On October 22nd DL Bianchi's Brickyard in Southport, NC had a ribbon cutting organized by the North Brunswick of Commerce. I was out of town that day but Justin Williams of NBM and SBM magazines was on hand and was kind enough to share the photos below.
Prior to the ribbon cutting NBCC board members and staff gathered outside.

Inside the showroom guests were served a bountiful repast (only in November can you use the terms 'bountiful repast' with impunity).
Board members Frank Williams, Tony Vlach, Brenda Bozeman, and Justin Williams (oh-oh, I thought he took these pictures, hmm, it must have been someone working with him - Okay, just found out, Justin posed this next one and handed the camera to Jeff Harvell - good shot, Jeff).
George, Frank, and Tony.
