No, I'm not talking about all the cops on the road. It's Prudential Source One Properties Open House Blitz! Pawleys Island, S.C.,Georgetown S.C. and Murrells Inlet, S.C. properties will be featured. The biggest challenge is finding agents to sit the open listings. Anyone want to fly to Myrtle Beach this weekend? Last month, as a result of our open house blitz, we had 75 showings and 2 contracts in 2 days and we're looking to SHATTER that record this Saturday and Sunday.
I will post an update so stay tuned.

During the week of April 21, tickets will be sold in the lobby from 9 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday. Limited tickets at the door will be $5. Children 12 and under will be admitted free.

In only its second year, Tastes at Pawleys is already a popular community event that showcases our great restaurants while benefiting charities that feed the hungry and nourish the lives of many in our Waccamaw Neck area.

Last April's inaugural food festival attracted over 2,000 young people and adults who sampled the 20 restaurants' fares, sipped a glass of wine or beer while they listened to entertainer Bil Krauss and had a great time with their friends and neighbors. With the help of our sponsors, participating restaurants and many volunteers, the inaugural Tastes at Pawleys donated $67,000 to Father Pat's Lunch Kitchen, Outreach Farm and Baskervill Ministries' Food Pantry. (See Beneficiaries page for a description of the 2008 charities.)

There's plenty of parking with attendants to help you find a spot and volunteers to take you from your car to the festival in our golf cart limos.

Be sure to check out the door prizes-4 32" LCD HDTVs.

This year we'll have tents on both sides of the Parish Life Center.

Bil Krauss will be entertaining in the tent on the right. The tents on the left will let parents eat out of the sun while keeping an eye on their children in the playground.

Our Young Families in Faith organization will have its Build a Sundae booth near the playground.
