Cedar Point definitely had to make a hard decision on this. We were looking forward to some demos the Sheriff K9 units were to do but for the safety of everyone we totally understand. No need for flying tents ⛺️! We will see you at our next event in November!

Due to expected inclement weather, particularly high winds, the Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel this year's CedarFest.

The vendors that were scheduled to participate in this year's event will have a free spot at our 2027 CedarFest as a result of this year's cancellation.

We appreciate your understanding and anticipate seeing everyone at next year's CedarFest on October 16, 2027!

Education comes in many forms. Teaching young ones to respect working K9’s but to learn what they do to help their community is an amazing opportunity. Way to go K9 Unit, team Yuna!

🚨 **I SAID SUMMER WAS OVER. I NEVER SAID WE WERE DONE.**

**SPARE CHANGE IS BACK AT SNAPPERZ BEACH!** 🔥

Yep. One more big night—and this one is for our community.

**Saturday, October 10**, we’re bringing everyone together at **Snapperz Emerald Isle** for the **Carteret County K9 Foundation fundraiser!**

🐾 **Fundraiser: 4–10 PM**
🎸 **Spare Change LIVE: 7–10 PM**

Our locals keep showing up for us long after the summer crowds head home. I see it. I appreciate it. And bringing a night like this back for y’all means a lot to me.

So let’s make it BIG. Great food, cold drinks, Spare Change bringing the heat, and a local cause worth showing up for.

**I WANT THAT BEACH PACKED.**

Round up your crew. Call the neighbors. Drag out that friend who’s already wearing pajamas by 7. They can be boring next Saturday. 😂

**SHARE THIS. TAG YOUR PEOPLE. LET’S GIVE THIS FOUNDATION A NIGHT TO REMEMBER.**

Emerald Isle… let me hear you. Who’s coming?! 🔥🐾
