The public is invited to view a special Quilts of Valor presentation at the Horry County Museum. Quilts made especially for local veterans will be presented by the Conway Quilt Guild Quilts of Valor Group on Saturday, August 24th at 11 AM. The quilts to be awarded will be on display beginning August 13th at the Horry County Museum.
The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation (QOVF) is to cover all service members and veterans, touched by war, with a comforting and healing quilt. Since 2003, the foundation, now a national organization, has awarded over 300,000 quilts to veterans throughout the country. The Conway Quilt Guild has been recognized as one of the newest QOV groups, seeking to expand recognition to veterans in the northern and western parts of Horry County. To nominate a veteran for a Quilt of Valor, visit www.qovf.org. For more information about the Conway Quilt Guild, email conwayquilters@yahoo.com.
This program is free and open to the public and will be held in the Museum’s McCown Auditorium, located at 805 Main Street in Conway, SC. To view a full list of programs at the Horry County Museum, visit our website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.
