Rutherfordton is about to get "funky" once again.

FUNC - which stands for Fridays Unplugged on Central - returns on May 6 at 7 p.m. This marks the second season for the music series which includes kid games, food, drinks, music and more.

"FUNC will be held the first Friday of each month May through October," said Cindy Adair, director of Rutherford Town Revitalization.

The grassroots event was begun in partnership with Small Town Coffee Roasters, with the purpose of bringing nightlife into town.

The series has grown this year to include more offerings and to encompass new businesses in the Town of Rutherfordton, one of the event sponsors.

"It's just great fun," Adair continued. "We'll have chalk again for kids to be 'pavement Picassos' as well as a train and a swing in the parking lot at Isothermal Planning and Development Commission."

For those who see a cool refreshment at the end of a long work week, beer will be available from new breweries located in Rutherfordton - Yellow Sun and Ruff'ton Brewhouse.

Music for the first FUNC of the season will be provided by Zack Byers, Ethan Morse and Toxaway. Are you a member of a band? Then your talents are in demand.

"We are always looking for artists to take part in the series," Adair said. "It doesn't matter what kind of music you perform."

Also planned during the event is the Crazy 4 Colby Obstacle Course (see related story, page 16).

Dates for the remaining FUNC's for 2016 are June 3, July 15, Aug. 5, Sept. 2 and Oct. 7.
