Pottery Pinecones

GREAT TRAIL STATE DAY

Saturday, October 19, 2024

To celebrate Great Trails State Day in North Carolina, the Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area CVB has partnered with renowned Seagrove Potter Crystal King to create 30 pottery pinecones which will be hidden along select Moore County trails on Saturday, October 19^th. This is a spinoff of the very popular spring Pinecone Pathways Program which will enter its third year in 2025.

These “Crystal Cones” are all handmade and created by Crystal King. Each pinecone will be individually stamped by King and dated for authenticity. The CVB will announce which trails in Moore County where these pinecones will be hidden the day before Great Trails State Day, so hunters can plan ahead and be ready for the hunt.

The pinecones all look like the ones shown here on this page and will display a special tag with a QR code, so finders can register their pinecone and be eligible for a drawing to win a $250 gift card! The rules require only one person per pinecone, so of you locate two of them, we ask that you leave the extra pinecone behind for someone else to find.

Crystal King was born and raised within the rich pottery heritage of Seagrove, North Carolina. She is the daughter of renowned potters Terry and Anna King and is recognized by Folk Art Collectors all over the country. Crystal’s work is highly sought after and is displayed in many museums and collections. She is integral part of the southern Folk Art Pottery Culture.
