In the Words of a Resident
“Most people have their own unique way of life and customs; leaving out the not so good ones, these are a few of ours:
We bring potluck to
wedding receptions.
We start conversations with 'hows ya mom n 'em?'
We do not purchase seafood from supermarkets.
We pull for the underdog.
Meet us once and you walk away as if you have known us your entire
life.
We know how to throw a party.
We donate our catch and time to
charitable fundraisers."
