"Informing Cleveland County" Hog Happnin' Returns To Cleveland County Fairgrounds The Hog Happnin' Board of Directors voted on Thursday, January 30, 2014 for the 23rd Hog Happnin', a charity barbecue event set for October 31-November 1, 2014, to return to the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. A five year contract was negotiated and both sides are excited about the future events. The fair has always been supportive of Hog Happnin' and the board looks forward to a prosperous future together. The event is returning after a two-year stay at the Shelby City Park. Board President Lloyd Williams says, "We left the fairgrounds only because the health department temporarily suspended public usage in 2012. Charlie Holtzclaw, Shelby City Park Director, and his staff stepped up and helped us move the event to the park in just 12 days. They did a terrific job in meet- ing our needs, and we are very grateful for that help. However, the Hog Happnin' will be participating in the Old North State BBQ Competition in 2014, and we will require more space than is available at the Park." The entire Hog Happnin' Board thanks City Park staff and the City of Shelby for their hospitality and assis- tance for the past two years. Their help ensured that the event continued when it looked as it if would have to be cancelled. Twenty-three years ago Hog Happnin' started at the fairgrounds with only 12 teams participating in the barbecue competition. In 2013, there were 75 teams and 106 KCBS certified judges from across the country. In addition, there was a car show, an arts and crafts fair, a corn hole tournament for the public, ongoing entertainment and a Travis Powell concert. Connect, Commit to Change has been an important part of Hog Happnin' for the past two years, identifying volunteers for local charities. Plans for an even bigger and better 2014 Hog Happnin' are already underway. For more information, contact Lloyd Williams at 704-692-4576.

Kings Mountain Historical Museum Presents Common Threads: Kings Mountain's Textile Heritage from Prehistory to Today For anyone who lives in Cleveland County, the new exhibit at the Kings Mountain Historical Museum is a must! The display entitled "Common Threads" follows a timeline from the Native American textiles to the textile mills of the 19th and 20th centuries. The present display is great for historical buffs and an education for all children. Visitors will see photos of the mills that were prominent throughout Kings Mountain and Cleveland County, one of which is the Margrace Mill. It was named after mill founder Charles Eugene Neisler's two eldest daughters, Margaret and Grace. Also on display are textile mill baseball photos. This sport was very much a part of mill life from the 1870's to 1950's. Other displays include: uniforms from the Margrace Mills team, an actual flax wheel from the early 1800's, and a corn sheller and farm planter. These are just a few pieces of the equipment of the times which dominated the county for years. Photos of mill workers and groups don the walls. This exhibit is truly a panorama of what was once an important part of our communities. Whether you are a native of the county or a recent arrival, you will find this exhibit most interesting and educational. Admission is free and the museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. This exhibit will be on display through May 24th and is located at 100 East Mountain Street. For more information or to schedule a group tour call 704-739-1019. –M. A. Andrews Jane Talbert of the Kings Mountain Historical Museum overlooks the loom on display at the new textile heritage exhibit. Roger Suttles (left), his granddaughter, Haylee and neighbor, Norman Bradley were among the first to visit the exhibiit. Mr. Suttles, who worked in the mills, said the display brought back "a lot of memories". Congratulations to Bill Albright and Curtis Wray. Winners of our Super Football Game Contest.
