The 29th Annual North Carolina Oyster Festival was held this past weekend in Ocean Isle Beach, beside the Museum of Coastal Carolina. Thousands of visitors came back to enjoy the great music, food, and arts and crafts vendors despite the unusually chilly fall temperatures, which hoovered between the low 50's and mid-60's. The sunshine still came out and greeted all the festival-goers.

Sunset Properties had a booth there both days and appreciate all those who stopped by. Our staff handed out colorful koozies and frisbees along with property management information and sales information. Our annual Free Weekend giveaway was a big hit with the chance to also win a Sunset Beach bridge puzzle on the top of every hour. Janet Karper from Ashland, Ohio was drawn as the winner of our Free Weekend at the Beach. She will get the chance to stay for two nights, free of charge, between the months of October - March. Congratulations to Janet and those who will be coming down with her to enjoy her stay.

As per the Brunswick County Chamber's site for the Oyster Festival, next year's event will be held October 16 - 17. It's a good idea to plan a fall trip around the popular two day festival. There's plenty to do and the weather is generally pretty mild. See you next year!
