Dear Friends,
The State of North Carolina is proud to welcome you to the beautiful City of Wilmington for the
2014 North Carolina Azalea Festival. This is such a wonderful time of year in our Port City and an ideal
opportunity for visitors to truly enjoy the southern hospitality and natural beauty that make all of North
Carolina a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family.
Azaleas are a favored plant in North Carolina, and our annual Azalea Festival and the crowning of the
Azalea Queen signify that spring is here. A stroll through any of our cities and towns will include azaleas of all
colors gracing homes and businesses throughout the season.
Ann and I are pleased to welcome you to this special community event and we hope that you enjoy the
splendor that is Spring in North Carolina.
Kindest regards,
Pat McCrory
Governor
Since 1948, North Carolina has welcomed the splendor of spring by celebrating the beauty of our great
state during the North Carolina Azalea Festival. Sixty-seven years of tradition and southern charm makes the
Azalea Festival one of the most cherished events in the South. With more than 1400 volunteers, we are truly
a community driven event. Please join me in thanking each and every one of our great volunteers for their
incredible enthusiasm and hard work. Our volunteer organization is more family than festival, and for that I
personally thank you for your continued dedication.
We further owe a great debt of gratitude to the more than 250 different sponsors that return each year to
provide financial support to our great Festival. The North Carolina Azalea Festival would not be the success
that it is today without the generous support of our Patrons, Donors, Event Sponsors, Community Partners,
Benefactors and Major Sponsors. With your support, the Azalea Festival continues to be a crowned jewel of
our community.
Dear Guest, on behalf of our Board of Directors, 66 Past Presidents, over 100 Committee Chairs, and
nearly 1400 volunteers, I welcome you to the 2014 North Carolina Azalea Festival. With so many events to
choose from, I am sure that you will find plenty to do during the Festival weekend. The “best bargains” are
our Parade, Street Fair, and our nationally recognized Boxing Competition. The “can’t miss” events include
our Airlie Luncheon, Celebrity Reception, Queen’s Coronation and our Concert Series. But, don’t forget the
Circus, Cape Fear Garden Club Azalea Garden Tour, Historic Wilmington Foundation Home Tour, Coin Show,
and Juried Art Show.
It has truly been an honor representing this festival as a Sponsor, Volunteer, Committee Chair, Officer, and
this year as your President. To Liz, Robby, Jean, Justin, and Jon, thank you for your hard work and dedication
to the development of the future of this Festival. To Alison, Casey, Kevin, Meg and the rest of our incredible
staff, job well done. To Donna, Hank, Chuck, Erica, Charlie and the rest of our Past Presidents, thank you
for your kind words, encouragement, and advice along the way. To my wife Ashley, and daughters Drew and
Katie, thank you for your patience, support, and understanding. What fun we have had as a family and what
wonderful people we have met along the way.

Welcome to beautiful Southeastern North Carolina! The 67th North Carolina Azalea Festival
reflects the history, heritage, and hopes of the citizens and community of Wilmington and New
Hanover County, North Carolina.
It is a history that recognizes and honors the freedoms and opportunities that our great
country provides to all. It is the natural heritage of gardens, flowers, and beautiful landscape
that this Port City provides. And it is the hope that each and every person who joins in this
special weekend will celebrate the beginning of Spring in a wonderful
variety of events with friends and family.
I am especially pleased that since coming to Congress, I have officially been able to recognize
the North Carolina Azalea Festival as a great American tradition, allowing it to take its rightful
place among our nationally-recognized festivals. After all, this tradition is not only a North
Carolina treasure, but also an American one.
Special thanks to all those that have worked so hard to make this weekend
special, and I hope that you truly enjoy the celebration that the North Carolina Azalea Festival
offers. May God bless you and all who join us for this classic celebration!
Sincerely,
Mike McIntyre

at Wilmington. Tori is the daughter of Rano and Anne Mathew. She and her court were
selected from among 21 contestants representing seven area high schools.
