Oar Trophy | September 1, 2014

A Labor Day weekend tradition is the Oar Race from New Bern to Oriental (the race back is the Michelob Regatta). The Oar Trophy is awarded to the winner of the first race. It’s a different trophy than any other local race award – the oar above was from the MV “Clara”, which participated in the WWII evacuation of Dunkirk in 1940. Each year a new name of the race winner is added. More about the tradition in this 2010 file story. Photo from Saturday night’s race party in Oriental. (Charley Bratton photo)
