philanthropy

Blue Heron won a prize for their float in the July 4th parade.  What prize?  I don't know.  I never make it to the awards ceremony at the Ocracoke Preservation Society Museum.  My mother, a reliable source, told me that Jennifer ("you know how cute she is") immediately donated the cash to the Ocracoke Volunteer Fire Department. 
Yet another reason to book your vacation home on Ocracoke with Blue Heron Realty.  Locally owned and run, cute and generous.

Since I don't have photos of the float (Sorry!), here are some from the Fireman's Ball, a great fundraiser held the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
