EDENTON CELEBRATES SMALL TOWN TRADITIONS
FENDERS, ENGINES SHINE
Many walkers-by were wondering why they sold the old truck or 1964 Mustang.
GOLF CARTS AWE THE CROWD
Golf carts dressed in red, white and blue, paraded down Broad St. with flags flying high, flirting with flying streamers. The blocks-long parade had folks in awe at the number of golf carts filled with families, friends and dogs.
WATERMELON SPITTING CONTEST
The Optimist Club sponsored watermelon spitting, decorating and eating contests, which turned out to be stickily successful. The sand pit treasure hunt following the seeded activities provided reasons to clean the car Saturday morning.
"In Their Own Words"
"The four of us all share a love of history and a passion for historic preservation. After listening to Robert Leath describe Edenton during his previous visits to Charleston, we wanted to learn more about its colonial history and see the charming city first-hand. We heard about Edenton’s 4th of July celebration and the reading of the Declaration of Independence situated on the courthouse lawn with breathtaking views of the Albemarle Sound. As a young girl, Lois traveled to this area with her dad to see historic sites and has always wanted to return. It is as charming as she remembered. The rest of us had never been and were looking forward to enjoying a fun girls trip and 4th of July celebration. This trip has far exceeded all of our expectations and we have had a fabulous time. In addition to rich history and beautifully preserved architecture, we have so enjoyed meeting and getting to know so many people. You all sure do make us feel welcome! We are so thankful for the gracious hospitality from everyone."
