In order to provide for exceptional speakers from out-of-town, the CVOS has long participated in the July Hickory Furniture Marts Summer sale.  The mart provides prime location for the society to have our fund raising event.�

With heavy advertising from the marts merchants and the associated Arts & Crafts dealers invited to market their wares during the event, this is a proven opportunity for the CVOS to recharge its coffers above and beyond membership dues and raffles.
