Exciting Events and Heartwarming Adoption Stories in Nags Head

Nags Head, a jewel in the Outer Banks, is buzzing with activity this November! From community service initiatives to festive celebrations, there’s a lot happening in our lovely town. Let’s dive into the latest and greatest happenings!

Unpacking Voluntourism with OBVB’s Executive Director

This week on the podcast, the Executive Director of the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau, Mr. Nettles, opened up a conversation about an intriguing concept called voluntourism. If you haven’t heard about it before, it’s when people travel to a destination and engage in volunteering while enjoying a vacation. How great is that?

Mr. Nettles emphasized the importance of giving back to our beautiful community, saying there’s an expectation that people need to do their part. Whether it’s helping with beach clean-ups or supporting local charities, every little bit counts! So, if you’re planning a trip to Nags Head, why not consider lending a hand while you’re here?

Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards Nominations Open

Speaking of giving back, it’s that time of the year again! Nominations are now being accepted for the Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards. This award honors the individuals who go above and beyond to support their communities through volunteer work. If you know someone who’s dedicated to making a difference, it’s the perfect moment to recognize their hard work!
