HOMETOWN NEWS
After weeks of frenetic work - and under a tight veil of secrecy - the home built by a Campobello-based company for the popular ABC television show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” was delivered last week and the recipients revealed.
The custom-built home made by Blue Ridge Log Cabins for the show is destined to serve as the new Jubilee House in Fayetteville, N.C., a shelter for displaced women veterans that until last week resided in a small, two-bedroom home in disrepair.
The shelter was founded by Barbara Summey Marshall, a 15-year Navy veteran and former chaplain who learned of the new home during the signature greeting by show host Ty Pennington and crew members last Thursday morning.
A tearful Marshall thanked the crew and said the project would make a life-changing difference in the lives of dozens of women veterans and their families.
The custom-designed and built home left Spartanburg County last Wednesday amid a rousing send-off by Blue Ridge Log Cabins employees who helped with the project. The home and many of the components and materials needed for finishing left the company’s state-of-the-art facility on more than a dozen trucks and trailers and stopped briefly in Columbia where state officials praised the project and company.

For the rest of the story, read this week’s Inman Times.
