Darius Rucker asked in his recent Billboard hit ?For the First Time,? ...when was the last time you did something for the first time??
The Outer Banks of North Carolina has a history of ?firsts." We were the first English colony in America - located on Roanoke Island and founded by Sir Walter Raleigh. We were first in flight when John T. Daniels captured an image Orville and Wilbur Wright?s glider lifting off the dunes of Kitty Hawk in December of 1903. We were the home of the first English child born in the new world - Virginia Dare. And, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the first public university to open its doors in America.
Indeed our ?Firsts" have a history of being memorable. Recently, VisitNC, North Carolina?s Tourism Marketing arm, was recognized for championing North Carolina?s Firsts That Last campaign when it received a total of nine AAAwards from the American Advertising Federation. The campaign prominently featured all of the firsts that are possible on the North Carolina Outer Banks and focused on one young family?s first visit to the ocean - reminding us that it is the simplest of ?firsts? that are the most special.
