Looking for some exercise that’s fun and a little different?
The Garner Senior Center is offering belly dancing lesson. This creative, non-competitive and incredibly intense workout engages your core muscles while encouraging strength and flexibility throughout your entire body. At least, that’s what I hear. I don’t belly dance. These sessions are available to people of “all sizes and health conditions.” Must be 18 years of age or older. The class will meet on Mondays from 6 - 7pm. The fee is $30 for Garner residents, $39 for non-residents.
Session I runs from January 28 - March 3.
Session II runs from March 17 - April 21.

We get email at Relocate Clayton. Apparently we’re popular enough to get questions from people who simply want answers about Clayton, NC and the other fine towns in Johnston County.
Today’s question:
Dear Relocate Clayton,
I just moved to Clayton from outside Boston, MA, and I’m looking for something to do - maybe a team sport or even watching some sports live somewhere.
What do you suggest?
Tom M.
Dear Tom,
Er um, have you checked out the Clayton Parks and Rec Department? They have a ton of indoor and outdoor activities and they’re responsible for several parks in the area. They also put on youth, and some adult, sports programs. Call the Clayton, NC Parks and Recreation Department at (919) 553-1550. Tell them Relocate Clayton sent you. They’ll wonder what the heck you’re talking about.
If you want to get back to nature, try Clemmons Educational State Forest. Not only will you get to meet a real live Park Ranger, you can do some hiking and picknicing. Get some friends together (if you have friends…I don’t know Tom that well) and try some group camping. You need to make reservations for this though. You cal call (919) 553-5651 for more info.
Coincidentally, the state forest is located near the site of the former Crazy Horse. So if you could get to Crazy Horse, you can get to the state forest.
Oh, and if you golf, there are plenty of places to golf. I don’t have time to golf, but my neighbor (pronounced Nay-Bah) is a member at The Neuse. He says it rocks if you’re looking for some place that’s not pretentious as all heck. I’m not saying other places like Pine Hollow and Riverwood are pretentiuous…my Nay-Bah simply hasn’t golfed there.
In terms of teams sports, Clayton isn’t that far from the MudCats minor league baseball team. For other outdoor activities, try Jordan Lake, Falls Lake, Harris Lake, Kerr Lake, and Relocate Clayton Lake. Ok, don’t try the last one, it’s actually just some standing water I have in my yard.
Thanks.
The Staff at Relocate Clayton

From what I’ve heard, the Clayton, NC Chamber of Commerce is very responsive and offers information packets for new residents and people who relocate to Clayton, NC. However, the Relocate Clayton staff have still not received a response to an email sent to the Clayton Chamber of Commerce on May 1, 2007 ar 3:42 PM. It’s a good thing the staff at Relocate Clayton are resourceful enough on their own to find the info they need to give to the daily onslaught of visitors to the Relocate Clayton site.
