Museum racing exhibit opens

South Boston News South Boston News
These two fellows pictured were so happy to see the town and county's favorite NASCAR driver, Jeff Burton, at the South Boston-Halifax County Museum. There's a great exhibit "Racing in Halifax County." On the right is Gerry Gilliam, a valued friend of the museum, serving untold hours helping where needed. Here, in the South Gallery, he has opened the display as a tour guide to the other fellow, Bill Miller, to see just what is on display. Gerry seems to be counting just how many sponsors Jeff has to help him maintain the good record he has. This grand exhibit, which cannot satisfy in just one visit due to the wealth of detail throughout, it's colorful and parts of it will appeal to children. Those who are so well informed about the sport will especially enjoy the information about the "old time" racers. The museum is open Wednesday thru Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at 1540 Wilborn Avenue; admission is free.
