Here is a wonderful Fall picture of the Wooden Boat Show that is held in Southport North Carolina once a year. This is a show where many craftsmen build a wooden boat that is tried and proven in the waters around the area in the Cape Fear River, The Intra-Coastal Waterway or the Atlantic Ocean.
Many of the carpenters, have a dream and envision the building of their dream boat. They have a passion for doing something special that will be one of the most memorable thing that they would ever do.
There are so many wonderful things that happen in this unique fishing village of Southport...
We have many movies that have been filmed here and I suspect that many more will be also.
To name a few:
Crimes of the Heart
The Wedding
Matlock
I know what you Did Last Summer
Summer Pitch
Dawson's Creek
Safe Haven
Martha and Mary
There are so many more filmings that I will have done here and I will get you a further list of the performances that have been filmed here.
There is so much more going on here. WE do have the Atlantic Ocean....with it's wonderful sandy beaches, hot sun, great shelling, fishing, swimming, skiing and all of the other wonderful things that you can do when you come to the shore.
The BEST thing that happens to Southport is the Forth of July Festival. This is a celebration of the forth of July and is the first official Parade in the state of North Carolina. This is the time when about 60,000 folks come to Southport and the surrounding area of Oak Island come to celebrate the Day of Independence for our Wonderful United States. WE have an are that is set up with booths with great gifts that they have made and want folks to share..
Then we have the parade with about 140 floats that parade the streets of the town with thousands of people sitting and standing on the side lines waiting for the next float.
Then we go to our homes and enjoy a wonderful spread of ham, potato salad, baked beans, salad, rolls, bbq, slaw, pimento cheeze, melon, chocolate cake, jello, corn, tomatoes, cucumber, and so much more.
I love this place I call home. I have lived most of my life here and my husband was born and raised her.
Come and see all that we have to share..
