Swansboro came alive recently as it hosted the second annual Movin’ Mullet 5K on October 5th, attracting 405 enthusiastic registrants (a sellout and then some) from near and far.

Last month (August 10-11) we partnered with the Onslow Flying Disc Association (OFDA) and hosted the inaugural Onslow Cup disc golf tournament at Northeast Creek Park.

Proceeds from the 2024 Frogman 3D Bowhunters Challenge and 5K were used to support Hope for the Warrior’s- Warrior’s Wish program, granting life-changing wishes to wounded veterans like Army veteran Nicholas B., who was granted his wish for an Xtool P2 55W Desktop CO2 Laser Cutter. Due to his service-connected disabilities, Nicholas is unable to work and turned to woodworking as an outlet. This Laser Cutter allows him to provide for his family, continue his passion, and contribute to his community.
