July Employe of Month

  ORBIE LITTLE, parks maintenance crew leader with parks and recreation, is the Dare County Employee of the Month for July. Little was recognized at the July 19 Dare County Board of Commissioners meeting in a presentation by Tim White, public services director. Little began working with parks and rec in 1999. He begins his work day at 6 a.m. and is charged with the overall maintenance of the equipment and grounds of many locations. ”I talk to him just about every morning on my way to work,” said White. ”There is nothing he can’t fix, and there is nothing he won’t do for the employees of parks and recreation and everyone in Dare County.” White went on to describe how Little often works 12- or 16-hour  days during special events such as tournaments or the Outer Banks Marathon. He also told of how Little’s wife has probably not seen him on the Fourth of July in years, since there are always baseball tournaments held at parks and rec fields during the holiday.
