We especially want to thank the organizers of this event, Scott and Dan from Coastal Provisions Market, located in Kitty Hawk and at the Duck Waterfront Shops, Maple Leaf Farms for their generous donation of the Duck to be used (www.mapleleaffarms.com); and sponsors, Barr-ee Station, Blue Point Restaurant, Katy Carolina Designs, and 8 Dot Graphics for their support.
