We love this time of year! The weather changes, new visitors are discovering our area and appreciating all that we are blessed to enjoy as year around residents of the coast of South Carolina.
College Football... we're Gamecock fans, but do share our office with a few outspoken Clemson fans. It's been a challenging year for one team, yet the other is looking rather strong and playing very well...no more comments about that!
Barbecue! It's time for the pig pickin's! One of our favorite Barbecue restaurants is Hog Heaven BBQ in Pawleys Island. They cater events and also serve from their quaint restaurant on Highway 17 in Pawleys Island. Buying the BBQ by the pound is one of our favorite things to do...it tailgates well or feeds the crowds at home with great ease to the hosts.
Oysters! This is the month that we start thinking about Oyster Roasts, a great place to buy the oysters in Murrells Inlet is Murrells Inlet Seafood. Unless you're industrious and want to get your own, this is the go to source! They clean and bag the oysters for your roasts. You can buy local clusters or the singles from the Gulf. We like the local oysters, they are salty and what we have a taste for.
Pumpkins! One of the best places to pick up the pumpkin for you jack-o-lantern is St. Pauls Methodist Church in Litchfield. The church uses this as one of their annual fund raisers. I noticed lots of activity this week and know that the field will soon be filled with the orange pumpkins. Make it a family event, go pick your pumpkin and then have a carving contest! We would love for you to share your efforts with us :)
Birding! Huntington Beach State Park is often the destination for the birds doing their annual migration south for the winter. You'll never know what bird will stop by. The South Carolina Parks Pass is a smart investment. As a resident of Georgetown county you qualify for a discount at several locations, one of which is the county Library. The pass is good for a year and accepted at all state parks in South Carolina.
Brookgreen Gardens! I can't not mention this lovely place, Brookgreen Gardens, is such a treasure the Huntington family left to the state of South Carolina. The Harvest Festival is October 15 and 16th this year. A special time to visit and tour.
The Wooden Boat Show! Georgetown will be the destination for this. An annual event that celebrates the water heritage of this seaport will be October 15. Front Street will be full of nautical vendors, antique boats lovers showcasing their restoration efforts and the exciting boat building competition. Check this out and stop at any of the waterfront restaurants to enjoy some fresh seafood and cold beverage.
We love fall in the south! What are some of your favorite things to do?
We're so blessed to call this area home!
