The Farmington Community Association has inducted two new board members.
“We couldn’t be prouder to add Molly Myers and Logan Hendricks to our board. They represent the next generation of leadership that will guide The Farmington Center into the future,” said Allison Brown, board president.
The association is the non-profit organization that operates the 67-acre complex of The Farmington Center (TFC).
Myers is a professional real estate agent and team leader of Extraordinary Homes Team & Keller Williams Realty, serving on the Agent Leadership Council since 2020 and winning the Keller Williams Realty Educator of the Year Award in 2023. A native of Randolph County, she moved to Davie County in 2023 after buying her first home in Downtown Mocksville.
Myers graduated from High Point University in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in communications and marketing after completing Randolph County’s Early College High School program in 2012.
“Serving on the board presents an opportunity to help in a hands-on way and be a representative of the community I love so much,” Myers said. “I am eager to contribute my skills in problem-solving, networking, marketing and strategic planning to ensure the community center grows as a cornerstone of life in Davie County.”
A Davie County native, Hendricks grew up just down the road from The Farmington Center.
An entrepreneur, he is the owner and operator of LH Painting, which is how he started a relationship with TFC. When the Bangin’ Chainz disc golf store relocated to TFC, Hendricks worked on refurbishing the 88-year-old building that housed the agriculture students when TFC operated as a Davie County School in the early 1900s.
He started playing at the pickleball courts and met the regulars who play at the Davie Disc Golf Course.
Building on the relationships he’s forged in these recreational sports and his love of the outdoors, Hendricks wants to build and strengthen the bonds between the people who share the recreational amenities at TFC. “Growing up with my mom working with several agencies in the community, I was part of the philanthropic events supporting those organizations and understand the importance of working for the common good,” he said.
TFC executive director Melanie Cook stated: “The Farmington Center is the place ‘where neighbors celebrate, connect, adventure, and give.’ As executive director for the past 10 years, I rely heavily on our board of directors to help fulfill our nonprofit mission.
“I have watched the growth of our center under the leadership of the board members we have been blessed with. They give of their time, wisdom, expertise, and perspectives to help fulfill the mission, while managing challenges and pressing forward with innovative ideas. I am delighted to welcome Molly and Logan to this legacy of leadership that has kept Farmington a vital part of the community for the past 53 years.”
The original grounds opened in 1921 as a Davie County school, operating until 1970. In 1971, the county deeded the property to the newly created Farmington Community Association. Land deeded to FCA in 2006 was developed into the Nature Park, enlarging the complex to 67 acres, the largest recreational center in the county.
Governed by an elected board of directors, the center is certified on the National Registry of Historic Places and hosts education programs, outdoor recreation sites, along with four venues for rental.
The Nature Park housing the Davie Disc Golf Course and trails for hiking and mountain biking, a walking circuit, pickleball courts, and playground is open daily, dawn to dusk, at no cost to visitors. The board continually seeks sustainability and ways to leverage the amenities of the complex for the betterment of the community and the county, Cook said.
Funding partners of FCA include: Bermuda Run Tourism Development Authority, Davie Community Foundation, Davie Chamber of Commerce, Davie Recreation & Parks, and Mocksville Tourism Development Authority.
