YVH’s button, donated to the MFHA as part of the 2007 Centennial Celebration, enjoys a prominent position in a “Memory Mirror,” created by artist Julie Honsinger.
The piece includes buttons from 155 recognized and registered hunts, which are arranged alphabetically in two rows — the outer perimeter of the piece and the inner perimeter of the mirror itself. Because YVH is the last donor hunt in the alphabet, our button is one position left of center in the inner row, clearly visible in the photo below:
The Memory Mirror is part of the 2007 Art Tour coordinated by the MFHA and Cross Gate Gallery. It measures 24″ X 47″ X 5″ and weighs 45 pounds.
The history of Yadkin Valley Hounds 1975-2007 is included in the Centennial Celebration book published by MFHA and is finally available for purchase next month.
YVH also has one of the best videos included in the companion Centennial DVD. Our video was produced during the 2003-04 hunt season by members Will and Deni McIntyre and edited for submission to MFHA by Evie Good’s son Fletch. The DVD is also available for purchase from MFHA separately or with the book.
