Thanks to the special negotiations done by Jack Harris and the Furnitureland Chapter with the NC Transportation Museum at Spencer, we were able to hold the 2020 NC Region Fall Meet. The show was very successful considering the special social distancing constraints. The Museum Grounds were well manicured and seasonally decorated with many scarecrows including one representing the NC Region that was prepared by Jack and Audrey Harris. The NC Transportation Museum grounds had the show cars arranged over the entire campus area with vehicles parked at good distances from each other. There were hand sanitizers everywhere and masks were worn by everyone. The NC Region Board Meeting was held in the Back-shop building with social distancing. The weather was excellent for a car show. The museum facilities had just reopened, and you could walk around to see the displays. They have obtained many new vehicles which were on display. The only thing missing this year was the hot dog tent. There were 63 vehicles on display with many participants anxious to get out and show their vehicles for the first car show this year. The entered vehicles were all excellent examples. There were 6 first time Redbirds, 8 first time HPOF, and one 1 first time DPC award. The judging was done with two person teams.

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, 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 will also include it 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.
