Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers Raises over $10,000 at Annual Golf Tournament
Henderson, NC – The Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers raised over $10,000 during their 6th Annual Golf Tournament at Kerr Lake Country Club. The tournament took place on May 18th.
Closest to the hole prizes were provided by Sams Furniture and Mattress Center, Carolina Carpet and Flooring and WIZS Radio. Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat provided a new Fiat for a hole in one prize on Hole 15. No one won the Fiat
, but a hole in one was hit on Hole 18 (par 4). “That’s the first hole in one I’ve ever heard of here on 18,” said Karl Thurber, then general manager of Kerr Lake Country Club.
Chick-Fil-A of Henderson provided lunch free of charge to all participants.
The Screen Master provided trophies to the top three as well as the sportsmanship trophy.

The Pointe at Lake Gaston were the winners of the tournament with a score of 49. The “Moonshiners” finished second. Henderson Fruit and Produce finished third. The Henderson-Vance Recreation and Parks Department received the sportsmanship trophy.
Kevin Bullock, Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers President, said, “This is the first golf tournament in three years in which we didn’t have cold or rainy weather. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and we can’t thank the community enough for coming together to support the Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers.”
Much of the money raised will go towards the new P3 Tips application, which is now actively in use by the Henderson Police Department, Vance County Sheriff’s Department and Vance-Granville Community College Campus Police.

Corbitt to NC Transportation Museum
Corbitt trucks played a vital role in transportation around the world, all after being assembled right here in Henderson, NC. This role was especially evident during WWII.
Now, Corbitt and The Corbitt Preservation Association will participate in the NC Transportation Museum’s Salute the Troops activities on July 1 and July 2. (Be sure to click the two links in this sentence.)
Kenneth Stegall, archivist and treasurer with Corbitt Preservation, wrote in an email to members, “This material will become part of a permanent exhibit in the space the Museum is going to provide us to display Corbitt material and a few vehicles. This is a great way for all the folks in NC to see the role Corbitt played in the transportation world.”
The photo here is an example of one of the pictures to be used at the exhibit and is displayed in this story courtesy of The Corbitt Preservation Association. Stegall said the photos will be 20 x 30 and matted and will look really nice.
Local, Vance County owned Corbitts will be in Spencer, NC this weekend too as part of the exhibit, including immaculate restorations of Corbitt Military Trucks.
Everything costs money, including the ongoing cost of permanently having Corbitts and Corbitt materials in the NC Transportation Museum. If you would like to make a contribution, all donations can be mailed to:
The Corbitt Preservation Association
PO BOX 74
Henderson, NC 27536
