This time of year, if you are driving into the little town of Allendale not too far inland from Beaufort, you might be surprised at the abundant blue, pink, and white flowers growing wild along the railroad tracks for about a quarter mile from the town’s main stop light. There are hundreds and hundreds of them, appearing every spring to brighten an otherwise industrial setting.

Art League of Hilton Head presents Sharing the Spotlight, Paintings by Nancy Vineburgh & Joan Moreau McKeever this May at Art League Gallery. Both artists are from Connecticut and now live in Belfair, but each traveled entirely different roads to becoming artists. This show will encompass their shared love for the Lowcountry, along with paintings that divulge to the viewer the different times and places that they each hold dear. 

Celebrate Beaufort is Coming Soon!

I'm tickled pink to announce that I've written a new cookbook. Book number three, Celebrate Beaufort, will debut on April 19^th. My dear friend, Susan DeLoach, did all of the food and location photography. Celebrate Beaufort is a limited edition and will only be available through my website (www.cateringbydebbicovington.com) and at local bookstores and gift shops.

There will be lots of opportunities for Beaufortonians and visitors to purchase signed copies. Keep reading Lowcountry Weekly and watch social media postings for signing dates and launch events.

The South Carolina Academy of Authors will induct four new writers into the Palmetto State’s literary hall of fame in a weekend featuring an awards dinner, free public conversations, exhibitions, and tours in Beaufort, South Carolina, on April 27–29.
