VIP Fishing Trip
New Bern Parks and Recreation is proud to be a part of this annual trip to the Outer Banks. For years, we have provided transportation to the Craven County's Visually Impaired People so that they may enjoy themselves on this week-long adventure. The 2008 trip proved very fruitful for one special VIP, Pete Pederman. Pete came in 1st place for cathching the most fish from our boat, The Crystal Dawn.
