Davie Sheriff Andy Stokes was busy on Monday, traveling up and down NC 801 from Farmington Motorsports Park to Mocksville, and in the other direction to Bermuda Run.
He was getting reactions from residents and business owners to last weekend’s Smokeout rally that brought thousands of motorcyclists to Davie County.
“We received one complaint, and that was from Mrs. (Betty) Gunter, and she said it just didn’t last long enough,” Stokes said. “I’ve been to everything that was open in that area, and nobody has complained. They thought it was a positive thing. Everybody was impressed.”
Stokes said he talked to the ABC Store manager in Bermuda Run, who said business there was only slightly up. Many more were buying beer next door, but there were no reports of anyone drinking before arriving at the event ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise Record, P.O.
