Cape Lookout Albacore and Redfish Festival
CANCELLED FOR 2018
Due to Hurricane Florence
ANNOUNCEMENT:
Due to Hurricane Florence and the devastation brought to our area and so many others, the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s festival. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the thousands of families and businesses now dealing with the aftermath of the storm. There is a great recovery effort underway that will last months, and a monumental amount of work to be done throughout the entire region. That is where our attention is focused. Over the next few weeks we’ll be contacting our numerous sponsors and registered anglers to discuss any and all sponsorships and paid entry fees. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to returning in 2019 when we’ll all be reunited to celebrate the beauty of the Crystal Coast once again!
We are working with the generous Captains and boat owners to save the day on the water for our Disabled Veterans from Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, Inc. Email communication has already been sent out, so check your email if you're already involved. Feel free to inquire here if you'd like to take a Vet fishing on Thursday, October 18th.
If you would like to make a donation to the Hurricane Relief effort there are many great organizations. One local group with boots on the ground for fast distribution of manpower and other resources is the NC Baptist Men. You can log onto their website, click on the Hurricane Florence Tab, and donate electronically. There is also an address to mail checks payable to NC Baptist Men (for Hurricane Florence Relief). All such donations will get into local hands for distribution.
