Crewe Homecoming

CREWE -- The Crewe Homecoming Committee recently voted to change the date of the annual Crewe Homecoming celebration from the traditional third weekend in August to May. This year's event will be in on Mother's Day weekend, May 12-13, 2006.

There remains some controversy about the change, but the committee was motivated by the hot weather in August that has tended to reduce attendance at some Homecoming activities in recent years.

Mayor Henry Crittenden said this week that the number of vendors working Crewe Days probably would be down from previous year because they have made earlier commitments.
