For our readers' information, today marks Village Craftsmen's 3,000th blog post. This all started more than nine years ago, on March 3, 2004.
We hope you enjoy reading about Ocracoke culture and traditions, learning tidbits of island history, reading announcements of local events, and seeing photographs of our village, our community, and our island.We enjoy sharing our island with you.
And we hope you keep reading as we continue our blog.
This month's Ocracoke Newsletter is a tribute to a wonderful man who did
much for Ocracoke Island, Marvin Wyche Howard (1897-1969). You can read

A little retreat to Ocracoke at lunchtime...I transport myself everyday! Thanks for sharing the island, your life and perspectives.
ReplyDeleteI'm not kidding or being sarcastic; I hang on every word, whether you think they're worthy of that or not. I love Ocracoke and the surrounding area; as a musician... I need to figure out a way to get some gigs (shows) down on the island so I can visit more than once a year. Room, board and a smattering of adult libations should about cover it; and maybe a little gas money. :-D
ReplyDeleteEnough to fill a book!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Bringing a friend with us when we come to august. an ocracoke virgin ;) LOLOL

There are many benefits from reading your blog. Besides keeping Ocracoke Island in my thoughts, NC Mainlander always learns something unique about this special place. Philip, you always keep us wanting more and you have been such a good sport! Thanks X 3,000!

From Debbie Leonard: Am I too late to comment? I also read your blog early in the morning; it's one of the first things I do each day! Thanks for writing!
ReplyDeleteApart from blogging, how go the porch talks? Still hosting those?
ReplyDeleteThe "Let's Chat" hour on the porch was fun, but it was right in the middle of my day, so I don't think I'm going to offer that this season.
