We extend our sincerest appreciation to Education Program Chairperson Pat Bramlett, local historian Lewis Bramlett, and Dr. Chris Bramlett for their exceptional presentation about John Stanly last evening.

We were also pleased to have the Stanly County Concert Band brass ensemble perform a patriotic prelude. These programs require considerable effort, including research, planning, and rehearsals to provide an enriching experience.
