About Georgetown County, SC

As many of you know, Myrtle Beach South Carolina held Fox New's Republican Debate last night and will be hosting the Democratic Debate

in the next two weeks. It was awesome to see what a great job the Mrytle Beach Chamber of Commerce and South Carolina Republican Party's local and state chapters did to welcome our visitors.

The Sand Sculpture of the Candidates was a work of art and will be up for viewing for a few more days. The Teamsandtastic once again went beyond our expectations and I can't wait to see what they do for the the Democrat Candidates.

Whether you are Republican or Democrat we are so blessed to live in this Country! Just to be part of the election process is a privilege we all need to appreciate and honor it. Events like this remind us everywhere that America is the best and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else and being a resident of South Carolina is a plus.

With the holiday season behind us and winter days ahead, we all search for ways to pass the time and feed our minds. Coastal Carolina University offers us great options with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

This grant is presented to 114 Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes (OLLI) on colleges and campuses in 48 states, and Coastal Carolina University has nicknamed the program "OLLI at Coastal".
