The Burlington Checker Club participated in this years Annual Cedarock Park Historical Farm Festival by setting up a checker booth with table & chairs for playing checkers. This provided exposure for our Checker Club, introduces NC Checker Association, and hopefully promoted our great game to several thousand visitors who spend the day at the historical farm festival. Our booth was on the left side the Alamance Co. Beekeepers so we got some pictures of Mike Ross demonstrating his bee handling skills and their display booth, along with our checker playing group.
