Noelle Nunes had herself a DAY while out with our tour guide extraordinaire, Gayle. So kind of her to share such darling captures of one of the Banks' newest locals. (Zoom in to catch this little nugget mid-munch on some grasses.) Big thanks to both Noelle and Gayle for allowing us this moment of cuteness.

Please remember to always offer the horses their space-- at least 50 feet. Never attempt to feed or touch them. Not just courtesies, but the law.

Discover the wild side of Corolla! Book a wild horse tour with our premier partners on a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, and receive $5 per person on the tour of a lifetime! Don't miss the untamed beauty of these majestic creatures, for a great deal!

🥗Team House Salad or Team Caesar Salad?🥗

House Salad is just as cute as Caesar, right? House Salad is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like House Salad just as much as they like Caesar...

Whatever you prefer, I hope you got the reference! 😉 #meangirls

Geno over at the Lost Colony Tavern in Manteo is throwing a month-long Halloween Party and he asked us to be the official beer.

“Easy,” I said. “Pick a flavor. We have grim reapers, a skeleton bagpiper, an evil fisherman, a witch, and a Creep Show–inspired colonist. Come to think of it, we ARE the official beer of Halloween.”

But it was not easy. Geno of course wanted something special. (It’s never easy, is it Geno?)

Thus, the Blonde of Frankenstein idea was born. Geno then turned to our logo guru Britton, and a masterpiece was created.

Starting in October, we will have an extremely limited run of The Blonde of Frankenstein for the Thirteen Bars of Halloween.

I always thought Halloween in Manteo couldn’t get any better, but I think Geno just proved me wrong.

Check out the Lost Colony Tavern for all the info on Halloween Island and the Thirteen Bars of Halloween!
