Exciting New Documentary on Winged Horse Statues in Duck
Duck, North Carolina, is buzzing with excitement as the town has made a thrilling announcement: they will be creating a documentary about the beloved winged horse statues that adorn the beautiful Outer Banks. These extraordinary statues, often referred to as “winged horses,” are not just pieces of art; they represent a unique part of the community’s history and are fondly remembered by many.
The Town of Duck described the project as “a very exciting endeavor” aimed at preserving a cherished piece of Outer Banks history for countless years to come. The documentary will not just be about the horses themselves but will dive deep into the stories behind the Winged Horse Extravaganza project, an initiative that brought the community together in a wonderful way.
Join the Effort
The Town is now reaching out for help from the community. They are inviting anyone who has firsthand experience with a winged horse statue to become part of this special film. This could include individuals who purchased a horse during the initial fundraiser back in 2002, folks who painted a statue, or anyone else who played a role in the project. The aim is to build a collection of vibrant stories that reflect the heart and spirit of the Outer Banks.
“Storytelling is a big piece of this documentary as we strive to recount the Winged Horse Extravaganza project’s past and present,” said the Town in their announcement. This means your story could play a significant role in sharing the history and excitement surrounding these beautiful statues. If you have a story, memory, or connection to one of these horses, the Town of Duck wants to hear from you!
