An encore Courtyard & Garden Tour was held April 29 with a considerable attendance touring 10 outdoor living spaces in Albemarle and Badin.

The proceeds from the tour provide funding for education programs and operating expenses of the two historic houses of the Stanly County Historical Society.

On behalf of the Courtyard & Garden Tour committee and the Board of Directors, we would like to thank our tour hosts for sharing their beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces.

We are appreciative of our event sponsors Albemarle Family & Occupational Medicine-Jeffrey A. Chance, PA, Hudson Pool Distributors, Inc, McAulay Allen Design, NJR Group and Catherine Kimrey Breeden. We also express our gratitude to Dave Andrews, 107.3 FM and 1010 AM WSPC, and to B.J. Drye, editor, The Stanly News & Press, for their support and generous coverage of the tour.

If you were unable to attend the tour and would like to contribute to the fundraiser, your donation may be mailed to Stanly County Historical Society, PO Box 1384, Albemarle, NC 28002.
