Milestone

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 it here: http://www.villagecraftsmen.com/news052113.htm

    A little retreat to Ocracoke at lunchtime...I transport myself everyday! Thanks for sharing the island, your life and perspectives.

  10. I'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

    1. The "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.
