Calling all pampered palates! Are you interested in creating a Gourmet Society? Gourmet supper clubs can be a lot of fun. They unite groups of people who share a passion for preparing and eating fine food. In some cases the group cooks the entire meal in the home of one of its members. Other clubs ask members to bring the dishes ready to be served. Invite friends who share similar food interests and skill levels to join the club.

The Sea Island Quilters will present their biannual “Southern Comforts” quilt show on Friday, May 5, and Saturday, May 6, at the Holiday Inn, 2225 Boundary Street, Beaufort, SC. The hours are from 10 am to 5 pm both days. Admission is $6.00 for adults. Children under 12 are free.

Last January Beaufort Mayor Billy Keyserling cut the ribbon at 500 Carteret Street officially ushering in the city’s Age of Technology. In a town that dates back centuries some things are better late than never. Enter the Beaufort Digital Corridor, a hi-tech incubator sponsored by the city to grow the tech and knowledge-based companies of tomorrow in the shadow of the Antebellum South. The Beaufort model is a slightly modified spin-off of the highly successful Charleston Digital Corridor, the brainchild of Earnest Andrade – also instrumental in getting the Beaufort project up and running. 

“Gullah-Geechee Island” is the name of the next Beaufort Art Association (BAA) show, featuring the artwork of local artist Amiri Geuka Farris. The show starts May 1^st and runs through June 30^th, and will feature a “pop-up” shop of a variety of handmade small and medium size pieces of art, as well as t-shirts, postcards and a music CD, all made by Farris.
