Garrettt aims to incorporate interviews and special segments with the area’s top business leaders as well as hometown heroes and special characters.

 

“I have always loved Beaufort and moved here to be a part of what I know is an incredibly unique community,” Garrett said. “I plan to showcase people of different backgrounds and experiences and really try to highlight that uniqueness that only Beaufort has in the best possible ways. Whether it’s the Homecoming Queen, a star quarterback or the guy down the street everyone knows and loves…we’re interested in getting to know them.”
