We are celebrating St. Patrick's Day on our island today. We have a parade that starts at Coligny Circle and travels along Pope Avenue to the Sea Pines Circle. It lasts the afternoon. One year we even had Clydesdales.

If there are 39,000 full time residents; approximately 25,000 are in or watch the parade. In the morning you leave your chair along the parade route. It will be there when you return. Restaurants along the way bring their grills, etc outside.

It's a fun day. You should come sometime.

What's Happening on Hilton Head Island

2009-01-28T12:38:00.001-08:00

Snow Day on Hilton Head Island

Small Town USA Just Happens To Be on Hilton Head Island
The town does everything it can to grant the wishes of its residents.
We have Lovely Mild Winters. Our average annual day time temperature is 75 degrees.
On January 24th , 2009 the Town proclaimed an official Snow Day on Hilton Head Island
From 11:00 to 4:00pm in the Park at Shelter Cove. Children had a minimal admission fee; parents and
grandparents can join them for Free. There were booths, jumping machines, slides and a DJ that played
some great music that caused all to walk with a beat to their step. But the main attraction was taking place
in an area of about 50 ft. by 50 ft. Man made snow was falling on residents of all ages. Every 10 minutes
a new group was welcomed into the winter wonder land. You see; we think of everything. When you
Move here from some place up north, and you are missing the frosty winters, we have the tools to warm
your heart.

Greetings from Hilton Head Island!

Now is the time to plan another trip to Hilton Head Island. During the “Sports Season” we experience some of the Island’s best weather. Traditionally days are warm and sunny – perfect for golf, tennis, bicycling, walking on the beach and most other outdoor activities.

Our Sports Season Package may be just what you’re looking for. How about an accommodations and unlimited golf package at Palmetto Dunes Resort for just $99.00 per night per person? The package includes a 4 day/3 night stay in a luxurious villa and golf on one of the three championship courses in the resort!

The sports season is also an excellent time to reconsider real estate opportunities on the Island. Perhaps when you were here last you didn’t have enough time to comfortably make a purchasing decision. During the busy rental season it’s sometimes difficult to see all the properties of interest. Now, when the pace is more relaxed it’s a good time to look again.

Plus, there has never been a better time to look again. Inventories are the best they have been in many years, some sellers are highly motivated and interest rates are historically low. Great selection, lower prices and excellent financing are all available to you at this time!

If you or your friends would like to receive more information on the Sports Package or real estate, please call me toll free at 866-746-3742, ext 815 or email at HandleyTeam@Hargray.com. . We will gladly help you obtain accommodations or any information requested.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and hope you avail yourself once more of the opportunity to enjoy the unique beauty of Hilton Head Island.

Best regards,

Glenn & Jane

*Sports Package price is for double occupancy. Subject to availability and expires 03/15/09.
