If you're like me, and you would rather have oral surgery than face a large crowd of shoppers, you should consider doing your shopping on Ocracoke. (This time of year, there isn't a large crowd ANYWHERE on the island!)
To make it even more fun, the School Road merchants are hosting their annual holiday open house event on Saturday Dec. 6th from 1 to 4 PM. They will be offering light refreshments and holiday discounts. And there's such a wide variety of stores there, it may be possible to do ALL your shopping in one trip! Here's a list of the participating stores (and one restaurant):
Books to Be Red
Deepwater Pottery
The Gathering Place
The Hemp Shop
Indulgence
Ocracoke Restoration Co.
The Sunglass Shop
Thai Moon
Zillie's Island Pantry
And if you need some inspiration or encouragement, here's a note on why it's a great idea to shop on Ocracoke, from the flier announcing the event:
When you shop locally you keep money in our economy, you embrace what makes Ocracoke unique, you create local jobs, you help the environment, you invest in our entrepreneurship, and you keep us as a shopping destination.
Who knew? You can do all those good things just by shopping!
