Spoleto Festival-
http://www.spoletousa.org
Charleston's Spoleto Festival 2005 runs from May27 - June12. This arts
festival attracts world class opera, dance, theater, music, artist and
sculptures. Out of town visitors plan their trips to the festival
years in advance. This makes finding hotel reservation a difficult task
should you decide to make a spontaneous trip to Charleston during this 17 day
event.

Cooper River Bridge Run-
http://www.bridgerun.com
The "last" Cooper River Bridge Run was sold out with over 42,000 runners
participating. It
was truly amazing to see so many runners turn out and begin the event in
such poor weather
conditions. The weather, however,
did cooperate and started improving right at the start of the race time. Each runner was assigned a
number and given a commemorative race chip. This race chip was laced
onto the runner's shoe
and was theirs to keep.
The commemorative, Cooper River Bridge Run, race chip transponder was activated when the runner crossed the starting line and
then deactivated at the finish line. This computer chip was used to
keep track of the
runner's time and is now
a small part of history.

The Summerville Flower Town Festival is growing larger each year.
There were approximately 225,000 people in attendance in 2005. This
festival is fun for people of all ages. You will find more than 200 local
vendors selling their arts and crafts. This is a great place to
Christmas shop or find the perfect lowcountry painting for

The Blessing of the Fleet is held at Mt. Pleasant's, Alhambra Hall, which is
located in the Old Village. At the festival, you will find
Shem creek's commercial shrimp boats and crews parading by for the annual blessing.
The blessing is for safety while out at sea and for a bountiful harvest. The boats are decorated and pass by
the local clergy while everyone
prays for their safety.

Sullivan's Island Oyster
Festival-
http://www.sullivansisland-sc.com
The Sullivan's Island Fire and Rescue department holds its annual oyster
roast on the first Saturday in November. This oyster roast is my
favorite and it supports such a great cause the Sullivan's Island Fire and
Rescue. You will find plenty of
food and fun even if you don't like to eat oysters.

Family Circle Cup Tennis-
http://www.familycirclecup.com
The Daniel Island Family Circle Cup Tennis facility is host to America's oldest
all-women's professional tier one tennis tournament event. This week long event
is very family oriented and is
held during the month of April. The Family Circle Cup event always attracts
plenty of the top women's tennis
professionals from all over the world. I would image the 1.3 million dollars
in prize money might be a good enough reason for them to accept the
tournament's invitation to attend.
The 10,200 seat stadium court provides everyone in attendance a great venue
for watching the best women's tennis. The week long event brings over
100,000 spectators to cheer some of the world's finest women's tennis
professionals.

net proceeds from the run/walk to the local prevention of child abuse and
other child related programs
