From Thursday through Sunday of All-Star Race Weekend, Wilkes EDC hosted a dedicated hospitality area at North Wilkesboro Speedway. In combination with our sponsors, we were able to host over 350 guests and offer a focused hospitality effort. Now in its second year, this initiative was designed to support one of our core goals: strengthening business relationships and welcoming new guests to Wilkes County.
The space provided an opportunity to connect visitors to our partners, LEAP Forward Investors, and board members in a setting that highlighted both the energy of the event and the spirit of our community. These personal interactions play an important role in advancing our mission and expanding awareness of what Wilkes County has to offer.
We are especially grateful to North Wilkesboro Speedway for their continued support in helping us secure the space and ensure a successful weekend. Our thanks also go to The Change Wagon for their outstanding food service and their willingness to assist throughout the event.
We are proud to recognize the sponsors who helped make our hospitality effort possible during All-Star Race Weekend. Wilkes NC Tourism, Retail Solutions Group, Blair Properties, LLC/Allen Tate, Piccione Vineyards, TwoBoros Brewery, Carolina Dozer Excavating & Grading, and The Print Shop served as our Hospitality Area sponsors, helping us create a welcoming and professional space for our guests.
We also want to thank those who stayed after the race on Sunday to help pack up materials. Your support was greatly appreciated.
