Good afternoon ENCTA members, sponsors, and friends. We will be canceling our “Good Times” meeting scheduled April 16th at Hunters Pointe Sporting Clays in Washington NC. With abiding by the set guidelines it is necessary. We hope everyone is safe and healthy. All we can do is keep our heads up and do our best. Remember to protect yourself and keep your families safe through all of this, you and them are what’s truly important. Keeping everyone in prayer!

Note: Hello Eastern Members, Sponsors, and friends. As much as I hate typing this we feel it’s the right decision to make. We will be canceling our meeting this Thursday March 19th. With the decision for schools to close as well as other numerous facilities, we feel it’s the right call. A special thank you to Kevin McCamy and his crew at Coharie, as I know we were all in for a great meeting. We don’t want to put any added stress or put anyone in harms way. Keeping everyone in prayer and hoping this passes quickly.

| 07:00 pm | Dinner served, tour followed by dinner. |
| History: Wilson, North Carolina’s story has captivated the imagination of the country. Farm machinery repairman, Vollis Simpson, began making gigantic kinetic sculptures at his family farm in Wilson County when he was nearing retirement age. He kept making his “whirligigs”–seven days a week–until about six months before he dies at the age of 94 in May of 2013. By that time he was famous. The story of Wilson’s campaign to use the renowned whirligigs to recharge its downtown has catapulted the community into the national spotlight. Grants from ArtPlace America, the Kresge Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts have helped the project come close to its goal of opening the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park and Museum. | |
