🚨 EVENT CANCELLATION: Ocracoke Touch-a-Truck 🚨

Due to the forecasted inclement weather, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this Saturday’s Ocracoke Touch-a-Truck event.

We were really looking forward to a fun morning with our Ocracoke families and community partners, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

A huge thank you to all of our community partners, volunteers, and everyone who helped with planning this year’s event. We truly appreciate your time, support, and willingness to be part of it!

Thank you all for your understanding. We hope to see everyone next year! 💙
