Supporter Spotlight
In conjunction with Earth Day, Kitty Hawk Kites is teaming up with Dare Arts Council to create the Outer Banks ‘Sweep the Beach’ Trash Art Contest. Visit the Kitty Hawk Kites website for details for rules and how artists can submit their art work created with trash collected from area beaches.
After submission, artwork will be placed on the “TrART Walk” in varying locations across the Outer Banks and select pieces will be collected and moved to Jockey’s Ridge State Park and on display during Earth Fair OBX. Winners will be announced at the Kitty Hawk Kites booth at 3:45 p.m.
