Good morning everyone, it sure is a beautiful day here in Henderson, NC and I hope it is where ever you are too. Just to fill you in on the happenings of the Corbitt Preservation, we are in the process of creating a Military Exhibit for the Military show to be held at the NC Transportation Museum located in Spencer, NC on July 1st and 2nd. 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 roll Corbitt played in the transportation world.
As you know all this takes money and not a whole lot but yet it does take out of our operating budget, there fore we are asking for donations to help with the cost of the exhibit. At this point we are looking at around $500 to start.
When we are told the amount of space to fill in the future I will let everyone know about what we are looking at in cost. We are just asking for you to do what you can if you can, a little money from all of us can get this done very easily. The membership dues alone are not enough to do projects like this as you well know. Please do what you can to help out, this is going to be something all of us can be proud of and a great opportunity for the Preservation so show our Corbitt spirit.
We have 2 shows coming up at the NC Transportation Museum one on the 24th of June which will be a fire truck show and our fire truck will be there as well.
The other is the military show July 1st and 2nd we will have lots of John Hedgepeth’s vehicles on display then.
Come join us in the fun and help out at the booth all help is welcome.
