and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream.”

Meet your new Mayor

Charleston Christmas Parade, Charleston, SC   

I happened to be in town for brunch and finished up just as the Christmas parade was starting and spotted our newly elected mayor John Tecklenburg and his wife Sandy. Behind them I was pleased to see the bagpipe band with my friend Karen playing.

Eutawville Village Festival

Eutawville Village Festival, Eutawville, S.C.

How cute is this!? Eutawville is a small town on the banks of Lake Marion and since I was up in that neck of the woods kayaking this weekend I made a point of being in town for the parade. I was checking out the porch sale at the Parish House when I heard ladies saying they had to get out because they didn't want to get caught in the parade traffic. Heheh.

I could guess that there is a higher percentage of golf carts per household in Eutawville than almost anywhere else. They should be able to break a record in decorated golf cart parades. The horses were a nice touch but there should be a lot more of them as well. Eutawville had their Village Festival on the weekend after July 4th so everything was decorated in a patriotic theme.
