First Quilt Trail Road Rally


Nov 7,  8 AM at Mountain Heritage High School in Burnsville NC. Thread Through the Mountains. The First-ever Rally is full of fun, challenge, prizes and fundraising for Habitat for Humanity. Contestants will be given a list of 15 quilt blocks to find, along with maps. The goal is to find the blocks by driving the fewest miles. There will be three different itineraries, and first, second and third prizes will be awarded for each itinerary, along with a grand prize. All prizes have been made by local artists and are something useful...such as a bird house, a mirror, a hurricane lamp, etc. The grand prize was made by Rolf Holmquist and is a large, yard-art birdhouse made from old barn wood and contains a quilt block on the front of it. The Rally will take place rain or shine. Register online (www.quilttrailswnc.org) for $25 until October 30. After that date the cost is $35. 25% of the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity. For further information visit www.quilttrailswnc.org or call 828-682-7331.
