Scotty McCreery

Any American Idol fans out there? You love Scotty McCreery, don’t you? Country singers seem to do well on Idol.

If you’re not familiar with Scotty, he’s an 18 year country singer from North Carolina who recently won the American Idol signing competition. So, overnight, he’s become a super star with hit country songs traveling around the country doing shows. Pretty amazing at any age, but definitely great for an 18 year old. Hats off to Scotty for his success.

One of the nice things about McCreery is that despite is quick success, he still seems very grounded and down-to-earth. Last week he had an interview with Fox News, and we were pleasantly surprised to hear how much he loves the Outer Banks!

Scotty is from NC, and he’s been vacationing on the OBX since he was a little boy, so he knows the beach inside and out. During the interview, he was talking about how much he loves to get back to the Outer Banks when he needs to relax and de-stress…see, celebs are just like you and me. :)

McCreery shared some great Outer Banks  tips during the interview – it’s clear he knows the OBX well. So we figured we’d pass on Scotty’s OBX tips to y’all.

  1. Stack ‘em High is a great spot for huge chocolate chip pancakes.
  2. Pizzazz Pizza is a fantastic choice for an OBX pie.
  3. Jockey’s Ridge is a great spot to see the OBX sights from above. (editors note: one of the best spots for an OBX sunset!)
  4. Don’t be afraid to try hang gliding from Jockey’s Ridge! Kitty Hawk Kites will hook you up… literally.
  5. Best OBX spot to relax? The beach and the ocean, of course!
  6. Don’t forget your fishing pole.
  7. The Outer Banks is the perfect spot to bring the extended family back together….all you need is “family and a couple beach towels.”

Thanks for the great advice Scotty! Please look us up next time you’re heading to the beach…we’d love to help you find the perfect vacation home! :)

2011 Outer Banks Hang Gliding Spectacular

2011 Hang Gliding Spectacular

2011 Hang Gliding Spectacular

There are a bunch of great events on the Outer Banks this weekend. In addition to the Grand Opening for the new Jenette’s Pier, Kitty Hawk Kites is hosting their annual Hang Gliding Spectacular – this year is the 39th year of the Hang Gliding Spectacular!

The weather should be great with sun and 70 degree temps, and Jockey’s Ridge promises to be full of some amazing gliders pulling some amazing tricks. Great reason to get outside and enjoy the day.

As described on the Kitty Hawk Kites website:

The Hang Gliding Spectacular and Air Games is a true example of what hang gliding is all about, fun! Originally named the 1st Annual Tactile Meet, the Spectacular has endured over 30 years of continuous years of fun flying, good times and the creation of life long friends. The competition is scheduled each year during the third week of May. Over 60 competitors from all over will travel to Kitty Hawk Kites on the Outer Banks of coastal North Carolina to fly, party and meet old and new friends!

Dune Competition
The fun starts out with three days of dune competition where the pilots try to round pylons and spot land in the center of the target for points. Pilots will often compete several inches off of the ground before setting up for the landing making the event very exciting. We guarantee you will see some interesting flights and landings!

Aero Towing Competition
After two days of battling it out on the dunes everyone moves to the Kitty Hawk Kites Flight Park at Currituck County Airport for two days of aero towing competition. The event usually includes a duration and altitude contest mixed in with a bean-bag bomb drop contest. The contest ends with a spot landing task which is always fun to watch! They do change the tasks according to the conditions which makes it fun for everyone! During the aero towing competition there will be seminars, hang glider demo’s and the annual induction of a hang gliding pioneer into the Rogallo hall of fame. The day ends with a Bar-B-Q dinner catered by a local restaurant that knows how to do it right!

Woody Jones Memorial Street Dance
Another fun event is the Woody Jones Memorial Street Dance. Here everyone gathers outside of Kitty Hawk Kites main store in Nags Head for a fun night of drinking (BYOB) laughing and dancing with the band. This is truly a historical event that shouldn’t be missed.

Outer Banks: Fly Into Spring & Easter Eggstravaganza

Fly Into Spring & Easter Eggstravaganza
April 22nd & 23rd, 2011

Outer Banks Kites at Jockey's Ridge

Outer Banks Kites at Jockey's Ridge

Did you know April is National Kite Month? Pretty sweet, right? Who doesn’t love to fly a kite? And the Outer Banks is pretty much the king of kite-flying destinations…just ask the Wright Brothers.

To celebrate National Kite Month, Kitty Hawk Kites kicks off spring with the annual “Fly Into Spring and Easter Eggstravaganza” event! This annual spring event will be held on April 22nd and 23rd from 10am to 4pm at Jockey Ridge State Park…a perfect spot for some windy windyness.

  • The Kite Festival is a free event and is open to the public.
  • On Friday and Saturday, spectators can enjoy large show kites on Jockey’s Ridge, including animal kites over 50′ in size!
  • Kitty Hawk Kites is offering free stunt and power kite lessons throughout the day on the dune. Just find a staff member and they will direct you to the proper area/person. Learn to fly dual line stunt kites and power kites!
  • Spectators will also have the opportunity to see kites of various shapes, styles, sizes, and colors decorate the sky throughout the day.

