Harvest Ball and Parade Slice Through Flora McDonald Pageant
The Flora McDonald school staged a Harvest Ball led by Miss Sarah Wiley of Southern Pines, with a crown for the Queen and a train of court girls. A Friday community parade showcased Scottish airs, fiddlers, and a Court of Colonial and frontier figures in a Sandhills setting, featuring a Birch Bark Canoe, a LaSalle theme, and living tableaux including George Washington and Lafayette in period dress.
