BURGAW, NC (WWAY) — Burgaw is widely known for its annual Blueberry Festival, which has taken place since 2004 and attracted thousands of visitors to the town. At the center of it all stands the Pender County Courthouse, which has quite the past of its own. Pender County itself was formed in 1875, with Watha its original county seat. But that was changed to Burgaw in 1877 with a courthouse coming not long after.

WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — This week makes 97 years since a large whale washed ashore on Wrightsville Beach, causing quite the commotion from locals and visitors alike. In total, more than 50,000 people turned over a number of days to view the animal up close. A Wrightsville Beach year-round resident was the first to stumble upon the 54-foot sperm whale during a morning walk. It didn’t take long for word to spread like wildfire.

SOUTHPORT, NC (WWAY) — Most people are aware of the Oak Island Lighthouse and Bald Head Island Lighthouse which stand tall along the Cape Fear coastline. But far fewer know of the much smaller, but equally significant Price’s Creek Lighthouse. The short brick structure can hardly be seen today, as it’s located on private property and can only be spotted as the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry is coming to or going from the dock in Southport.

CAPE FEAR, NC (WWAY) — Spring is officially upon us, meaning warmer days, later sunsets and lots of time spent outdoors. While the miles of beaches along our coast will be the most popular spots over the next six months, there are two area lake towns further inland which will receive their fair share of guests. Lake Waccamaw in Columbus County and White Lake in Bladen County have only been tourists towns for the last century or so. But they’ve existed far longer than that.

The mountains are overcast with a chilly rain while we enjoy dry and mild conditions towards the coast. The showers should survive the trip across the Carolinas and push in by the early evening. We'll see scattered showers through tomorrow afternoon. https://t.co/JdZJz3VAGo