In addition to the festivities at Jockey’s Ridge, the Kitty Hawk Kites store in Nags Head (directly across from Jockey’s Ridge) will host the Easter Egg Hunt which will ONLY be on Saturday, the 23rd, from 11am to 1pm! Easter Eggstravaganza is the LARGEST Easter Egg Hunt on the Outer Banks! The Easter Bunny will be at Kitty Hawk Kites for photo opportunities and over 2000 plastic eggs will be hidden for egg hunts, which will begin at 11am. Several hunts will be held from 11am to 1pm.

Another Wind Turbine Proposal on the Outer Banks

Outer Banks Brew Station - Wind Spill, No Damage

Outer Banks Brew Station - Wind Spill, No Damage

The wind on the Outer Banks is pretty relentless. A continuous stream of wind flows through the OBX, some days stronger than others, and it shifts directions, but almost always there. The Wright Brothers chose the Outer Banks wisely.

It almost seems like a natural fit for wind power to be generated by the endless breeze. But can a 500 foot wind turbine be considered a “natural fit?”

We’ve mentioned the quest for OBX wind power in previous posts.  Up to this point, those wind projects have run aground for various reasons, but a new project is in the works. The Virginia Pilot is reporting that another attempt at an alternative source of energy is making headway.

An experimental wind machine that could reach 500 feet into the Outer Banks skyline will be the subject of a public hearing April 18. Gamesa Energy and Northrop Grumman have partnered for plans to build a one turbine control group near Skyco on Roanoke Island. The turbine is part of a broader plan, aimed to perfect offshore wind-energy generators. Plans are also in the works to build an additional experimental turbine somewhere off the coast.

In a presentation last month, Gamesa representative Todd Hopper said that Skyco is the ideal place for the project’s land-based turbine because of its proximity to water and isolation from development. He asked Dare County commissioners to consider amending zoning laws to accommodate the project.

The news comes as no surprise to Dare County, as there have been wind turbines put in at Jockeys Ridge State Park and the Outer Banks Brewing Station,  as well as previous plans to build a wind farm along the Outer Banks by Duke Power last year.

Gamesa intends to sell the electricity generated by the wind turbine to recover costs of the design and building costs. With costs of $20 million, the company aims to install the turbine next year.

What do you think? Are these wind turbines productive “gentle giants” or do they take away the gorgeous OBX views?

 

Tis the Season – Holiday Fun on the Outer Banks

Outer Banks Kites & Lights

Outer Banks Kites & Lights

I’m not sure how this snuck up on us so quickly, but guess what?  It’s the holiday season!  Thanksgiving is long gone, and Christmas is fast approaching.  See ya later 2010!

Seems like a good time to run through some of the holiday fun that can be found on the Outer Banks.

While the OBX is best known for beaches and summer fun, there’s plenty to offer during the holiday season as well.

We’ll start with a few of my fav’s that tend to fly under the radar.

1. The holiday boat parade in Colington Harbor.  This one is definitely under the radar.  I think there were a total of 10 people there last year…including the 6 with me, but it’s a blast.  There’s something special about watching a sailboat with Christmas lights.  Colington is tucked away on the West side of Kill Devil Hills…take a right at the Monument and head straight until you hit the guard gate, welcome to Colington Harbor.  I can’t find the date for this year, but you may be able to get more info on this site.

2. Kites with Lights at Jockey’s Ridge, hosted by Kitty Hawk Kites.  Darn!  I just realized we missed this one.  I guess they moved it to Thanksgiving weekend this year.  Shoot, but I’m including it here anyway so we can all be reminded to mark our calendars for next year…plus, I like this video.  Kites and lights are a great combo!  :)

3.  Ahhhh…last but definitely not least, my fav; the famed Outer Banks Christmas House.   The Paulos family has gone all out with Christmas decorations for years, and they invite young and old to take in the spectacle.

The house/light display was voted number one in America in 2005 on the Today Show, and it’s been featured on HGTV!  Who knew?!  Local celebs right here on the OBX!

Feel free to park your car and wander around the yard to get the full effect and boost your holiday spirit.  A night viewing is optimal to get the full effect of the lights.

The time and effort this family puts into their decorations is astounding.

Here’s their FaceBook page if you want some more info or want share your love of their efforts.

Directions:
The house is located in Kill Devil Hills near the Nags Head Woods entrance

Heading South on Rt. 158 into Kill Devil Hills
1. Proceed to light at Ocean Acres Dr. (opposite MacDonald’s)
2. Turn right at Ocean Acres Dr.
3. The road will change from paved to gravel as you go up a hill. Just over the top of the hill you will find the Poulos home.

And for some of the more traditional (and “on the beaten path”) options…

December 11
Christmas Past at Island Farm
5 p.m. – 8 p.m. In celebration of Christmas Past at Island Farm, bring your family to learn how Roanoke Island families celebrated Christmas a century and a half ago. Many of the holiday traditions we enjoy today began in the 19th century. A special event at Island Farm on Roanoke Island will bring them to life, 1850s style.

