Rural Center Uses Our Rural Image

We were fortunate, this Christmas season, to have one of our photographs selected by the Rural Center for their Holiday Card. The image is of G.C. Green’s farm at New Hope (Laurel Springs area) in Alleghany County. The emails went out statewide and bumped our web site traffic this week. Thank You to the folks in Raleigh for giving us some exposure and highlighting our area!

The Rural Center is an outstanding resource that serves 85 NC Counties, and we appreciate their efforts on our behalf!
