THE WEEKENDER

A free weekly newsletter from The Clayton Dispatch with what happened this week, what matters, and what’s happening this weekend in Clayton.

Every Thursday morning, The Weekender gives Clayton readers a clear, useful rundown of local news, town updates, downtown business notes, growth and development, weekend events, community stories, and the issues people are talking about.

It’s built for people who want to know what’s going on without having to dig through town agendas, Facebook groups, scattered event pages, and comment sections.

Each week, The Weekender includes:

The Big Thing
The main local story or issue worth paying attention to.

Town Hall Watch

Downtown Dispatch
Business updates, events, openings, closings, specials, and downtown notes.

Weekend Picks
A curated list of events, music, markets, pop-ups, fundraisers, and things worth showing up for.

Community Notes
Local stories, reader tips, nonprofit updates, school notes, and people doing good work.