When Adam Etheridge and his family lived on the farm on the island’s North End, there was no electricity. Candles were placed on a freshly cut tree, and their glow made the season bright. The men celebrated by shooting off muskets. Children sang carols and ate cookies while their elders sipped hot mulled wine. It was a time for all families, black and white, to gather with their relatives and to enjoy time away from work. On Dec. 11, Island Farm will host visitors on a guided candlelight tour representing an 1850s Southern Christmas. Gather around a bonfire while muskets are fired to ring in the season. Warm yourself by a crackling fire as you sip a cup of hot wassail, and learn how Christmas traditions began.

The farmhouse will be decorated for the holidays, with flickering wax candles illuminating the Christmas tree. Carolers will sing Yuletide favorites. And costumed interpreters will present vignettes of island life, including the perspective of those who were enslaved.

“Christmas Past at Island Farm is designed to be fun, festive, and educational,” said Jonathan Failor, farm manager. “Why do we decorate trees at Christmas and hang garland on the mantel? How did the tradition of feasting begin? We hope families will make this event a tradition in the years to come.” Tickets are $10 per person and may be purchased on the day of the event. Children aged 5 and under are admitted free. Admission is paid at the door, beginning at 5 pm on the day of the event, Saturday, Dec. 11. The farm will close at 8 pm. Island Farm is open weekdays through Nov. 30 for the 2010 season. The Christmas Past celebration is the last event of the year; look for more special events in the spring. For more information, contact Island Farm, 252-473-6500, email:islandfarm252@gmail.com, or visit the website, theislandfarm.com

Wall St. Journal Focuses on the Outer Banks

Outer Banks Sunset

Outer Banks Sunset

In the Life & Style section of the Wall St. Journal, reporter Bob Davis recently highlighted Duck, NC on the Outer Banks…. “where the sea is mild and the breeze is stiff.”  Davis covers what to do, where to stay, and where to eat along the OBX.

Here’s a quick synopsis of the article:

What to do:

  • Lounge on the remarkably uncrowded Atlantic Ocean beaches of the Outer Banks, a chain of barrier islands. The sand is fine and the water temperature is mild.
  • Currituck Sound, on the other side of Duck, is the place to jet-ski or kayak.
  • History abounds:
    • Kitty Hawk, 10 miles away, is where the Wright brothers made their storied first controlled, powered flight in 1903.  Wright National Memorial has a full-size model of the biplane they flew.
    • Another historic attraction is the Roanoke colony, where British colonists first landed in 1585 and endured a few scant years. Their remains weren’t found, giving rise to tales of a “lost” colony. The national park on the site of the colonists’ Fort Raleigh is a lovely forested area.
    • The consistent winds are ideal Kite flying on the beach; Duck is filled with stores that sell all manner of kites.
    • Nearby, on Highway 158, is Jockey’s Ridge State Park, whose 100-foot-tall sand dunes give a better sense of what attracted Orville and Wilbur to the area: It’s a place where glider experiments could end in a soft landing. Instructors offer $99-an-hour hang-gliding lessons.
    • It will cost you nothing to stroll along Duck’s boardwalk, which juts over the sound.
    • Take a drive along the roads of Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, 30 miles from Duck, a marshland where black bears lurk and cross the road at sunset.

Where to Stay: Prices for one-week rentals of three-bedroom homes start at about $1,500 in Duck and nearby Southern Shore, both of which have thick tree cover. Kitty Hawk and Kill Devil Hills lack much shade, but rentals there are cheaper.

Where to eat: There are lots of restaurants with great views of the water.

  • To eat well, try The Blue Point Bar & Grill.  It offers a gorgeous view of the sound. Try the flavorful celery soup for $7. Catfish fried in cornmeal with zucchini slaw on the side will set you back $25.
  • The Roadside Raw Bar & Grill, near Duck’s town square, lacks the view but has fine fare and live music most nights.
  • The Sanderling Inn’s Lifesaving Station restaurant, in a restored 1899 sea-rescue building, is more casual and less costly than the inn’s other restaurants. A terrific chowder followed by shrimp, andouille sausage and grits go for $31, roughly 40% less than the fare at the Sanderling’s elegant Left Bank restaurant.

Hang Gliding on the Outer Banks

Patty Jenkins recently described her first hang gliding experience on HamptonRoads.com, and she retells a great story of achieving a goal and enjoying a unique Outer Banks experience.

At one point, Patty explains that “I know immediately when I’m no longer earthbound. The wind takes over, and my feet leave the ground.  Suddenly, I’m soaring. I had expected an adrenaline rush, like you get on a roller coaster, but instead I’m relaxed, even calm. The jitters are gone; I feel graceful.”

Sitting atop Jockey’s Ridge, the tallest sand dune on the East Coast, Kitty Hawk Kites has developed the largest hang gliding school in the world, teaching hundreds of thousands (over 300,000) of students since 1974!

If you’re up for the challenge, it is an awesome OBX experience.
