| 2015 Mocksville Bed Race |
While visions of sugarplums...or maybe Village People...no, wait, was that a reindeer or a minion....err....while visions of rolling beds dance in our heads? It might sound strange, but one of the newer holiday traditions of Davie County includes the "Twas the Night Before Bed Race" in downtown Mocksville. The 2015 bed race is scheduled to start Friday, November 20 at 6:00 p.m. Click

The bed race promises loads of fun under the Christmas lights twinkling on the Norman Rockwell type atmosphere in the cozy Piedmont town in Davie County, North Carolina. It will be a bit less bright this year as the town had to bid farewell to two of the four beloved, majestic oak trees at the square; however, the remaining two oaks will shine brightly above the twinkling eyes of spectators this Christmas season.

Of course, there must be speculation about what we will see this year and which teams might seek to redeem themselves from being spanked by other teams from years past. Perhaps a face-off between WXII news teams? Maybe a frozen Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and friends? Maybe a down and dirty rivalry between Davie High School and DCCC? The teams tend to go all out to entertain with antics and unusual costumes.

Each team consists of five members at least 15 years old: four runners and one lying or sitting in the bed. Two teams face off and vie for the fastest time starting at the oak trees and running down about a block and then making a u-turn and back up again to the starting point. Faster teams face off in future rounds until a winner is determined. The event is scheduled to run until 10:00 p.m.
