Rockin’ Winter Photo Contest

Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park

Winter can be the most beautiful time of the year at Chimney Rock. Leafless trees make for expansive views of Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. The sky is clear; you’re likely to find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the peacefulness. You may even see a critter scamper by you in the forest. Capture that special moment or scene on your camera, enter it in our Winter Wonders Photo Contest and tell us about it. We’ll use the winning entries on our website and Facebook album, and you’ll win some fun prizes. Photos must be taken within the Chimney Rock section of the Park.

Cost: No additional cost to enter.

Battle Buddies, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to providing service dogs to veterans with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries, will be hosting their first annual 1940’s Swingin’ Soirée fundraiser on March 9, 2019, at the Fountain Inn Activities Center at 6:00 p.m.
Dance and dine your way back to the great 1940s era with an era-inspired dinner, the big band sounds of The Greenville Jazz Collective, and the swingin’ moves of the Greenville Lindy Hoppers, who will also provide a group swing dance lesson at the beginning of the evening. We will have WWII relics on display, generously provided by the US Military History Museum. And our beloved, local TV personality, Jamarcus Gaston, will keep the evening flowing as our master of ceremonies. 1940s era-style attire is strongly recommended. There will be prizes for best 1940s costumes, and best swing dance couple. The evening is sure to delight you with feelings of nostalgia.
Tickets are $50 per person and are limited and available through our website www.battlebuddiessc.org. All proceeds go to support our mission. Battle Buddies was established in 2012 by John and Jo Anne Creed. Your support will help our veterans regain their independence and return to civilian life.

Mitchell’s Light is a 501(c)(3) that began with a loss of a loved one and now helps others. Mitchell Gibson, a local fisherman, went missing March 12, 2016 at Lake Richard B Russell and was eventually found and brought home October 27, 2016. It was during this time of loss and hardship that the idea for this foundation was born, to help others in their time of need and to try to ensure that no other family is sitting at that ramp or on that dock, waiting and praying for answers for their loved one that is missing in the lakes and the rivers that we all enjoy.

Due to the success of previous events and the generosity of community members like you, we have been blessed to make a difference in our community and in the lives of those affected with the loss of a loved one in water. Mitchell’s Light has been honored to donate 5 sonar units and an underwater camera to SC DNR Region One, as well as monetary funds to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office and a donation to the SC Foothills Search and Rescue K9 group located in Greenville, SC. Due to the knowledge, insight and connections that we have received since our own personal tragedy, Mitchell’s Light was a driving force in the recovery of Kip Burrell, an Anderson native who went missing in Lake Hartwell on July 15, 2016 and was missing for over two months. Our foundation also assisted in the expenses toward the search that brought closure for the Family of Tyler Spink in 2018. Tyler went missing in Lake Michigan September 5, 2016 and after a year and ten months of waiting and praying, his family was finally able to have that comfort of bringing him home and having a place to grieve.

This wonderful fundraiser will once again help support education, training opportunities and equipment purchases in response to the emergencies and sometimes tragic situations that happen in our communities. Once again, we are honored that Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride and Williamston City Council Member Rockey Burgess will be our honorary Chefs and prepare the Oysters!

This annual fundraising event includes music performed by TAILGATE HOMEBOYS, an ALL YOU CAN EAT Oyster Roast and BBQ, raffles and more! Mark your calendars and join us on March 9, 2019 at 6 pm on the gorgeous shores of Lake Hartwell at Big Water Marina.

Our goals include continued support of our Local Responding Agencies, as well as the purchase of equipment to aid in the search of those that are in an unimaginable situation in our local area. We appreciate your support in making this fundraiser a true success for 2019 and many years to come!

Tickets can be purchased through Event Brite (Event Brite does charge a small processing fee) or contact Jenny Pierce at 864-844-3602 or Kelly Johnson at 864-276-1816.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Mar 9 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Oakbrook Preparatory School

The first collaboration of musical giants Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice to be performed, this musical is considered one of the most successful and influential musicals in the world. It is estimated that, since its first performance in 1968, JATATD has been performed in nearly 20,000 schools or local theatres, by over 700,000 performers of all ages, and entertained more than 9 million people.
Based on “Joseph and his coat of many colors,” it is told almost entirely by song and dance. JATATD is a crazy song and dance party, sampling music of the 50’s, some steel drum Calypso, hip hop, ragtime, disco, French ballad, and there’s even a western hoedown.
JATATD is a must-see classic!
