October 20, 2008 by Susanne Talentino

For the sixteenth consecutive year, readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine honored Charleston as a Top 10 travel destination in the U.S. Charleston was honored with a No. 2 slot – topped only by San Francisco.

Mary Thornley, Chairman of the Charleston Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, noted that the people of Charleston enjoy welcoming guests, and their hospitality shows, “Charleston is friendly indeed. There is a sense of pride in this place that isn’t found everywhere. Locals love the Charleston area with a passion, and visitors can sense this right from the start.”

In other local rankings, Kiawah Island was lauded as the No. 2 island in North America. Kiawah is in good company with Vancouver and Nantucket rounding out the top three choices.

Additionally, the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island was ranked the No. 3 resort in the mainland US. The top two spots went to Kenwood Inn & Spa in Sonoma and the Inn at Thorn Hill & Spa in Jackson, NH.

Harvest Fest in Charleston, South Carolina

October 18, 2008 by Susanne Talentino

Harvest Fest Offers Autumn Family Fun
Long ago, in agricultural communities of the Southeast, families would gather together in the fall to celebrate the onset of harvest season and give thanks for the plentiful growth of crops by enjoying a day of food, music, dancing, crafts, and games. The harvest season tradition continues this November right here in Charleston, but with a modern touch. In the spirit of the Southern colonial autumn celebrations of days past, Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission hosts Harvest Festival on Saturday, November 1 at Mullet Hall Equestrian Center within Johns Island County Park.

Fall Fun for the Whole Family
C’mon down from 11 to 5 for the best down-home delights like hayrides, a crafters market (great for holiday shopping!), lots of delicious traditional country fare available for purchase, and much more! Dance the day away to live foot-stompin’ bluegrass by five local bluegrass bands. Keep the kids busy with a variety of fun country games and activities such as the stick pony corral, lassoing demonstrations, pumpkin decorating, and scarecrow-making contest. And bring your carved pumpkin for a chance to win a Gold Pass. Old-fashioned down-home cuisine such as barbecue and kettle corn will also be available for purchase as well as icy-cold beverages.

Trail Ride Special
A special addition to this year’s event will be a weekend trail ride. Equestrians are invited to ride the 20-miles of Mullet Hall trails during the day, camp out with their horses at night, and participate in Harvest Festival activities on Saturday. Registration is required by Thursday, October 23.
