37th Annual
Loris Bog-Off Festival
Saturday, October 15, 2016
The Loris Chamber of Commerce sponsors the Loris Bog-Off
Festival each year on the third Saturday in October in downtown
Loris. The event is a day packed with entertainment, vendors, food,
and fun for all ages. The festival began in 1980 as a chicken bog
cooking contest and has evolved into the huge event it is today.
Chicken bog generally consists of chicken, rice, sausage and spices
of your choice; though over the years there have been many variations of this basic recipe.
If you chose not to create your own pot of chicken bog, the
Jamestown Chefs are always on site to provide plates of the southern cuisine at a reasonable price. After all these years the cooking
contest is still considered the main focus of the day but is accompanied by over 200 vendors, two stages of entertainment and a huge
children’s area. The stage performances include local dance
schools, school choruses and local bands. The festival ends with a
fireworks extravaganza and a free concert from a national act. If you
briefly are unable to find entertainment to your liking, the many craft
and retail vendors will keep you busy. After you have dined on the
Jamestown Chefs chicken bog, enjoy a funnel cake or homemade
ice cream from one of the many food vendors.
The Loris Bog-Off Festival is sponsored by local businesses and
anticipated by residents from both of the Carolinas. If you have
never feasted on the southern delicacy and love a festive atmosphere this is the place to be on the third Saturday in October with the
35,000 others that won’t miss the event. Make plans to join us for
this great festival; you will not be disappointed.

Ch AMb e r Of COMMe r Ce :
The Little River Chamber of Commerce &
Visitors Center's primary objective is to
make the Little River are an even better place to live, work and play. The
mission of the Little Rive Chamber
of Commerce & Visitors Center is
to promote community improvement, tourism and commerce by
proactive leadership and community involvement.
We are a membership organization
supported by more than 300 businesses and nonprofit organizations.
These organizations and the business
leaders representing them, join together for the purpose of promoting civic
and economic progress of our community. The Little River area's economic success and quality of life is directly impacted
by the work the chamber performs, and
unlike most chambers nationwide, the Little
River Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center
administers local necessities in the absence of a
municipality.
To promote the community, the chamber is charged with organizing special
events during the shoulder seasons. The Little River ShrimpFest and the
World Famous Blue Crab Festival are our 2 premier festivals providing an economic impact of more than 3.2 million dollars. Many people come to Little
River for the first time to attend these events. We know that once they get a
taste of what we have to offer, they will be back again to create new experiences and memories.
Because of our unique position in the community, the chamber is charged with
reinvesting proceeds from our festivals back into the community. Projects
include sponsoring the Waccamaw Cooperative Farmer's Market and Movies
in your Park at Vereen Memorial Gardens, maintaining the Welcome to Little
River signs at the entrances to our community, supporting the Volunteer Fire
Department, advertising Little River in the South Carolina Welcome Centers to
name a few.

Over more than three decades, photographer Celia Pearson has
achieved national recognition for her images of architectural spaces
and her fine art photographs of the natural world. Two recent trips
to Southeast Asia inspired her to create a series of works in a new
and distinctly fluid style, using silk and rice paper in addition to cotton rag paper as the media for her interpretations of the ancient cultures she encountered. A collection of these works, titled Celia
Pearson's Layerings: A Glimpse of Southeast Asia, is on exhibit at
the Franklin G. Burroughs - Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum and will
run through December 30, 2016.
Profoundly inspired by her travels through Cambodia, Thailand and
Vietnam, Pearson felt one of the best ways to express the richness
and complexity of the cultures and the treasures she witnessed was
through photomontages, and she chose the title Layerings because,
as she writes, "I felt such depth not only in the places and their people but in my response to them."
Among the dramatic experiences in her travels was a trek on a
moonless night by tuk-tuk (a motorcycle with cart) to the worldfamous Angkor Wat Buddhist temple complex in Cambodia, a
UNESCO world heritage site normally filled with thousands of
tourists. Pearson and her mother found themselves almost completely alone in the softly illuminated 12th - century complex.
Creating photomontages was a new experience for Pearson, as was
creating photographic prints on silk and rice paper. "The transparency
and the fluidity of these materials seemed to be a way to express my
sense of layerings," Pearson writes. "In addition...there are no
frames. Yet another first. To box in these moments seemed antithetical to their nature. My experience was immediacy, of everything
open to the air, of fluidity."
