We welcome Hawk Manor Falconry to the festival. Attendees will have an interactive experience with birds of prey, learn the history of falconry and also enjoy flight demonstrations and a simulated "hunt".

A Look at Hatteras Village
So the exciting news we got last week is that we were awarded a grant to move this event forward. We have been making some exciting contacts for event participants. The website is now functional and up and running so we are on to the organizational phase! Some parts of the site may not be working yet but will be as we move into the winter!
We have begun to compile lists of clubs and groups who might be interested in attending the festival. Please contact us if you have a group or are interested in joining our mailing list!
