“… Poor little old human beings—they’re jerked into this world without having any idea where they came from or what it is they are supposed to do, or how long they have to do it in. Or where they are gonna wind up after that. But bless their hearts, most of them wake up every morning and keep on trying to make some sense out of it. Why, you can’t help but love them, can you? I just wonder why more of them aren’t as crazy as betsy bugs.” – Fannie Flagg, “Welcome To The World, Baby Girl!” (NY: Random House, 1998)

The 10th Annual Beaufort River Swim (BRS) will take place Saturday, June 11, 2016 at 9 am. Hosted by the YMCA of Beaufort County, the BRS has grown to almost 200 swimmers participating in either the competitive 3-mile open water swim or the 1-mile, non-competitive Fun Swim.

One Saturday each spring, the normally subdued streets of Old Towne Bluffton explode with excitement. Set for May 7th, the Bluffton Village Festival is now in its 38th year, and like last year, record-breaking attendance is a big likelihood.