Tori has received numerous awards and honors throughout high school. She is the recipient
of the Timothy Award for Exemplary Leadership. She also received Academic Achievement
Awards in Honors Algebra II, Honors English II, and AP Psychology. In addition, she has been
named MVP for Varsity Cross Country two years in a row. She participates in Honors Show
Choir, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and leads a 5th Grade girls’ small group. In her spare
time, she enjoys baking, reading and writing short stories and songs. After her senior year, she
would like to earn a PhD in Psychology or attend medical school to become a psychiatrist. She
wants to become fluent in Spanish.
Junior girls from area high schools compete for the title based on a private interview with
judges, evening gown competition, and on-stage presentation. BB&T and the Azalea Festival
Youth Committee (AYFC) sponsor the North Carolina Azalea Festival Princess. The Princess
is the recipient of the Beverly Anne Jurgensen Scholarship Award, named after the beloved

Justin Moore
Thursday April 10th, 8:00pm
Location: The Miller Lite Main Stage-CFCC 411 North Front Street
Tickets: $31.50
Justin Moore’s always had a thing about doing it his way.
Call it stubborn redneck mettle, a well-developed case of “who I am” or
just the fierce commitment to blaze a trail inherent to people from his
home of Poyen, Arkansas. It doesn’t matter why, just that the blazing
sense of off the beaten path drives his album of the same name.
Again teaming with fellow writer/producer Jeremy Stover, the pair
turn up the guitars, lean into the swagger and refine the powerful good
ole boy perspective that allows for all the bravado. There’s a strong vein
of tenderness and decency holding Moore’s kind of country together.
Look no further than Rhett Atkins/Ben Hayslip/Ross Copperman-written
“Point At You,” the lead single, that acknowledges every wild hair Moore
has, but hits the bottom line of his goodness via the woman who became
his bride.
Those dualities are the truest thing about most red-blooded American
males. Get loud, get rowdy, but get home and emerge solid family
men dedicated to some basic ideals that have defined this country.
One need look no further than The Warren Brothers/Lance Miller/
Randy Houser
Randy Houser is a man refreshed.
Houser’s own past contains no
shortage of achievement, including
multiple nominations for ACM and
CMA Awards, a #2 single in the
form of “Boots On,” and songwriting
credits for major names such as
Trace Adkins, Justin Moore and
Chris Young. In 2008—mere months
after the release of his debut single,
“Anything Goes”—Houser was even
asked by David Letterman himself to appear on the Late Show. The
singer’s first full-length, Anything Goes, came out later that year,
followed in 2010 by They Call Me Cadillac.
Positive vibes ripple through “How Country Feels,” the sparkling
first single from Houser’s Stoney Creek debut, which he cut with
producer Derek George, a fellow Mississippian Houser’s been wanting
to work with for a decade. “It was the obvious choice for a leadoff,”
Houser says of “How Country Feels.” “It caught my ear the first time I
heard it—like, ‘I wanna hear that again.’”
Austin Cunningham-penned opener “Old Back In The New School” to
understand Moore is all about the things that last, the wild times and the
enduring values making for a way of life worth living.
That will be live life to its fullest, no fear, no looking back, marks
Moore’s intensity. Two strong hands, a back that can shoulder anything,
this is working man’s post-modern American – and that respect is
what binds him to his woman in “That’s How I Know You Love Me.”
Ultimately, she refuses to make him change, and takes what’s there for
what it is, loving him for all its busted glory.
To believe in values that last, to embrace what is enough and know
it’s more than plenty, that is the greatest truth for a man like Moore,
who sees no reason to leave the place he grew up. Beyond the hits, the
gold-certified albums and the momentum of a career hitting its stride,
OFF THE BEATEN PATH is a collection of classic postcards that make
up the ascending “This Kind of Town” and the driving chugger “One
Dirt Road.”
Josh Thompson
When Ronnie Van Zandt told
producer Al Kooper to “turn it
up” at the start of “Sweet Home
Alabama,” it was a moment of sheer
confidence. What Lynyrd Skynyrd
was about to lay down was burning,
powerful stuff, and Van Zandt knew
that the sound needed to be loud
and proud.
