A conversation with Bonnie Hargrove, director of the USCB Center for the Arts, about the CFA’s plans for showing more films this summer.
LCW: School is out and summer is upon us. Will you continue to offer films this summer, or should we all just head for the beach?
On a gorgeous afternoon earlier this month, Lowcountry Weekly joined other media folks, along with a host of university employees, for a delightful cruise around the Calibogue Sound, courtesy of USCB and Vagabond Cruise.
International Short Story Day coincides with Beaufort author’s release on Amazon Kindle.
Did you know that June 20th is International Short Story Day? If you’re reading this after the fact, don’t despair. There’s still plenty of time to join the world in celebrating our nation’s original literary art form. And here in Beaufort, we can even think globally while acting locally, because our own resident short story specialist, T.D. (Tim) Johnston, has just announced that one of his short stories is now available on Amazon Kindle.
In November 2005 my first cookbook, Dining Under the Carolina Moon, was published. I'm happy to report that the 4,000 copy first printing is sold out!

The exciting and good news is that I have a brand new cookbook coming out in just a few days!

The sluggish season is hard upon us, y’all – that lazy, languid time of year when thinking deep thoughts can be so terribly draining. So allow me to offer up a few shallow thoughts, instead, as we all wade inexorably into the hot, thick soup of another Lowcountry summer. At best, this miscellany of anecdotes and observations might bring you a moment of mild pleasure while you’re dangling in a hammock somewhere. If not? Those of you reading it in print can always use it as a fan. Or peel shrimp on it.
The Beaufort Art Association is proud to feature Cathy Keup, whose exhibit “Shaken, Not Stirred” will run at the BAA Gallery on 913 Bay Street from June 25 through August 4 with an opening reception on Friday, June 29.
