24 th PIONEER DAY

POC – GARY EDWARDS,
Event Coordinator, Lincoln County Historical Society,

(757) 831-9556

THE LINCOLN COUNTY Historical Society will host the 24th
Pioneer Day at the Lincoln County Historical Park, 147 Lumber
Street in Lincolnton, on November 20 from 10 am to 3 pm,
featuring living-history demonstrations, Southern Cooking, family
entertainment, and even an antique tractor show. New for this
year, our entertainment will focus on Olde Time Mountain Music
and we’ll have Barn Dancing in the Pavilion. The Lincoln County
Historical Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit association organized to
perpetuate the history of the economic and cultural activities of
Lincoln County, Georgia. The Lincoln County Historical Park was
created over the last 30 years by the Society from a bare tract of
land, using lots of elbow grease and almost completely volunteer
labor.

Event Coordinator Gary Edwards states, “We didn’t have Pioneer
Day last year and we promised to make this year’s event bigger and
better than ever. Come help us do that! It’s a great event - it’s fun
to come and participate, and it’s also fun to help put it on. Contact
me at (757) 831-9556 to volunteer.”

THE GOOD SHEPHERD Men’s Club
held their 15th annual golf outing at the
Savannah Lakes Village Tara Golf Club on
Monday, September 20, 2021. The outing
was attended by 64 golfers from Savannah
Lakes and McCormick County. The
tournament format was a scramble with
foursomes of men and ladies enjoying the
18 holes of golf. It started to rain heavily
during the round, but these hearty golfers
toughed it out to the end, even though they
were soaked to the skin. Hooray for all
who finished the game!

Winners of the tournament and the
special events were awarded cash prizes by
the Outing Chairman, Pat Ouellette. In
addition, many gift prizes were awarded
to golfers based on a random drawing. A
