2021 NC Region Fall Meet – Spencer Sept 18, 2021
Reported by Jack Harris
The Furnitureland Chapter hosted the NC Region Fall Meet in 2021 at the Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. The weather was good for a car show. There were 78 cars entered and 71 cars judged. The trophies kept the theme of railroad cars with a Southern Railway Hopper Car featured. The dash plaque on the trophy featured a 1963 Pontiac Catalina owned by Bill and Cathy Sykes. During the morning registration and parking, the NC Region Board of Directors held their meeting in a room in the back shop.
The transportation Museum offered bus rides down the street to the working Auto Maintenance Shop which the Museum acquired and restored for working on the vehicles which are part of the museums collection. The shop is now outfitted with lifts and tools and is displaying some vehicles and providing space for auto maintenance.
A highlight of the show was the display of a quilt assembled of squares submitted by the NC Region Chapters in 1992 and raffled off to benefit the NC Region. The winners of the quilt raffle, the McMillans of Roxboro, NC, kept it all these years hoping it could be displayed at the Transportation Museum. When the McMillans passed away their daughter contacted Jack Harris and asked if the Region would be interested in the quilt. Jack accepted and arranged for it to be displayed at the Fall Show and is now in the NC Region display cases at the Transportation Museum.
When the quilt was assembled each NC Region Chapter was contacted to prepare a quilt square which was then assembled into the quilt that was raffled. Each Chapter was asked to design a square and place a star representing their location on the map. The Chapters also donated $4.25 for material to assemble the quilt. Jack Harris has asked if you can recall any history of preparing the quilt or your chapters square to contact him at: 336-888-8211.