Her images, many of them in large scale, often combine the massive
with the intimate, such as glimpses of huge stone walls and carved
facades with the tiny detail of a small child tucked into a temple
niche. Others combine the detail of an exquisite carved figure juxtaposed with the larger, more abstract waves of an undulating,
carved stone wall. Other images capture otherworldly scenes of jungle vegetation, some of undoubtedly centuries old that offer a surrealism of their own.
Pearson's work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions over
the past two decades around the Eastern United States. A series of
fine-art photographs of found glass fragments formed the subject
matter for a 2004 book titled Pure Sea Glass and a 2013 exhibition
at the Art Museum titled Celia Pearson: Glass Transformed, A
Photographer Explores Sea Glass.
Other exhibits opening in October at the Art Museum are the 39th
Annual South Carolina Watermedia Society Juried Exhibition
(October 8 through November 27, 2016) and Logan Woodle:
Blessed Burdens (October 13 through December 30, 2016).

*s ATu r DAY, October 8 (12 - 2 pm) – Geraldine b rooks
(The s ecret Chord) at Pawleys Plantation, $45 (includes book)
A master of bringing the past alive, Pulitzer Prize winner (March) and
international bestseller (Caleb’s Crossing) Geraldine Brooks seems
able to time travel. Sometimes, reading her work, she draws you so
thoroughly into another era that you swear she’s actually lived in it.
Peeling away the myth to bring the Old Testament’s King David to
life in Second Iron Age Israel, Brooks traces the arc of his journey
from obscurity to fame, from shepherd to soldier, from hero to traitor,
from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and
diminished dotage. The Secret Chord provides new context for
some of the best-known episodes of David’s life while also focusing
on others that have been neglected. We see David through the eyes
of those who love him or fear him – from the prophet Natan, voice of
his conscience, to his wives Mikhal, Avigail, and Batsheva, and finally to Solomon, the late-born son who redeems his Lear-like old age.
Brooks has an uncanny ability to hear and transform characters from
history, and this beautifully written, unvarnished saga of faith, desire,
family, ambition, betrayal, and power will enthrall her many fans.
This special Saturday Moveable Feast is $45 (including the book),
and will begin with lunch at noon, followed by Brooks’ presentation
and book signing.
October 14 – e rika Marks
(The l ast Treasure) and Marybeth Whalen
(The Things We Wish Were True) at Kimbel’s, Wachesaw
It’s been almost a decade since Liv, Whit and Sam were together.
The three students became fast friends over their fascination with
the lost schooner Patriot, which disappeared of the coast of North
Carolina in 1813. Liv is particularly interested in the fate of passenger Theodosia Burr, daughter of Aaron Burr; there have been rumors
about Theodosia and the wreck for over 200 years. But the little
group breaks up when Liv falls for the charismatic Whit, leaving Sam
out in the cold. Now, Liv has left her obsession with the Patriot
behind to concentrate on her diving career and her increasingly contentious marriage to Whit. When Liv is able to read a diary written by
Theodosia Burr at a museum, she gets caught up in the excitement
of the search again and the three old friends reunite in another
attempt to find the ship. The real star of this story is the Patriot and
all the rumors surrounding Theodosia Burr.
From the author of The Mailbox (which sent numerous readers in
search of it on the North Carolina coast) comes a novel about an
idyllic small-town neighborhood when a near-tragedy triggers a
series of dark revelations. From the outside, Sycamore Glen, NC,
might look like the perfect all-American neighborhood. But behind
the white picket fences lies a web of secrets that reach from house
to house. Up and down the streets, neighbors quietly bear the weight
of their own pasts until an accident at the community pool upsets the
delicate equilibrium. And when tragic circumstances compel a
woman to return to Sycamore Glen after years of self-imposed banishment, the tangle of the neighbors’ intertwined lives begins to
unravel. During the course of a sweltering summer, long-buried
secrets are revealed, and the neighbors learn that it’s impossible to
really know those closest to us. But is it impossible to love and forgive them?
October 21 – Janice Y. K. l ee
(The e xpatriates) at Ocean One, l itchfield
Following her New York Times bestselling debut (The Piano
Teacher) where she was described as a “female, funny Henry James
in Asia,” Lee’s long-awaited new novel explores the emotions, identities and relationships of three very different American women living
in the same small expat community in Hong Kong. Mercy, a young
Korean American and recent Columbia graduate, is adrift, undone
by a terrible incident in her recent past. Hilary, a wealthy housewife,
is haunted by her struggle to have a child, something she believes
could save her foundering marriage. Meanwhile, Margaret, once a
happily married mother of three, questions her maternal identity in
the wake of a shattering loss. As each woman struggles with her
own demons, their lives collide in ways that have irreversible consequences for them all. Atmospheric, moving and utterly compelling,
The Expatriates confirms Lee as an exceptional talent and one of
our keenest observers of women’s inner lives.
