Our family has had a home on the Neuse River outside of Oriental for almost 40 years. For the last 30 years our country's independence has been celebrated with the Croaker Festival (the croaker is a fish once found abundantly in local waters, less so today...quite delicious fried up!) The Croaker Festival parade is blend of patriotism, affinity for the water and croaker love.
Love the photos, Beverly! Thanks for sharing them.
