On May 5, 2025, trees were planted at the Clayton Community Center Ballfield in memory of Reg Pye and Chris Carroll. Family and friends raised the funds through a BBQ fundraiser during a ball tournament. These trees will provide shade for future players and spectators, serving as a lasting tribute to Reg and Chris, who were both well-loved members of the community. They will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

The Clayton Recreation Club has a straightforward Mission Statement: To ensure the long-term viability of the Clayton Community Centre (including the ballfield and grounds) as a hub for hosting a wide range of year-round activities and events for local and surrounding communities; and to provide an appealing, versatile facility for area residents, businesses and organizations to host their own events.

The current volunteer Board of Directors is prioritizing key capital projects over the next few years, including washroom and kitchen upgrades, siding repairs, backup power installation, and accessibility improvements. While we are actively fundraising and working with the municipality, we need added support to secure grants, finalize plans, and complete these projects.

ClaytonFest Returns!

A Day of Music, Community, and Fundraising

Get ready for a day of fun, music, and community spirit!

ClaytonFest, the annual outdoor music festival hosted by the Clayton Recreation Club, returns on July 19 from noon to 7:30pm. This year’s event promises a fantastic lineup of local musical talent and a vibrant marketplace featuring local vendors. This year’s performers include Country Reflections, Ali McCormick, Brad and Marty, Cashmen Ford, Vicki Brittle, Jame & Brendan McMunn, The Maywoods, and Small Town Socials.

Held at the picturesque Clayton Community Centre (located at 147 Linn Bower Lane), this is more than just a festival — it is a vital fundraiser supporting the ongoing maintenance and improvement of this beloved community hub.

Proceeds from ClaytonFest directly benefit the Clayton Community Centre, a privately funded facility run by volunteers for over 40 years. Past fundraising efforts have already yielded significant improvements including a newly constructed pavilion and upgraded parking lot. This year’s funds will continue to support the Centre’s operations and future projects.

The Clayton Community Centre is a versatile space available for rentals, perfect for weddings, parties and various events. With a seating capacity of 233, kitchen facilities, a bar and a stage, it is the ideal location for gatherings of all sizes.

Mark your calendars and join the community for a day of celebration at ClaytonFest! Tickets are $25 (10 and under free), and can be purchased from Clayton General Store, Nicholson’s Sundries, and the Almonte Legion.
