Join Us to Honor
Cap’n Purcell Jones
 Purcell Jones is a gentleman who deserves recognition for service to his community. He has touched so many people both in and out of Carteret County. Many of you know him as the owner operator of Camp Morehead (attention Camp Morehead Alumni. download event brochure (Adobe Acrobat PDF file, 263 kb)  Some are also aware he is a very special friend of the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center. Cap’n Purcell has spent thousands of hours doing everything from discovering sponsors to helping clean the kitchen. He is as much a part of our Museum as the walls and windows. He wants very much to see the Museum grow.
On October 25 we will hold a golf event in his honor and, at his request, to benefit the Museum. This is not just another golf tourney (see our brochure (download Adobe Acrobat PDF file, 263 kb)). Far from ordinary, the 18-hole Bob Moore designed championship golf course at the new North River Club will host our Captain’s Choice Tournament. Golfers will start their day with a light breakfast catered by Panera Bread, leave in their cart with goody bags on board, and be visited throughout the course by the traveling Coastal Beverage cart and Kinetico’s purified water. Larry Pittman’s Auto Market has a car waiting for the lucky golfer who hits the first hole in one.
If that is not enough enticement to join us, Floyd Olmstead, Floyd’s 1921 Restaurant, voted Best Chef 2007 by NC Coast Magazine readers will be cooking up his famous “Taste of the South” for lunch. Lunch will be made even more special when Cap’n Purcell receives well deserved recognition during the awards ceremony.
For a more sedate Saturday pace (see our brochure (download Adobe Acrobat PDF file, 263 kb)), Safrit’s Building Supply is helping us provide alternative entertainment to golf. Come enjoy a delicious Southern style brunch including something to sip while you leisurely tour the fully decorated North River Club model homes. Everyone touring these beautiful homes will be entered to win more than $15,000 of fabulous Home & Garden Makeover Certificates. The net proceeds of this event will also benefit the Museum in honor of Cap’n Purcell Jones.
These events are especially important to the future of Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center as we enter the next phase of construction in the fall of 2008. The Museum has been a culmination of support from across the state and beyond in the shared commitment to preserving our waterfowl heritage. We invite you to help us finish the work Cap’n Purcell helped envision. Please refer to the brochure for more information including ticket pricing or call the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center at 252-728-1500. Your participation will guarantee we make this day, October 25, a day Cap’n Purcell will always remember. |
