The 2007 North Carolina Fall Campout
Forty-three units attended the Fall Campout. That’s about 20% of the state’s total
By way of comparison, twenty-seven units participated at the Piedmont District Campout.
The attendance at the State Campouts is shrinking as is the state’s membership. Enough statistics.
The high point of the program was Friday evening. Auctioneer Donnie Overman (Pine State Campers) provided several of us a chance to clean out some of our unused camping gear and gave someone else a chance to use it. The auction raised $318.85 to help cover the cost of publishing the State Association Newsletter.
Happenings: the board of directors met, The Teen Queen showed the audience what she will do in the Teen Queen Pageant, Mary, State Director, presented the 2nd place newsletter award to the editor of the Chair City Chatter, and Betty, Youth Director, did the same with a Participation Certificate and ribbon for Maggie’s entry in the Poster Contest.
The most appreciated activity was the Randolph Ramblers’ providing a dinner of hamburgers and fixins'.

Katie of the Chair City Chapter was crowned North Carolina’s Teen Queen. She will represent the state in the National Teen Queen competition at the 2008 National Campvention in Centre Hall, PA next summer. She turned 14 just in time to be eligible for Teen Queen.
She is a Freshman in High School. She plays clarinet in her school’s Spartan Legion Marching Band. She swam for the Brookside Barracudas, as did her sister Maggie. She loves animals, making clay figures, drawing, and singing.
Virginia, NC’s reigning Teen Queen, had the honor of passing her title to Katie.
Fall Campout attendees participated in The Gold Hill Founder’s Day Parade. Our Teen Queen rode regally atop the rear deck of a convertible. The rest of the gang clambered aboard a Culp Brothers low boy truck and threw candy to the crowd or walked handing out FCRV brochures.
FCRV made its presence known in Gold Hill.
The 2007 North Carolina Fall Retiree Campout
About ten couples of the Traveling Tar heels, the retiree chapter, gathered the Monday before the Statewide at Fleetwood. The chapter, which is open to any retired campers in the state, generally meets twice each year during the week before the statewide and at the same location.
This is a rather laid back group of folks unencumbered by a bunch of rules. The primary activities include playing games, eating, and story telling—some of which may even be true!
