To celebrate Great Trails State Day in North Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 18, the Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) has once again partnered with renowned Seagrove Potter Crystal King to produce 30 pottery pinecones to be hidden along selected trails in Moore County that day. This year, the 30 “Crystal Cones” will feature a blue glaze known as Moonlit Carolina, unlike last year’s which were a faint orange in color with a pine green leafing. Each pinecone will be individually stamped, numbered and authenticated by King.
“We are so happy that Crystal (King) wanted to participate again in this special one-day program to highlight Great Trails State Day in North Carolina,” said CVB President and CEO Phil Werz in a press release. “The idea for a new color allows for those that found one of them last year to add to their rare collection of limited edition pottery pinecones. With the excitement generated each spring with our Pinecone Pathways Program, this allows the ‘coneheads’ to get their fix for one day in the fall.”
“I’m thrilled to be part of the Pottery Pinecone program and it was fun creating the 30 pottery pinecones that will be hidden along trails in Moore County on Oct. 18th,” said King, Seagrove Potter and owner of Crystal King Pottery in a press release. “With these new pottery pinecones and our separate pottery pumpkins we produce each year, it will be a very busy fall.”…
