Preston's artistic medals

A medal does not have to be made of metal to be called a medal.

Historically, medals were almost always metal—bronze, silver, gold—so the word itself comes from that tradition. But in modern usage, “medal” refers more to the purpose and form (a wearable, commemorative, or award disk) than to the actual material.

Today you’ll find:

  • sports medals made of plastic or resin

  • children’s award medals made of wood

  • collectible or commemorative medals made of ceramic, acrylic, or even glass

They are still commonly and correctly called medals because the term is tied to their symbolic function as awards, not strictly their composition.

So as long as the object resembles the typical form and serves the purpose of a medal (an award or commemoration), the material doesn’t disqualify it.

Preston has been stepping up of late to create great looking medals for some of our local events. Many thanks to him for all the time and effort he puts in to make things fun for all!!!

Shirley & Janet, along with Janet's sister, took a day off from petanque to travel over to Raleigh to attend The Nutcracker as a Christmas season treat.

Before the evening's presentation, they took a little time to visit the artwork of Danish artist Thomas Dambo who has an installation in Raleigh as well as numerous other place across the nation. Check out the link above if you're interested.

Lots of new players at Miller Park (12/7/2025)

 






















We had quite a turnout for Sunday play in Winston-Salem at Miller Park. Scott brought his granddaughter Mackenzie. Walk-up players included Jay, Sierra, Sidney, and Gray. 

The cold, dreary, and windy day still saw about two dozen players! Of course, the word was out that Preston was cooking hot dogs on the grill, so that might have propted a few people to come and share food contributions with the group.

Couldn't have been better--even with the weather!
