Kelly's Parade

Uncle Jack can't remember the last time he was in town for Kelly's St. Patrick's Day parade but it must have been at least 20 years ago which would have made it  the first or second one.  He never would have guessed then that it would grow from such humble beginnings (two or three fire trucks and Kelly riding in a green convertible) into the extravaganza he watched in awe as it rumbled down the beach road yesterday afternoon. As promised he took some pictures but the Sony's battery went dead very early on so he missed some great photo ops later on.  The Outer Banks Voice's crack photographer was better prepared as you can see by going to http://outerbanksvoice.com/2011/03/20/photos-st-patricks-parade-is-a-grand-celebration/#more-29311  The whole thing was a hoot and he thanks Mike Kelly for making it all possible.

South Nags Head on Dwellable

Part of the Town of Duck's bloodhound investigative unit.  Why does the Town of Duck have a bloodhound investigative unit?  Presumably because they have more money than they know what to do with, sort of like Dare County.

Uncle Jack believes this may have been part of the crack South Nags Head White Trash Drill Team but he's not sure.

Here they are from the front.  A very impressive organization, ready to defend South Nags Head from all intruders with the possible exception of Mother Nature.

A harbinger of a big bash to come this summer;  Nags Head's 50th Birthday Party. Stay tuned.
