No doubt the week of July 4th is one of, if not THE, busiest of the year. Thousands of people will be on the island and numerous activities will be held throughout the week, including:
Many other fun activities are listed in BHI Limited's holiday brochure found
HERE.
A couple of quick safety reminders:
- No underage drivers on golf carts; valid license is required
- Fireworks are prohibited on BHI
- Please don't drink and drive
- Watch out for wildlife
- Call 911 in the event of an emergency and tell the dispatcher you're calling from Bald Head Island
Also, due to Southport's fireworks, BHI Transportation has cancelled the July 4th 9pm ferry from Deep Point and the 9:30pm ferry from BHI. The contractor ferry will not run on July 4th.

There has been much discussion on social media recently about calling 911 while on BHI for a situation perceived to be non-emergency. We all know that BHI is unique in many aspects. It follows that the way to reach first responders here is also different than the mainland. Here are some guidelines the Village's Public Safety Department asks everyone to follow.
Always Call 911
Seconds count in an
emergency - always call 911. Notify the dispatcher that you are on Bald Head Island and your address, and emergency personnel on BHI will respond immediately. The Public Safety Department has paramedics, firefighters and law enforcement on duty 24/7/365 on Bald Head Island.
On BHI, for
non-emergency calls that require immediate assistance, call 911. Notify the dispatcher that it is a non-emergency call and that you are on Bald Head Island. Calling 911 logs the call for important tracking and training reasons and immediately dispatches Public Safety personnel.
Property owners who rent their home on BHI are strongly encouraged to print this information about calling 911 for their renters.
Anyone who has visiting guests is strongly encouraged to share this information as well.

As a reminder, Bald Head Association accepts American flags that need to be retired and staff will take them to Southport for proper disposal. Drop off hours are 9am-4pm, Monday through Friday.

Message from the Village Manager
Village Manager Chris McCall sent out a message this week that contains information about several topics relevant to BHI property owners, including passage of the 2019-20 budget (along with a description of the major budget items), the revision of the transportation ordinance, a new campaign to deter underage driving and specifics on July 4th activities.
Also, with the extreme drought conditions in the region, the Village (and Brunswick County) are asking homeowners to reduce their water use and improve water use efficiently.
