Not more than an hour’s drive north on Highway 17, you will find the turn into the driveway to park and tour the famous Battleship U. S. S. North Carolina. Attendance at this tourist attraction has been high all summer long, even in the negative economy. July had approximately 40,000 people on board what is the most decorated American battleship of WWII. See online at www.battleshipnc.com for events, hours, and other details – even Halloween events!

The year is made even more special with the North Carolina Oyster Festival, held in Ocean Isle Beach. Even if seafood is low on your preference list, you will love Brunswick County’s tribute to the local culture of seafood: shucking contest, stew-off cooking competition, plenty of music, food, and crafts. A great place to start your holiday gift shopping, too. Information at www.brunswickcountychamber.org.

Tips include practicing good hygiene and staying home if sick. Let’s all stay healthy this year!
