10th Annual Miss Oregon Inlet II Kids Fishing Tournament

Oregon Inlet Fishing Center 8770 Oregon Inlet Road, Nags Head, NC

The 10th Annual Miss Oregon Inlet II Kids Fishing Tournament is the boat crew's favorite trip of the season. The boat takes kids aging from 6-14 years old on a half-day fishing charter to catch pigfish, croaker, sea mullet, grey trout, pufferfish, spot and sea bass. After the fishing charter, we have a cookout with hotdogs, watermelon, chips, and of course, ice cream! We have an award ceremony following the cookout where we give awards in two age categories: 6-10 and 11-14. The awards are for most fish, largest fish and first fish! Everyone who participates in the tournament will get a medal, t-shirt, and fishing pole. It is a fun-packed day aboard the Miss Oregon Inlet II! (Cost is $50). Preregistration is required.

Pamela Lassiter Exhibit: Sea and Sand

Dare Arts Center 300 Queen Elizabeth Ave, Manteo, United States

In August the Vault Gallery will feature porcelain pieces by Pamela Lassiter. Pamela's work is inspired by the natural environment of her home on Hatteras Island. The body of work in this exhibition is a reflection of the life and patterns that she sees on the island. The various organic forms and processes develop from studying the oceans movements. Pamela is fascinated by the tide as it ebbs and flows creating dynamic patterns in the sand. These patterns are interpreted through a process of carving and adding coils to wheel thrown and altered or hand built forms.

Sea and Sand will be on display in the Vault Gallery August 2-31, 2024.

​There will be an opening reception on Friday, August 2 from 6pm to 8pm, where visitors can meet Pamela and view her work.The opening reception is during downtown Manteo's First Friday festivities and is free and open to the public.​
