Memorial Weekend was a very busy weekend on Ocracoke. Lots of people coming and going. Houses to clean. Maintenance issues to deal with. The local restaurants and other businesses were crowded. There was lots of traffic of all kinds moving about. People driving, biking and walking...even in the rain on Saturday morning.

The Third Annual Ocracoke Firemen's Ball was held on Saturday and from what I heard and saw it was a whopping success. The BBQ dinner was delicious and they sold out within a couple of hours. Many of the auction items sold at well above estimated value. The Community Center was packed for the dance and everyone had a great time.

The Ocracoke School PTA Spring Fling was also a success. The kids had a really good time. I have heard a lot of comments on the slide. I wish I had some pictures of either event but I had to work all day...from 9am to 9pm. Both jobs were very busy.

Our tireless housekeeping staff worked very hard this weekend cleaning houses but that wasn't enough for them. When they were done with the rental houses they decided to clean the windows in the apartment they stay in. They are very thorough...even climbing onto the roof to do the outside of the windows. Brave if you ask me.
