Plantation Tours

I do declare….! The Sixty-Ninth Annual Plantation Tour of plantations and town houses in and near Georgetown, will be held March 18 & 19, 2016, just north of historic Charleston, South Carolina.

Sponsored by the Episcopal Church Women of Prince George Winyah Episcopal Church, the tours attract people from all over South Carolina and beyond. Many out-of-towners enjoy overnight weekend accommodations at DeBordieu, the ocean front community located right in between Georgetown and Pawleys Island. If you need help with that, give me a call at 843-455-4523, or email me at TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com and I’ll hook you up with our on-site rental department.

The majority of the plantations and town houses are privately owned and graciously shared with the Diocesan Church Women of Prince George Winyah Parish once per year. A different group of homes is on tour each day.

As part of the tour of pre-Revolutionary and antebellum churches, town houses and plantations, visitors are invited to the Winyah Indigo Society Hall for tea each afternoon.

Home baked goods, original framed art from local artists, many of them members of the church, books from the Georgetown Historical Society, and our award winning cookbook, Plantation Tours and Tastes, will be available for sale in the Parish Hall.

In addition, the annual Oyster Roast & Pig Pickin’ hosted by the Prince George will take place on Friday, March 18th 6:00 pm at The Boat Shed, 211 Church Street, Georgetown. $30 per ticket. Tickets may be purchased with your Tour tickets or through the church office.

Houses will be open from 9:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Please allow a full day for each day’s tour. Histories and maps showing the routes for the day are provided with tickets. Hosts will be happy to answer any questions you may have concerning the houses that are open. Visitors provide their own transportation.

Save the Dates! Spring Events & Festivals

There is virtually something for everyone when it comes to festivals and events in the Pawleys Island area of South Carolina! Starting the new year made me think about some of my favorite upcoming events in Georgetown and Pawleys Island, so I thought you might like to save the dates for some of these. I’ll be posting more specifics about each one later, but here is some information you add to your calendar…

March 1, 2014 Winyah Bay Heritage Festival.

Sponsored by the Georgetown County Historical Society, this event celebrates Winyah Bay’s Rich History. In the early 1900’s, affluent northerners flocked to this area to hunt ducks, deer, quail and hogs, and also to fish with local sportsmen and landowners. This festival pays honor to that southern sporting heritage with hunting, fishing, sporting art, dogs, decoys and firearms. www.winyahbayfestival.org

March 28 & 29, 2014 67^th Annual Plantation Tours

The Plantation Tour features plantations and town houses in and around Georgetown that are privately owned and graciously shared with the Episcopal Church Women of Prince George, Winyah Parish, once per year. A different group of homes is on tour each day. Home baked goods, original framed art from local artists, books from the Georgetown Historical Society and the award-winning cookbook, Plantation Tours and Tastes, will be offered for sale. Advance ticket orders are recommended. www.pgwinyah.com/plantation-tours

Relive the magic of the timeless, soulful sounds of the Temptations, the Supremes, the Four Tops and more, with theatrical panache and inspired arrangements. This event will be held at the Myrtle Beach High School Music & Arts Center beginning at 7:30 PM and lasting until 9:30 PM. www.longbaysympony.com

May 10, 2014 Pawleys Pavilion Reunion

The Tams are set to perform at this year’s Pawleys Pavilion Reunion! Memories of the popular Pawleys Pavilion are rekindled every May and new “memories” built. Whether or not you were fortunate enough to be a part of the “Party of Pawleys Island”, this is your chance. Mark your calendars and help build simple, decent and affordable homes for God’s people in need as this event benefits Habitat for Humanity in Georgetown County. www.facebook.com/PawleysPavilionReunion
