About the event

The 250th anniversary of teenager Betsy Dowdy's cold, night time ride is 2025.  Betsy, our own Paul Revere rode her pony from Currituck, through the sound and all the way to Hertford - over 40 miles to warn General Skinner about the British advance.  At the Betsyfest we hope to unveil the new Betsy mural that will be part of the NC Mural Trail of 100 murals in 100 counties.  Expect horses, antique vendors, shopping, food, activities and more.