It’s that same spirit that led Josh
Thompson to title his first Show
Dog-Universal Music project Turn It Up. It’s a modern, kickin’
country party album, with plenty of swagger, plenty of energy and
plenty of blue-collar, hammer-swingin’, fist-pumpin’ attitude.
Turn It Up is bound to invigorate Thompson’s fans. It’s already got
Thompson and his road-warrior band kicking it into high gear on
the road, where they frequently sell out frenzied clubs and theaters
in their own headlining dates. Even if he finds himself opening arena
or amphitheaters for someone else, the music guarantees that his set
throws down the gauntlet.

Friday April 11th and Saturday April 12th, 8:00pm
Location: The Miller Lite Main Stage-CFCC 411 North Front Street
Tickets: $60
Twenty-seven years ago, a singer everyone called J.B., a
bass-playing future journalism school dropout and a guitarist nicknamed
Panic for his bouts with anxiety went looking for a drummer for their
next gig.
After striking out with the usual suspects around Athens, Georgia, the
three friends made an eleventh-hour call to a high-school band mate of
the guitar player living in Atlanta, thinking he might still have his kit
handy.
A few days later, Todd Nance rolled up to the house at 320 King
Avenue shared by John Bell, Michael Houser and David Schools in an
old, beat-up white Maverick, his drums crammed into the back. After
a night of rehearsing, the new quartet hopped onstage together for the
first time the next day at the old Mad Hatter Ballroom to play a short set
that opened with the Buffalo Springfield classic “For What It’s Worth.”
Widespread Panic was born.
Within the year, Domingo “Sunny” Ortiz, a drummer new in town
from Austin, Texas, began turning up at their regular Monday night
gigs at the Uptown Lounge and never left. As weekly gigs morphed
into regional tours, the band began to forge a sound unto themselves,
a combination of Houser’s unorthodox guitar playing, Bell’s coarse
growl, Nance’s rock-steady drumming, Schools’ lead bass playing, Ortiz’s
multi-textured percussion coupled with a collective commitment to
playing original songs from the outset and a willingness to walk the
improvisational high wire night after night.
Landslide Records came calling and Space Wrangler, Widespread
Panic’s debut album, dropped in September 1988, the first copies of
which were hand-delivered to the band by Col. Bruce Hampton, an
area shaman, bandleader and early mentor. Former Dixie Dreg T Lavitz
manned the keyboards for the band’s self-titled follow-up released on
Capricorn Records in July 1991, but it really wasn’t until John “Jojo”
Hermann – a native New Yorker-turned-Mississippian equally snapped
by the likes of Professor Longhair and Terry Adams - claimed the chair
the following spring that the band felt like a true ensemble. With a new
songwriter, vocalist and worthy onstage foil in Hermann in the fold, the
band’s lineup was set.
Over the next two decades, Widespread Panic released nine more
studio albums and sold more than three million records, building a loyal
following on the road beginning in dingy dive bars across the South and
eventually headlining nearly every major U.S. music festival and selling
out some of the world’s most prestigious venues. No artist has more soldout concerts at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater, and their headlining
appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival set the singleday attendance record. The celebration for their first live album,
Light Fuse, Get Away, drew more than 100,000 fans for a free show in
downtown Athens and is still considered one of the largest CD-release
parties in music history.
By 2002, the band was one of America’s best and most sought-after
rock acts, but rock ‘n roll fairytales inevitably take a tragic turn. Michael
Houser, Panic’s founding guitarist and inscrutable core, developed
pancreatic cancer. The guitarist remained rooted at stage right until
a few weeks before his death, delivering a spine-tingling, tear-jerking
performance for the band’s headlining spot at the inaugural Bonnaroo
Arts & Music Festival. Eight weeks after leaving the road, Houser was
gone, taking with him a unique musical signature that fans affectionately
dubbed The Lingering Lead. An era was over.
At the behest of their late guitarist, the remaining band members
returned to the road, enlisting several friends to share the stage and help
heal the void left by the irreplaceable Houser. It wasn’t until the summer
of 2006 - when John Bell placed a call to an old friend to see if he might
be interested in joining the band - that the wheels were put in motion for
a new chapter in Widespread Panic’s history to begin.
