Hungry?

A good potluck is always a great way to fill up, on both food and fellowship. On Ocracoke, potlucks are held for all sorts of reasons: to get people to come to a meeting, to celebrate birthdays, holidays (Jimmy's Garage party during the Christmas season is the biggest), and other days (summer solstice, for example), and sometimes for no reason at all other than wanting to get together and eat. This winter there were a handful more potluck and other food get-togethers than usual, since everything was so quiet while the road was closed. According to the email I received today, the next potluck is to celebrate the fact that the road is reopening:

OCRACOKE CIVIC AND BUSINESS ASSOCIATION
FOR A POT LUCK SUPPER

DRINKS AND MAIN COURSE PROVIDED
SPONSORED BY OCBA

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

On Ocracoke, everyone really means everyone. John and I went to a potluck once before we lived here, and we took a pizza from Jason's (since we were staying in a B&B and therefore didn't have a kitchen, tools and/or ingredients to prepare something homemade). The pizza was well received (especially by the kids) and we enjoyed an evening with the community. So if you happen to be here on Wednesday, join us to celebrate winter coming to a close, and the road becoming open.
