Greetings again from Little River, SC! The summer days of heat and sun are beginning to give way to a beautiful, mild autumn. Many consider fall to be the best time of year to visit the Grand Strand. With rain chances decreasing, Fall is an excellent time of year to enjoy shopping, golf, boating and festivals! I hope you had the chance to attend the 7th Annual Little River Shrimp and Jazz Festival. It took place on the waterfront in Little River on October 9, 2011. Fine arts and crafts, children's activities and as is obvious by name, good food and good music.
Brought to you by a host of Sponsors, the festival was a huge success. I spoke to Jennifer, the Director of the Little River Chamber of Commerce and here's what she had to say:
"We have received very positive comments. I believe the testament to doing our job as a Chamber in addition to attracting tourists, was the fact that I personally spoke to several long term residents of Horry County who had never been to Little River. One had called me to ask for directions and he is born and raised in Horry County. The mission of the Little River Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Center is to promote community improvement, tourism and commerce by proactive leadership and community involvement. The Shrimp & Jazz Festival is really a mechanism to attract patrons and “show off” the Little River community. If a percentage of the 5,000 attendees, (both tourists and residents,) come back to visit us on another day, we’ll have succeeded in doing our job."
Held annually on Columbus Day Weekend, the Shrimp and Jazz Fest is quickly becoming the attraction of the year in Little River! Located on the historic waterfront in beautiful Little River, SC this festival provides a family oriented party that is fun for all ages. Entertaiment includes arts and crafts vendors, live Jazz music all day.
This year, there was a drawing for free airline tickets from Myrtle Beach Direct Air and a set of luggage from AAA Vacations. The winner, Mike Williams of Little River is pictured here:
