The public is invited to view a special "Quilts of Valor" presentation at the Horry County Museum. Quilts made especially for local veterans will be presented by the newly formed Quilts of Valor Group from the Conway Quilt Guild on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 1 p.m.
A flag folding presentation will also be given by the Kings of Columbus from St. James Catholic Church during the ceremony. The quilts to be awarded will be on display in the Museum beginning Oct. 6.
The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation (QOVF) is to cover all service members and veterans, touched by war, with a comforting and healing quilt. Since 2003, the foundation, now a national organization, has awarded over 300,000 quilts to veterans throughout the country. The Conway Quilt Guild has been recognized as one of the newest QOV groups, seeking to expand recognition to veterans in the northern and western parts of Horry County. To nominate a veteran for a Quilt of Valor, visit www.qovf.org. For more information about the Conway Quilt Guild, email conwayquilters@yahoo.com.
This program is free and open to the public and will be held in the Museum’s McCown Auditorium, located at 805 Main Street in Conway.
