Summer of Pride

On the first night of operating, Brock stood out front informing customers of the change and offering refunds for membership if desired, and while a few did accept the refund, The Paddock Club quickly became a cherished space among the queer community in North Carolina. On the final night of operation, the club was filled to capacity with former patrons.

The sculpture is the original spiral staircase from The Paddock Club, with powder-coated rainbow ribbons added by NC artist, Jessica Bradshear. After the dedication, there will be a Popup Paddock Club Greenville at the State Theatre on 5th Street, where former patrons can reconnect and relive memories, and newer members of the Pitt County queer community can experience a night at the Paddock Club.
