We are so sorry and incredibly sad that we had to cancel Homecoming 2020 in April due to the Coronavirus. The next Portsmouth Homecoming will be scheduled in April 2022 – two years from now. We felt this was best to keep it on the regular schedule of every two years which is also in keeping with our by-laws. We will hold the Homecoming raffle at our September 19 meeting at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum for those who already purchased their tickets. You do not have to be present to win but we hope you will come! Stayed tuned to this website and to our Facebook page for further details. Thank you!
Homecoming Cancelled
We regret to inform you that Homecoming 2020 has been cancelled due to the new government mandates regarding events for 50+ people. If you have purchased raffle tickets, we will hold the raffle at a later date after we get all this sorted out. Stay tuned to this website and our Facebook page for any future details. This was a most difficult decision but we had no choice. Thank you!
Homecoming 2020
Homecoming is Saturday, April 25 – and we have a new theme! Thanks – or no thanks – to Hurricane Dorian, we have chosen the theme “Portsmouth Rises” to replace the hunt club theme. Special t-shirts will be offered for this homecoming and will be available on a first come first serve basis. And as usual, all attendees will receive the traditional homecoming pin at sign-in.
We encourage you to make lodging accommodations at Ocracoke now as we hear the motels (fewer this year) are booking up. You don’t want to miss seeing why we chose “Portsmouth Rises” as our theme this year.
Homecoming 2020
Start making plans to attend Homecoming at Portsmouth on April 25, 2020. We will be featuring the hunt clubs and wildfowl traditions of Portsmouth. Check back often for updates as we plan for this wonderful day.
Please note: April is a very busy time on Ocracoke and it is important to make your motel/cottage reservations as far in advance as you can. We understand there is another big event on Ocracoke that weekend, so please plan ahead if you are planning to spend the night. Some motels may require a 2- night reservation, so please check availability in advance.
