The Town of Inlet and the Inlet Youth Commission would like to thank everyone who was involved in making our 38th Annual Ping Pong Ball Drop held on July 4 an exciting day for all.
The 800-plus children who attended this event were each able to collect three ping pong balls that they traded in for prizes donated by the Inlet Youth Commission and area businesses.
Prizes included gift certificates, prizes, drinks, snacks and novelty toys. Attached to each novelty toy was a coupon for a free donut at The Donut Shop in Eagle Bay.
The novelty prizes, drinks and most of the snacks were purchased with the monetary donations. The monetary donations also help replenish the ping pong ball supply.
A big thank you goes out to the following:
