Fall brings all sorts of fun and festivity to the Lowcountry. Here are some highlights...

You’re Invited to a Public Art Exhibition at Honey Horn

The Lowcountry is blessed with breathtaking natural landscapes and a myriad of majestic creatures. We relish the expansive salt marsh and are continually grateful for the sight of Bottlenose Dolphins and Great White Egrets. We are stewards of our environment, because we appreciate all that is beautiful in our backyard.

 Next February the Beaufort International Film Festival takes up residence in its new home at the USCB Center for the Arts. As festival organizers looked to take the event to the next level they had only to cross Carteret Street to find a kindred spirit in the Center’s Director, Bonnie Hargrove. (Read about changes at BIFF here.) In the brief span of about eighteen months Hargrove has positioned the Center for the Arts at the forefront of the visual and performing arts in the region through strong community involvement and support. In 2010 the Center joined the digital age with Hi-Def broadcasts of The Metropolitan Opera – a huge success – and a technological investment that opened the door to a new dimension of possibilities.

Earlier this month, a group of our friends came over to help Vince and me test some new recipes. Local photographer, John Wollwerth, joined us and took these great photos! Thank you to our models Mark and Audra Alexander, Mike and Kim Clark, Steve Danko and Vince Covington.  And, a special thank you to Sue Merrill for the beautiful flowers! I had so many recipes and photographs that I've had to share them in two parts. If you missed the last edition of Lowcountry Weekly you can read 'Mexican Fiesta – Part I' right here.

Now is your chance to find a true treasure at a great price from various collections of eclectic art. Several of the dealers from the Collectors Antique Mall on Lady’s Island are organizing a one-day sale of art ranging from traditional to contemporary. Included will be works from emerging artists of the Lowcountry and art from collections whose owners have traveled internationally.   The sale is a one-day event on Saturday, September 24^th from 10am-5pm. The Collectors Antique Mall is located at 102C Sea Island Parkway, in Lady’s Island Shopping Center.
