Wrightsville Beach-The weekend of October 6-7 marked the 3rd Annual Clean Water Classic Event for the Cape Fear Chapter. With over 200 people entering and watching the contest, the chapter was able to send their messages about water quality, beach access and the State of the Beach Report over the airwaves for 2 straight days.

The Awards Banquet was attended by over 100 people and was held under the big top at Surf City Surf Shop (the Landing) on Wrightsville Beach, catered by K38 Inc and the Seapans steel drum band played again this year.

As usual a big thanks goes out to the ESA crew that always help make this happen and for Spy Sunglasses and Coastal Beverage for sponsoring the saturday night after party.
