Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Hosting a Wave of Holiday Events This Week
The Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Historic Site & Museum in Rodanthe has a wave of special events and activities planned for this coming week, as part of their annual Season’s End Festivities.
On Tuesday, November 26, at 2:00 p.m., visitors will have an opportunity to go back in time to the Life-Saving Station’s early 20th-century heyday by watching the Beach Apparatus Drill.
Performed by local volunteers in period-accurate uniforms, the 2:00 p.m. drill is an action-packed display that honors the heroes who practiced this drill every Thursday at 4 bells, (or 2 p.m.), when the original stations were still in commission. The event is free with the price of admission.
On Wednesday, November 27, at 12:00 p.m., the community at large is invited to dig into a pre-Thanksgiving barbecue feast, courtesy of the Life-Saving Station’s afternoon Pig Pickin’.
For $12 a plate, hungry visitors can enjoy a plate of BBQ pork, baked beans, slaw, and drinks. All proceeds from the Pig Pickin’ will benefit the non-profit Chicamacomico Life-Saving Station Historic Site & Museum.
On Friday, November 29, at 1:00 p.m., visitors can enjoy a meet and greet with Santa Claus himself, who will be making a special early holiday appearance at the Life-Saving Station the day after Thanksgiving. The first 100 children who visit will receive a commemorative T-shirt along with a goodie bag, and there will also be snacks and drinks available. Visitors can bring a donation to the local food pantry as their admission ticket to the historic site and museum.
