Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Festival

Welcome Again this year, we had many warm days in December and January which made it seem like spring was here. However, the St. Patrick’s Festival is still our official first sign of spring in Emerald Isle Art Schools, Mayor and it is a welcome Emerald Isle sign. Spring time in Emerald Isle is great and the best way to get started is at the St.Patrick’s Festival. As always there are lots of fun things to do and an additional item this year is the Transportation Impact #43 Richard Petty Motorsports NASCAR race car. Transportation Impact’s Ford Fusion made its NASCAR debut at last year’s Pocono 400! We expect some of the Richard petty family to be there and there will be chances to win some Richard petty memorabilia.

There will be fun things to do for everyone. It is a great time to run into friends that you have not seen during the winter months and make new friends.The festival will take place at its usual location, Emerald Plantation Shopping Center (8700 Emerald Drive) on March 16 from 9am-6pm.

There will be a wide variety of music throughout the day. The Port City Pipes and Drums will be at the festival, as well as My Three Kilts, Big Drink, Heritage, Spare Change, The Lizzy Ross Band, Pure T Mommicked, Selah Dubb and others. Check out www.emeraldislestpatricksfestival.com for a full schedule. As always there will be plenty of food, beer garden, lots of arts and crafts, amusement rides, petting zoo and my favorite, the Little Mr. and Ms. Leprechaun contest.

The Leprechaun contest has four categories; two for boys (ages 2-3 and 4-5) and two for girls (ages 2-3 and 4-5). Register in advance for the Leprechaun contest by noon on March 15. A fire truck, ambulance, and police vehicle will be on display with members from each department to explain the equipment on display. This is a great opportunity for youngsters to see first hand the equipment and individuals available to help them when they need it.

If you have been before, you know you don’t want to miss it. If you haven’t been, come on out and try it. There is truly something for all ages. I look forward to seeing you there.

Going Green In Emerald Isle

Kevin Geraghty photo

For more than 20 years the Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Festival has been the official sign of spring along the Crystal Coast, bringing throngs of visitors to the small beachfront town to celebrate with music, food, rides and plenty of familyoriented fun. Planned from 9am-6pm on Saturday, March 16, the event is free to attend.

According to Alesia Sanderson with Emerald Isle Parks & Recreation, last year’s installment saw 25,000 visitors, well above the average of 18,000, and she said they are expecting to see a similar number this year.

“We’re especially excited to have the Transportation Impact No. 43 Ford Fusion for the 2013 Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Festival. The Richard Petty Foundation will also be at the event,” said Sanderson.

Her sentiments were shared by Emerald Isle Mayor Art Schools, “In conjunction with the car, which will be on display for all to enjoy, we are pleased to announce that representatives from the

Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Festival

Petty Family Foundation (PFF) will also join us for the first time,” said Schools.

“Founded by racing legend Richard “The King” Petty and his family, the Petty Family Foundation is a nonprofit organization built upon the same values that many in our community hold dear – family values, integrity and compassion for others. The organization’s philanthropy has touched the lives of men, women and children throughout our state and is viewed in the highest regard by those in and around the NASCAR community.

“For these reasons and many more, we are delighted to have them in attendance to share its humanitarian vision with our community.”

With more than 75 arts and crafts vendors, food, clowns, amusement rides and static displays, the festival provides the perfect platform for a day of family fun. Sift for artifacts with the 5 Star Gem Mining Company, browse through the various vendors or learn about donkeys with the Oak Grove Stables Petting Zoo. Of course guests are welcome to sit back (cont.on page 8)

For The Wee Ones For the Wee Little Leprechauns

In Emerald Isle, celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is nothing short of a family affair. Sure, there’s live music, a beer tent and karaoke at the annual celebration – but there is plenty for the youngsters to dig into as well.

Carnival rides, face painting, games and special booths aimed at the younger members of the family are par for the course at the Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Festival.

Always a favorite, entertainment on the Gold Stage kicks off at 11am by putting the youngsters up front and center with the Little Mr. and Miss Leprechaun Contest. Both boys and girls ages 2-3 and 4-5 will be judged on the originality and creativity of their costume and overall stage presentation. Expect colorful (well, green) costumes, giggly youngsters and plenty more to bring a smile to faces young and old during this festival highlight.

16 Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Festival

Coming Home to Emerald Isle People looking for a modern-day beach town with old-fashioned family values have found their home on Emerald Isle. Located on the western end of Bogue Banks, its warm hospitality and hometown charm have made the town a family vacation tradition for generation after generation.

Originally settled by nomadic Native Americans and whalers, the area known as Emerald Isle was largely uninhabited until the 1950s, when it was purchased by a group of developers for what now seems like an unbelievably small amount of money. While contemplating their investment, the developers hired a consultant who was flown over the area for a visual survey.

Viewing the lush green maritime forest set against the sparkling blue-greens of the Atlantic Ocean, he suggested “Emerald Isle.”

From that suggestion came the annual celebration of the town’s namesake each year with the St. Patrick’s Festival in March.

Vacation attractions include miniature golf, movies, fishing, bike paths that span the town, natural areas such as Emerald Woods park and of course, swimming, sunning, sandcastle building and sensational shopping and dining.

Across the bridge from Emerald Isle on the mainland, charming surprises await in the communities of Cape Carteret and Cedar Point. These amiable areas offer attractive sound-side living and a treasure trove of antique shops and dining, as well as major shopping venues.

18 Emerald Isle St. Patrick’s Festival

Fort Macon State Park

Celebrating the 150th anniversary of its bombardment with special events in April, there has never been a better time to get in touch with the area’s Civil War history, much of which is protected and preserved within the walls of Fort Macon, the fivesided Civil War fortress which today stands as proudly today as it did in the 1800s.

Garrisoned in 1834 and found on the opposite end of Bogue Banks, Fort Macon was seized from Union forces by the Confederate army at the start of the Civil War. But in 1862, Union forces recaptured the oceanside fortress, giving the North control of the entire NC coast.

Interestingly enough, Gen. Robert E. Lee was stationed at Fort Macon as a young Army officer. The fort’s captivating history, impressive restoration and a calendar of special programs, including Civil War reenactments, make Fort Macon State Park one of North Carolina’s most visited state parks.

The fort is the focal point of Fort Macon State Park, which encompasses 385 acres of pristine beach, dunes and maritime forest just east of Atlantic Beach. At the park’s beach access, visitors can fish from rock jetties or park at the bathhouse area for swimming and summer concessions. The park opens daily at 8am and closes at sunset. Fort hours are 9am5:30pm daily. Details: 252-726-3775.
