New Bern Antique Car Show

We truly enjoyed the antique car show in New Bern, NC on Sunday afternoon.

Over 500 antique cars were displayed.  The cars came from all over the country.

New Bern, Coastal North Carolina, and the Carolina Colours community offer so many recreational, educational, cultural and historical opportunities, it’s hard to decide how to spend our Sunday afternoons.

Getting a work out …  In preparation for the opening of the pro shop, we had to relocate all of the fitness equipment to the Trent room in the Pavilion. Luckily we happen to have a number of members that appear to have used the fitness center in the past, as they were able to lift and move this equipment with ease.

The “moving crew”:  Gale Biers, Mike Wilson, Tom Trimmer, John Filipow and George Orsega.   Not pictured Jerry Trenholm.   Many thanks to the crew.

First of all, I would like to give a special thanks to the 25 very dedicated Carolina Colours residents that came out on Saturday April 24 to help spruce up areas of Carolina Colours that are not normally visited. I know that some people had other commitments and that is certainly understandable. Some folks were under the impression that because we pay dues for cleanup, there is no need to do anything further. However, Earth day is one day of the year when everyone pitches in to do just a little extra. Again my hearty thanks to all that helped out.

Bearon De Colours Committee Members and Artist

On Wednesday, December 9th, Bearon de Colours, officially joined his new family in Carolina Colours.  Bearon de Colours will welcome visitors to the Carolina Colours Social Pavilion daily.  Bearon de Colours was birthed through the Bear Town Bears project which brings together local artists and corporate/civic sponsors to place life-size, hand-painted, fiberglass Bears throughout New Bern.  The Bear, being the symbol of the historic town of New Bern, was selected for this public-art project.

Many thanks go out to the Carolina Colours Bearon De Colours committee for their many hours of service resulting in this special gift to the Carolina Colours community.
