Take a Tour With Me Through The Outer Banks Sea Food and Craft Festival

Okay, I'm a little late with this @natureofbeing but please forgive me for I have had a lot on my plate here lately. I'm finally getting around to posting about the craft festival that I told you about that reminded me of you while I was there. But first, let's warm up with a few more puppy pics! :)

Okay, that's enough...

Alright, last one I promise!.....for now

My wife and I recently ventured out to Kill Devil Hills which is a small town in Dare County in North Carolina, actually on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The whole purpose of the trip was to attend a sea food and crafts festival near the beach that my wife wanted to go to.

This was by far the largest festival that I have ever been to. It was so large, you would have had to been several stories up in the air to have taken a photo of the entire grounds. It was divided up in to two sections, one section for food, music and adult beverages and the other was for arts and crafts. The picture above is of the entrance to the food side. Straight ahead at 12 O'clock is where a band was set up with a dance area, at approximately 1300 hours in the photo is a rock wall climbing area which I did not partake in. Under the two tents to the right were bunches of different sea foods for purchase. Everything from Clam chowder to coconut shrimp was available. Just across the way was beer and wine vendors, which I did partake in by the way.

On the food side you had to purchase "Sea Bucks" if you wanted to buy anything in that area. Regular currency was not accepted for some reason. The only reason I can think of is that they didn't want to have to worry about messing with change??? The thing about it though is, they were non-refundable and you couldn't spend them on the crafts side so....
We bought 20 dollars worth and had extra left over by the time we started to venture towards the crafts side. We ended up using it on a bottle of water and then gave the last couple of sea bucks to some lady walking by.

Lobster mac and cheese / Shrimp clam chowder

Thought about you here @rebeccaryan lol I don't even have to say anything....

I was blessed with nice grass that day (the kind that you cut with a lawnmower @rebeccaryan )and I know that sounds odd but it's the truth! Ya see I have bad feet and can't walk very far without extreme pain and whatever type of grass was at this place was really comfy to my feetsies!

Okay, now this was a first for me so don't think bad of North Carolinian's for this because I have NEVER heard of this before.

Yes that says MULLET TOSS on the sign! I mean, what the hell could this be all about?

Well, it's about throwing dead fish through the air Bandit! What else did you think it would be, jeez?!

The goal is to see how far you can throw your dead ass fish. Clearly this lady is enjoying herself and she didn't do all that bad actually. There was a man standing down the field with flags marking each contestants distance and returning the carcass back to the firing line :/

ACTION SHOT

Here was a great place to sit and enjoy the breeze from the ocean and enjoy a glass of wine or three.

Now that we've made it over to the other side, here comes all of the arts and craft photo's. This type of thing is normally not my cup of tea but it seemed like everywhere I looked, I saw something that reminded me of either steemit or someone I know on steemit. I also have a new found appreciation for hand made things no matter what they are, just as long as someone put their emotion and creativity in to it.

I fell in love with all of the exotic wooden crafts that were there! There were some really nice pieces with some really nice price tags attached!

I thought this was cool

This was another piece that I thought was interesting...

steemit....steemit

This was a fun bridge to drive across late at night. As long as there's no cars around, you can hammer down and get up on her a lil bit because there's no place for the fuzz to hide at on the bridge :) Not that I done anything like that.... That would be very irresponsible for a retired officer to do, now wouldn't it?

I like these...Quack Quack

Of course the wife loved this stuff.... Me, not so much but gotta go with the flow.

Cool painting a kid created

I loved this!

HMMM....SEE WHAT I MEANT ABOUT SEEING STEEMIT EVERYWHERE I LOOKED?!

I thought of @natureofbeing when I saw this piece and even told my wife about her.

I like this one

I really like this painting even though it's dark and gloomy, I still like it.

Textured/3D and you can see through it

I just like how it's see through so the background will be the same color as your wall.

They even had candles for crying out loud lol!

Well, I hope you guy's that made it to the end have enough data left if you used your cell phones lol. Sorry about all the pictures, I can get a lil carried away and I didn't even upload all of them. I hope you enjoyed the tour as much as we did. Sorry again @natureofbeing for the delay in posting this. I hope you guys have a great day!
