October 8th: A BIG Day in Our Little Town!

It is not very often that we have such an exciting evening in Port Royal. October 8th will be full of fun for everyone.



First, at 5:30 the Old Village Association is hosting a Business After Hours event for the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce-this is a monthly event to enable Chamber members to network and socialize. For non-Chamber members, this is a $20 per person event, for Chamber members, it is $10 per person--here is the trick, it is an oyster roast with all you can eat and drink oysters etc. The event goes from 5:50 till 7PM at Live Oak Park--you must email the Chamber to make sure there are enough fixins--Blakely Williams mailto:blakely@beaufortsc.org. There will be door prizes and other goodies at this event.



Since we have all the networking types in Port Royal, we are also hosting, for the first time in this area--Pecha Kucha--we will be walking down Paris Ave to The Shed at 7 PM for a FREE event; the first event at The Shed in years. PK is sponsored by the Creative Cluster of New Carolina and put on locally by Ian Leslie and Holly Davidson along with a bunch of other folks. PK is Chinese for Sound of Chatter--a semi-formal group of presentations by "artists" who describe their passion--for example: Cotter Ramsey of Allison-Ramsey, Iron Fish, Plums, and the Storyteller from Habersham. Each presenter is given 6 min and 40 seconds to show up to 20 slides, there will be a total of 11 presentations on this first of it;s kind event. For more on PK check out the current issue of Lowcountry Weekly and the attached poster and information sheet.



These are the events that make our area the "Coolest" small town in America, please take an evening and enjoy this special set of fun on our town. I am sorry for this unusually long email but I felt it was important to get this information on your schedules. Joe
