bvHttfdwMo Warsaw by way <5 ?
Turkey, complete with a carton
at warm milk, cheese sandwich
and an old issue of Time
msgsrine. Second prise was a
trip to New Orleans.
?Everywhere we went 1 no
ticed that people were sincere
r
. and 1 did not see the first person
who acted as if they had been
talked into greeting us. Alio, we
felt like the People of Warsaw
and Duplia Caunty enjoyed the
weekend as mud) as we did,"
exclaimed Joe Wilson. ? : ?
"WIS made us think Warsaw
was nothing hot a crossroads
with a filling station on the
corner, but there's a lot to see
here," Joe said. "In fact, we
hope to take our vacation and
comeback." ^ .
K? The red carpet weekend jr
began Friday when the Quinn
Company six-passenger plane
left P.B. Raiford Airport at 9
'? a.m. with Friday's hosts, John
and Sylvia Weatberiy, to pick up
the Wilsons.
John said, "Probably the
highlight of the Wilson's trip to
Warsaw, and surely mine, was
when we buzzed P.B. Raiford
Airport and saw the crowd of
200 or more waiting to give a
special Duplin County greet- ?>
tog,"
Greg Bell, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, wel
comed the Wilson at the airport
saying, "This is a celebration
showing what Duplin County
and Warsaw, N.C. have to offer.
The people down there (South
Carolina) apparently did not
know very much about the kind
of hospitality and the kind of
good people we have here."
The Wilsons told the crowd,
"This reception is unbelievable
-? really fantastic. We hope to
meet all of you during our trip to
Warsaw."
After leaving the airport, the
Wilsons were taken to Warsaw
Baptist Church and presented
the keys to the town by Mayor
Johnny Powell. Graham
Phillips. Wallace attorney, pre
sented certificates naming them
"Honorary Tarheels" on behalf
of Governor Jim Hunt.
Friday activities culminated
with a luncheon at The Country
Squire and a pig-picldng at
Duplin Country Club.
Another event planned for the
weekend was a grand tour of >
downtown Turkey Saturday with
their hosts Marvin and Sarah
Sutton. Turkey originally was
picked to host the winners, but
Warsaw was chosen after the
bus company told WIS they do
not stop in Turkey.
A tour of Westwater Gardens,
the Courthouse, James Sprunt
Institute. Liberty Hall, and the
Historic old homes in Kenans
ville followed a luncheon at
Frank and Helen Steed's Satur
day afternoon.
A reception and a dinner
dance was held at The Country
Squire Saturday night.
Sunday was also another busy
day for the Wilsons. Betsy and
Paul Brewer were their hosts.
After lunch with Greg and
Phyllis Bell, a tea was held at
the Fire Station for the public
sponsored by the Business and
ftttfessional Women.
The weekend was a big event
for Warsaw and Duplin County.
Betsy Brewer said of the
Wilsons. "They were very easy
to talk with and most compli
mentary about every aspect they
saw in Warsaw: They compared
Warsaw to their hometown of
Leesville as being about the
same size."
Joe, 30. is an installer for
Western Electric Telephone,
and his wife, Joy, a housewife.
The Wilsons have two sons,
ages 3 Vi and 8 months.
The Quinn Company plane
was loaded Sunday for the
winning couple's return trip to
Leesville, S.C. with a variety of
gifts from the proud people of
Duplin County, but as the
Wilsons put it. "More impor
tant are the warm feelings we
carry back with us from the
people of Warsaw and Duplin
County."
