The varsity and middle school baseball teams at Cape Hatteras Secondary School fed about 125 community members Monday night, Feb. 27, 2023 at the first Cape Hatteras Secondary Baseball Community Dinner.

It was a great night of food, fun and fellowship, with many attendees leaving with full bellies and prizes won from a free raffle.

The Cape Hatteras baseball program extended thanks to sponsors that contributed to the event, including Connor’s Supermarket, Food Lion, Frisco Rod & Gun and Sonny’s Restaurant, as well as Lighthouse Assembly of God for the use of the Family Life Center to host the event. Making the event possible was the hard work of the players, coaches, and especially the behind the scenes volunteers in the kitchen doing all of the cooking.
