Justin welcomes in Macey Chovaz, Kara Dehus and Barbara Davidson from the Dare Education Foundation to have some fun talking about the words and phrases teenagers use these days and to also discuss their Dueling Pianos signature event taking place February 9 at 108 Budleigh in Downtown Manteo!

Invited to a party or heading to a family gathering? Stop by to pick up some Mackey Ferry Peanuts. You'll definitely get invited back next year!

Sir Walter’s Hideway is a secluded venue on The Manteo House property in the heart of Downtown Manteo. This historic waterfront property is the Evans Family Homeplace, initially built in 1870. While the Hideaway is tucked away and separated from the house, you’ll enjoy the sanctity and unique experience of being in the heart of Manteo. Walk the docks and quaint streets and explore the town’s shops, restaurants, and historical offerings. Then, walk to all of your newest favourite places!

Congratulations again to Sweater Box Confections for winning the Our State Magazine Made in NC Award for 2023! The Made in NC Awards shines a spotlight on North Carolina’s incredible artisans and creative craftspeople. Did you know that Sweater Box Confections is the longest running vendor at the Town of Manteo's Downtown Market? Their cookies are not only yummy sweet treats but they are so very pretty! We want to thank Mrs. Chris Carroll, owner of Sweater Box Confections, for her long standing dedication and commitment to the Downtown Market. The market wouldn't be the same without you, and we love ya! ?

“Keeping it local whenever we can” is the name of the game, and this weekend we’re excited to be featuring FRESH LOCAL RADISHES from Island Farm on our English Garden Salad! Though the historic working farm here on Roanoke Island is closed to visitors for the season, they offer periodic “veggie drops” throughout the winter months, which sell out QUICKLY. We were fortunate enough to grab some of these beautiful radishes grown in that dark, rich Roanoke Island soil. Drop by this week and taste the many local flavors at Lost Colony Tavern!
