Ready for an Outer Banks Weekend, 2/17/2023

I Need To Know
How did my black shirt become a hair magnet? I wore it for years and never had a problem. Next thing I know the molecular structure changes and it becomes an attractant to all things hairy. I pull it out of the dryer and it's covered with hair. You'd think Bigfoot wore it to bed. I'm left to clean it by hand. I look like a gorilla pulling lice off his partner.
 
Pioneer Theater
The rumor is true. The Pioneer is staying put. It's good to hear the tradition continues.
 
Edenton
Edenton is a U.S. Most Beautiful Small Town? Who knew? It's time to get in the car and go find out.
 
Things To Do
Notice regarding Pea Island Preservation Society
 
2/24-25/2023
The 3rd Annual Hatteras Village Waterfowl Festival
Head to Hatteras to learn about the local waterfowl.

March 24-26, 2023
OBX Taste of the Beach
Here's a great opportunity to experience our local restaurants.
 
No Happy Hour?
I had heard something about there being no Happy Hours on the Outer Banks and wasn't sure if it was true. Not only is it true, it's a state-wide law. But that could change.
 
Kitchen Hack
Got leftover pizza? Don't nuke it. That just gives you a hot, soggy piece of pizza. Take the extra time and reheat it in a skillet on the stove. Use low heat and wait until the cheese warms-up. Your reward will be a warm, crispy crust to enjoy.
 
Best Wishes,
John Van Lunen
