Happy St. Patrick's Day from Hilton Head Island"

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.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Where Can You Play in the Snow and Listen to Bob Marley

Hilton Head Island declared Saturday January 23 as the Official Snow Day. Yes on Hilton Head Island you can play in the snow in Shelter Cove Park and listen to the music of Bob Marley. Parents and Grandparents enjoy playing with the children. If you missed the celebration you'll need to wait until next January.

New Years Day was a little chilly here but it did not deter the Polar Bear Club from starting off 2010 with a dip in the Atlantic Ocean.

Happy New Year to All
