Earlier this month, family and friends gathered at the College Hill Event Center to celebrate the 80th birthday of Clifford Canty. The birthday celebration, a surprise event, was filled with entertainment, songs, roasting and of course enjoying a delicious meal. Guests from as far away as Georgia were in town to help him celebrate. Mr. and Mrs. Clifford (Thelma) Canty, seated, are shown with, from left in front, Rashawn Kennedy and Sonja Patterson.
