Join the Oriental Woman’s Club’s second annual Luminary Launch from Lou Mac Park, on Saturday April 1 Sunday April 2, 7-9p.

The OWC invites you to join them for a quiet evening by the water, where they will release paper lanterns at dusk. Each lantern carries your handwritten message – a wish, a renewal, a memorial, whatever you’d like. The women of the OWC will set the luminaries in the water to float and drift until 9p. (All will be retrieved to make sure of no pollution to the creeks.)

Purchase your lantern for $25 at the OWC Chowder Cook Off on March 18, through Marguerite Garrett (252-249-2279), at the launch on April 1, or send a check to Oriental Woman’s Club, PO Box 515, Oriental, NC 28571. Want a message with your lantern, but not able to be there April 1? Include the message with your purchase and the OWC will do it for you.

Proceeds help fund teacher mini-grants and benefit Pamlico County students. Rain date is April 2, 2023.
