The 2012 Outer Banks Wedding Association Weekend & Expo

2012-01-04T11:21:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year from the Outer Banks!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season. With 2012 finally here, we are excited about everything this year has to offer. A great way to start this New Year is by coming to check out the 2012 Outer Banks Wedding Expo on Sunday, January 8th (don't worry brides, it's not too late to register, and tickets can even be purchased at the door). The Outer Banks of North Carolina offers one of the most beautiful places on the East Coast to plan a beach wedding. With miles of oceanfront, historic settings, and many accommodations to choose from, it's no wonder our quaint little island is one of America’s top wedding destinations!

The 14th annual Wedding Weekend & Expo kicks off with a Friday night cocktail reception with David Tutera of My Fair Wedding, followed by the Wedding Tour on Saturday featuring some of the area's finest ceremony sites and reception venues. The expo on Sunday will showcase over 175 vendors, where you will be able to meet, select, and work with an extremely talented group of professionals dedicated to making your wedding an unforgettable one. Stan White Realty & Construction is proud to be part of this amazing event. We are especially excited to help you find the best event rental for your big day, as well as accommodations for your out-of-town guests. We will have an array of photos, property details, and information on the surrounding areas. Our Special Event Coordinator and a Property Manager will be available to answer any and all questions you may have. So be sure to visit us at booth #26 - we look forward to seeing you there! In the meantime, feel free to take a look at our BRAND NEW website, http://www.outerbanksrentals.com/. Cheers!!

Soaring 100

2011-02-08T06:22:00.000-08:00

Fall is a great time to visit the Outer Banks. This October, bring the whole family for Soaring 100, a fun-filled weekend celebrating the history of flight. The event will mark the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brothers’ record 9 minute, 45 second glider flight. Soaring 100 will be held October 21-24th at the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills and Jockey’s Ridge State Park in Nags Head. The First Flight Foundation (previously known as the First Flight Centennial Foundation) and a coalition of aviation groups are the backbone behind the event. You and your family will be able to enjoy a sailplane fly-in, vintage and modern glider displays, educational and entertaining symposiums, and special demonstrations and activities planned at the Wright Brothers National Memorial. At Jockey’s Ridge, three teams of aviation enthusiasts from Kansas, Ohio, and Virginia will attempt to launch replicas of the 1911 glider. Receptions, along with a gala banquet and dance, are also planned.

The Wright Brothers National Memorial is one of the area’s most popular attractions, where visitors can learn about the history of flight both indoors and out. The aircraft replicas and paintings are a must-see. You may remember the six-day event that took place in 2003 celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers’ first powered flight. On the last day of the event, over 34,000 people attended, including former president George W. Bush.

Soaring 100 is going to be full of smiling faces and good times. Now is the time to start planning a trip for you and your family to enjoy a weekend of fun here on the Outer Banks.

All proceeds from the yard sale were donated to Relay for Life. We hope Hunter and his family are doing well and wish them a very Merry Christmas.

2009 OBX Marathon

2009-11-16T08:54:00.000-08:00

Congratulations to all the runners in the OBX Marathon! We look forward to seeing you next year. Save the Date of Sunday, November 14, 2010 - Veterans Day weekend - Stan White Realty is proud to be an official accommodations sponsor of the Outer Banks Marathon. Book now or walk the plank!

The OBX Marathon just keeps getting bigger and better. We had fun being an entertainment station for last year's marathon, but this year we really wanted to help the runners rather than just entertain them (check out our 2008 mile marker at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jibGtTVnenQ). We signed up for mile marker 15, a designated water station. This proved to be a much more difficult task than expected! Getting up, getting ready, and setting up before daybreak on the morning of the marathon is almost a marathon in itself! Being the 2nd mile marker in the half marathon, we didn't have much time before thousands of runners came stampeding down Soundside Road all at once - no dispersement whatsoever! And they were thirsty! After everyone got their water and made their way past us, we had some time to finish setting up and work out our technical difficulties with the PA system before the full marathon runners made their way to us. By the time they arrived, we had the 90's music blasting and the water cups ready. We loved cheering them on and they welcomed the distraction! It was a very gratifying, team-building experience, and Stan White Realty is proud to be apart of such a well-organized event. We appreciate all of the runners who visit our area annually to participate. Next year, find your marathon accommodations at http://www.outerbanksrentals.com/ for fantastic savings on select homes. Take advantage of our convenient and complimentary early check-in and late check-out options to make your OBX Marathon experience carefree and enjoyable.
