Figs grow naturally and in great abundance on the island. Every year people can figs and fig preserves and make island fig cakes. This weekend is also the time for the Ocracoke Fig Festival.
The Festival is held at the Berkeley Barn and features music, a fig cake contest, dancing, booths with fig related products, fig trees for sale, food, and a silent auction.
Trish and I went down yesterday to check things out. We looked a lot, shopped some, visited with friends, and had barbecue for lunch while there.
Some of the silent auction items were fascinating, especially this decorated boot from Susan Dodd.
Community events like this are part of what makes living here so much fun.