Jimmy Herring was no stranger to Widespread Panic when he got
the call inviting him to join the band. A veteran of the Atlanta music
scene, Jimmy first crossed paths with the band in the late ‘80s as the lead
guitarist for Colonel Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit.
From the first flurry of notes at his very first show with the band – the
opening night of a four-show run at Radio City Music Hall that kicked
off the band’s 2006 fall tour – Herring has re-energized Widespread Panic
in the best way possible: by restoring a signature guitar sound to their
music, returning a sense of balance to their ensemble and enabling the
band to continue to incite, amaze and move people closer to joy.
Nothing gold can stay, and no band understands that lesson better
than Widespread Panic, but with Herring now in his seventh year in the
fold and the band fresh off an ten-month hiatus and ready to roll, there’s
a palpable sense of renewed purpose and commitment and a rejuvenated
enthusiasm within the band.
That vibe – the feeling that anything can and may happen – is back
with Widespread Panic. And it feels good.

“I have enjoyed just about every Azalea Festival since the first one when I caught the bus with my
best friend and went to the parade all by ourselves. I was only 8 years old. I enjoyed all the early
celebrities who were movie stars. I guess my first was Esther Williams. I have attended more and
more events as they have been added. The concerts at Trask were my favorites, especially Debby
Boone and B. J. Thomas. Meeting the Pat Boone family was the highlight of all. Now that I am on
the Parade Committee, I love arriving downtown very early Saturday to see that all celebrities and
queens get on their cars to ride in the parade. The excitement is contagious. I look forward to many
more festivals.”
-Ann Kirby, 2014 Parade Kings & Queens Chair
“Romance blossoms during the North Carolina Festival! Throughout the years, there have
been at least seven marriages between members of the Azalea Festival Queen’s Court and
their cadet escorts.”
-Beth and Greg Bell, 2014 Queen’s Court Chair and Co-Chair
“One of my favorite memories was in 1982 when the musician, Paul Anka came and
performed. We had the Worker's Party after the Concert for all of the festival’s volunteers and
he came & danced with everyone. He kept saying how he enjoyed the Azalea Festival and it
made everyone feel great.”
-Jean Lawler, 2014 North Carolina Azalea Festival Treasurer
“1997 Festival I will never forget. Started raining on Friday night and continued to rain all
day Saturday. Parade did not stop and neither did the street fair. We had to move vendors out of
standing water. We never put a vendor at the foot of Princes Street and Water Street, that year
we did. When high tide came water flooded from the drainage pipes into the food vendor's area.
Health department shut the vendor down. I had to change my clothes 3 times, had 2 pair of tennis
shoes with me. Had to call my daughter to bring me a dry pair. Weather cleared was a beautiful
night for the bands to play for what we used to call the street dance.”
-Hugh McManus, 2014 Parade Reviewing Stand Chair
“It is amazing to see how the Parade has grown over the years. I remember a time when we could
not even fill the parade reviewing stands, you could not give the tickets away. It is so nice that it
has reached a point where not only the Wilmington business and residential community want to
be a part of it but all the branches of the city want to as well.”
-Donna Robbins, 2014 Concerts & Main Stage Chair
“This is my 38 year as a volunteer for the North Carolina Azalea Festival. I have served on the
same committee, the concert committee back stage. What wonderful memories I have from all the
entertainers all these years. I think the one that sticks in my mind the most was Frank Sinatra
the year 1994 when Hank Miller was our president. Frank gave me two dozen long stemmed Red
Roses that I cherish to this day. I also have an autographed picture that Frank did for me in my
presence, a kiss on the hand and let him into his dressing room. Oh such memories. I also have
a copy of all of the Azalea Festival Prints for every year we have had them. The ones that were
done by an artist are singed and numbered. I cherish these also. I look forward to this year and
many years to come. Come volunteer with us. You will be hooked.”
-Shelby Moore, 2014 Entertainment/Hospitality Chair
