Honor those who serve by serving yourself a plate of local shrimp and all the trimmings at this year’s Core Sound shrimp fry on Harkers Island.
The Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center is hosting the community gathering July 5 to honor active-duty service members, veterans, first responders, including fire and rescue personnel, law enforcement, and teachers and school staff, healthcare workers and linemen.
Complimentary plates will be available to these individuals.
Everyone else may buy a plate for $20.
The event is scheduled from 4-7 p.m. “under the oak” at the museum and heritage center at 1785 Island Road.
The U.S. Marine Corps stage band will perform at 5 p.m. There will also be guest speakers, special tributes, children’s activities, a bake sale and silent auction.
Preorders and plate reservations are strongly encouraged.
Orders, reservations, and plate and event sponsorships may be placed online, at 806 Arendell Street, Morehead City or the heritage center on Harkers Island, or by phone at 252-728-1500.
Preordered plates will be available between 4-5:30 p.m. After that time, plates will be offered based on availability.
