville’s founder, Lewis Case Laugenour (portrayed above, top left). Another was J. Wilson Carroll (portrayed above, top right), who was hired as the principal of the newly formed Lewisville Academy in 1901. Then there’s Morgan Bryan (portrayed above, bottom left), a man whose family settled along the Yadkin River, just north of the Shallow Ford, before the Moravians settled in this area. We also heard from George Elias Nissen (portrayed above, bottom right), whose family manufactured a popular vehicle of transportation in the latter 1800s, the Nissen wagon.
