“It isn't every day
you have the chance to witness history in the making, but
Saturday, June 29,2019 was one of those days. Friends,
families and neighbors gathered in the eastern part of
Bertie County on the shore of the Albemarle Sound to enjoy a
day at the beach. Residents enjoyed a picnic lunch under a
huge tent, music, swimming, fishing, paddle boards, kayaks and activities for
children. Countless volunteers and community leaders worked
to make the day possible. Hats off to them for a job well
done!! We find it exciting to enjoy a look into the future
and consider the possibilities for the people of Bertie
County.” BertiePoet
“Great job Bertie!” L. Helms
“Great event! I enjoyed seeing
our county come together! Well planned and hats off to all
involved to make it happen!” P. Demofonte
“I was very pleased to see the
smiles of the community able to finally enjoy the beautiful
waterfront in Bertie. I certainly hope that this is one of
many new and exciting things for the county!!” S. Spivey
“Thanks, Bertie. Great event.
Thanks to all who helped make this day possible. Everyone
was so gracious and helpful. Amazing what can be
accomplished when everyone works together! Bertie got it
going on!” D.

“Love this!! As a former teacher
at CES, I was always disheartened by the number of students
who had never been able to access the water. This is great!
Awesome to see the smiling faces enjoying the water!” D. Simons
“Can't wait to come and
experience Bertie Co. Beach. Great Accomplishment!!” M. Bond
“This is absolutely wonderful....
i wasnt able to attend because of prior engagements but it
looks as if everyone who attended enjoyed. It really gives
me joy to see my bertie citizens enjoying each other and our
beautiful land. Hope Bertie has more in store. This is so
awesome.” K.
Rascoe
“As a teacher, my favorite part
was watching all of my kids finally get to enjoy what I tell
them about all the time! I saw MANY of them there today.
Many are clueless there's a river right here or when I tell
them about the wildlife around it they are so curious and
just wish they could come jump in. Seeing them smile those
big smiles out in the water and experiencing paddle boarding
and fishing all for the first time today made me happy
seeing them so happy! I'm glad there was an opportunity
given for EVERYONE to come out and enjoy this beautiful
water. “ A. Powell
“My heart is smiling as I read
all of your comments. This is proof positive that ALL things
are possible when we are prayerful and willing to roll up
our sleeves to become a part of positive changes in our
community. It won’t necessarily be easy, but it will most
definitely be worth it. Great job Bertie County Government
Leaders. I pray that this will be the first of many events
that bring our community TOGETHER. ” K. Bazemore
“We took our grandkids from Ohio
today and it was a great experience. Thank you to all who
have worked so hard. I loved the positive feelings of being
with all of you. With all the strife in the news I can’t say
enough good about this” D. Williams
“We had the best time!! We will
be there every weekend!!” K. Copeland
