NC Zoo Honey Bee Exhibit

Allison and I got up early to leave Beaufort County and head to NC Zoo in Asheboro. The NC Grange made a monetary contribution to the new Honey Bee Exhibit, and Allison and I got to attend the opening! It was really neat to be a part of an exhibit opening at the zoo! (even if it was almost 100 degrees!!!)

Here are some pictures!

Playing Catch up....

Lots to fill you all in about!

First- The Board Meeting in Washington, NC

We (the NC Grange Board of Directors, Allison, Mark and I) all made the trip out to Beaufort County for the Board meeting, a tour of the PCS Phosphate Plant, and to attend the Beaufort Country Grange Meeting. We had lots of fun and learned tons! Here are some pictures from our trip out east!

PCS Phosphate Plant- They use these big machines to take off the first 40 feet of sandy dirt.


They use these to take off the 2nd 40 feet to get down to the phosphate.



Then on to the Grange meeting that night!

Allison gets interviewed by the local paper


The original charter signed by Oliver Hudson Kelly!
Beaufort County Grange was called Donnell Grange when it first chartered. It rechartered under the name Beaufort County in 1929/1930
