Calling all bakers! Break out your recipes for the Fig Cake Bake-Off and End-of-Summer Celebration on August 15th!

Ocracoke can't let a little hurricane keep us from having our fig cake and eating it, too, so we've rescheduled the annual 4th of July Fig Cake Bake-Off smack in the middle of fig season. 

And it's not just a Bake-Off – it's a whole End-of-Summer Celebration with a square dance and live music!
