The Golden Isles of GA offers numerous cultural outlets

Oct. 6, 2008
Categorized in: Just for Fun!

Our area boasts a strong awareness of the arts with numerous galleries featuring our many local artists who have landed in this picturesque area. Cheryl Fisher, a REALTOR® in our office, is pleased to invite anyone to come view her husband’s watercolor display at the Brunswick Library. Bob Fisher is the featured artist for the month and his work will be on display through October 31st. Perhaps it is due to the natural beauty that is so prevalent with the marsh vistas, ancient, moss draped oaks and sandy beaches. Nevertheless, for a relatively small community, you can enjoy local artist’s talents, musical concerts and community theatre. 

A local group, The Island Players, has  been bringing live theatre to Coastal GA since 1956. Their productions are held at the Island Casino Theatre in the Village on St. Simons Island and have given local talent a venue for so many years. I am including a link to the group’s website, if any of you would like to see what productions are planned and when. Their next production is Annie Get Your Gun beginning October 31-November 16th.

By the way, our real estate office is also located in the Village Area, and I would love to have you come by and check us out, too! We are so pleased to meet new friends and have area maps available. Our sister company, Beachcomber Buggies is right next door and the electric gem cars are a fun and easy way to cruise the Island. 

What's Cookin' in Southeast Coastal GA?

Sep. 10, 2008
Categorized in: Brunswick Information

What’s cooking is a competition to find the best Brunswick stew entry out of 50+ teams’ best effort. The annual Brunswick Rockin’ Stewbilee event will be held on October 17th and 18th at Mary Ross Waterfront Park in downtown Brunswick, GA. In addition to good food, the well known and popular band KC & The Sunshine Band will entertain with some new tunes and old favorites such as GET DOWN TONIGHT, THAT’S THE WAY I LIKE IT and SHAKE YOUR BOOTY. If moving and grooving to those songs is not enough action, a 5K race is planned, a car show and vendors with their best arts and crafts. 

 A link follows if you’d like to read more on making a trip for this fun event. I must say, October and November are unusually great months to enjoy the Golden Isles.
 
 
I am assuming that everyone knows about the rivalry between Brunswick, GA and Brunswick County in southern Virginia.  Here in Glynn County we state that the first Brunswick Stew was cooked on nearby St. Simons Island in 1898. Natives of Brunswick County, VA, claim that a Virginia state legislator invented the recipe in 1928 on a hunting expedition and everyone was immediately hooked. No one can say with a certainty which actually made the meaty concoction first, but we definitely know how to make it now. My oldest son and daughter operate Beachcomber BBQ, and have their version which is a very popular item on the menu.  
 
Plan a visit to the Golden Isles of GA this Fall and see why so many others have chosen to make it their home.
