  • Volume 58 Number 2 Features The Western Carolinian Page 5 Thursday, July 23, 1992 Sunfest '92: fun, food & music on the beach m& Danell Moses Features Writer The "Circle" in Atlantic Beach was once a popular recreation beach area in Carteret County, North Carolina. Until recendy, the Circle, which is the streets and boardwalk area of Atlantic Beach, has been deteriorating and getting a bad reputation. Business owners and townspeople have decided to revitalize the area and renew the tourism and family atmosphere that once existed. In an effort to accomplish their goals, sponsors held a major music and entertainment festival July 18-19 called Sunfest '92. Sunfest '92 had two main components. One was the festival in the street of the Circle where food, drink, and merchandise vendors lined the area with their goods. Also in this area were wandering musicians, bands, comedians, artists and rides. Some of the activities that went on were basketball shooting contests with Tracy Williams of die Harlem Globetrotters, Karaoke contests, and a "Find Ferdinan The Clown" contest in which children under 12 tried to find Ferdinan hiding somewhere in the area so they could win fun prizes and food certificates. The other component was held in the beach area and boardwalk. Concerts featured local and national bands such as Mr. Potato Head, Captain Cook & The Coconutz, the Super Grit Cowboy Band, the Voltage Brothers, the Embers, the Blackwater Band, and die Connells. The cost for a day of concerts was $ 12. Local vendors, restaurants, and bars sold refreshments and Sunfest '92 souvenirs. One local craftsperson commented, "Even though the crowd is large, the people haven't been buying anything." A local artist said, "Most of the people are beach goers and they're so saddled down with beach stuff they don't have a way to carry anything else with them." Another vendor, Fran Beacham from Breyers Ice Cream, said, "We' ve not made any money at this festival. There are too many vendors and not enough people. The people aren't coming out because of the bad rep of the Circle. They're (local businesses and sponsors) trying to change that, but it's going to take a while." Pauline Smith, a local country singer who performed at S unfest, commented, "It's been a lot of fun seeing everyone and having a good time. I hope it gets bigger and even better next year. I'll be here for sure." There was a great deal of security in the area to keep the crowd under control. Officer Don Martin of the Morehead Police Department said, "Everything has gone pretty smoodily. The crowds have been pretty calm except for a couple of ■olinian photo by Laura Adams Chris Ratcliff with the Blackwater band, is selling T-shirts on the beach at Sunfest '92 in Atlantic Beach, NC on July 19. fights at the end of Saturday night's festivities." Officer Martin's unit was in charge of the parking for VIP's, vendors, and musicians. He remarked that there were also officers on both sides of the bridge to Atlantic Beach who were checking for reckless drivers and possible DWI suspects. Martin said that Atianlic Beach officers and local Military Police were taking care of most of the security in the Circle and that "Morehead officers are here to provide mutual aid to AUantic Beach in the hope that this festival is a full and safe success." All of the vendors interviewed said they would come back next year for the second annual Sunfest because they expected big ger crowds and that everyone would know it was a safe, family oriented festival. Most of the crowd on the beach seemed to be college students, but people of all ages were dancing lo the beat of the bands and enjoying the festival and carnival like atmosphere offered by Sunfest.
