Reception for the FBYC Exhibit at the Deltaville Maritime Museum Saturday, May 28, 6 – 8 pm
on Friday April 15, 2016 02:50PM
FBYC will sponsor a celebration on the Saturday evening of Memorial Day Weekend at the Deltaville Maritime Museum (DMM) to inaugurate the recently installed permanent exhibit at the Museum honoring our Club’s proud history in the community since 1939.The reception will include beverages and heavy hors d’oeuvres to delight the palate. The event - https://www.fbyc.net/Events/2016/05.28.social/ssi.dtml is open to all members upon reservation.
FBYC will use this event to express its gratitude to the DMM for the prominence it has given our Club in their new exhibition hall. Cost to attend is $15/adult with juniors admitted free. $10 of each admission ticket will be donated to the Deltaville Maritime Museum which has partnered with us in the past to stage important sailing events, such as the Southern Chesapeake Leukemia Cup Regattas and the 2010 Optimist Nationals.
A highlight of our exhibit is a fully rigged wooden Optimist on display that was built in 1981-82 by the North Carolina Maritime Museum and used until 2005 in their junior program in Beaufort, NC. They named her Wave Walker. Donated to the DMM by FBYC junior members, Luke & Logan Hayes, their parents, Mark & Michelle, bought her in 2005 when she was retired from the North Carolina Maritime Museum program, and after being re-built, both boys sailed her at FBYC.
As an extra attraction to our members, on the same evening the Museum is hosting Grovin’ in the Park, one of its popular series of musical performances which everyone should enjoy.