October 28 – Mary Alice Monroe
(A l owcountry Christmas) at Pawleys Plantation
Lucky us! Two Mary Alice books in one year! In this poignant continuation of the Lowcountry Summer series, a wounded warrior and his
younger brother discover the true meaning of Christmas. As far as
ten-year-old Miller McClellan is concerned, it’s the worst Christmas
ever. His father’s shrimp boat is docked, his mother is working two
jobs, and with finances strained, Miller is told they can’t afford the
dog he desperately wants. “Your brother’s return from war is our
family’s gift,” his parents tell him. But when Taylor returns with
PTSD, family strains darken the holidays. Then Taylor’s service dog
arrives – a large black Labrador/Great Dane named Thor. His brother even got the dog! When Miller goes out on Christmas Eve with his
father’s axe, determined to get his family the tree they can't afford,
he takes the dog for company – but accidentally winds up lost in the
wild forest. The splintered family must come together to rediscover
their strengths, family bond, and the true meaning of Christmas.
*s ATu r DAY, October 29 – Jon Meacham
(Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of
George h erbert Walker b ush) at Pawleys Plantation,
$50 (includes book)
From Pulitzer Prize winner and #1 New York Times bestselling
author of American Lion, Franklin and Winston and Thomas
Jefferson: The Art of Power, Jon Meacham, comes Destiny and
Power, a sweeping yet intimate biography of George H. W. Bush.
Meacham has had the kind of charmed professional life that other
journalists can only envy: Newsweek managing editor at 29; editor
at 37; author of four books, the latest, American Lion: Andrew
Jackson in the White House, awarded the Pulitzer Prize last year in
biography; currently executive editor and executive vice president at
Random House. Destiny and Power reflects the qualities of both
subject and biographer: judicious, balanced, deliberative, with a
deep appreciation of history and the personalities who shape it. His
kinder, gentler approach succeeds in making George H. W. Bush a
more sympathetic – and more complex – figure than if the former
president had written his own doorstopper. A portion of the proceeds
of this Moveable Feast will benefit Hobcaw Barony.

Two Hundred Junior Golfers To Play In The
48th Annual George Holliday
Memorial Junior Golf Tournament
Myrtle b each n ational Golf Club Will Again h ost The Prestigious
Thanksgiving Weekend e vent
Jamie Wilburn, LHWH Advertising and PR
The 48th Annual George Holliday Memorial Junior Golf Tournament
will be held at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
on November 24-26, 2016. Myrtle Beach National is one of 22 golf
courses owned by Founders Group International, the foremost golf
course owner-operator company in the Southeastern United States.
Hundreds of golfers, ages 10 to 18, will play in the event, which is
the third-oldest junior golf tournament in South Carolina.
The junior championship is held in memory of George Judson
Holliday, III, of Galivants Ferry, S.C., who won a number of junior and
collegiate golf tournaments in the 1960s. Holliday had often credited
his involvement in golf with helping to shape his life and character.
After he died in a car crash at the age of 22 in November 1967, his
family started the tournament in his honor the following the year.
The boys' division consists of four age levels: 10-11, 12-13, 14-15
and 16-18 years of age. There are three age brackets in the girls'
division: 10-12, 13-14 and 15-18 years of age. All golfers who are 18
must still be enrolled in high school to participate.
"This tournament provides juniors with an opportunity to experience
the kind of high-level competition that George felt was so important
to his development as a young person," said Brad Crumling, head
golf professional at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club. "So, it's a great
honor for us to host such a prestigious event again in 2016. We've
seen some of today's most impressive young golfers come through
this tournament over the years. PGA TOUR and LPGA golfers Lucas
Glover, D.J. Trahan and Kristy McPherson once competed in this
junior field; and in the future, we expect to see more of our tournament participants emerge to play on those big stages. "
More than 10,000 golfers from across the Americas have visited
Myrtle Beach to particpate in the event. In 2015, golfers came from
Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
Wisconsin, and Mexico.
Last year's Boys Overall Champion was Blake Taylor from Atkinson,
North Carolina. The Girls Overall Champion was Ashley Czarnecki
from Greenville, South Carolina.
The public is invited to attend the tournament at no charge. More
information about the event is available at www.mbn.com/golfevents/george-holliday-jr.-tournament or by calling Myrtle Beach
National at 843-448-2308.
