The 10k (6.2 mile) course winds its way through 5 distinct historic districts and the 5k (3.1 mile) course touches 4 districts – all under the shade of moss covered oaks and lined with Azaleas bursting into bloom.

The run has become one of the most highly anticipated events on our calendar as participants
enjoy the still cool temperatures and get to experience the colors and smells of spring in some of our most beautiful neighborhoods. This year an added bonus will be the use of the newly remodeled fort in Forsyth Park for registration.

“We sponsor this race because it creates awareness of HSF’s mission in addition to showcasing a number of the historic districts in our community,” says David Paddison, President of Seacrest Partners, “Historic Savannah Foundation is a critical component in making sure that Savannah retains the character and charm that defines us. The Race for Preservation is a great way to educate people about HSF and raise the funds to continue the work we do.”

Hopefully you are ready to run the 10k or 5k with us – or if you cannot run, there is always the 5k walk!
And if you just cannot seem to run or walk, we hope you will still join us and enthusiastically cheer on the runners and walkers!

Registration is $25. Advance registration is recommended, but you can register on Race Day. Forms can
be found at www.historicsavannahfoundation.org, HSF’s office, Fleet Feet or you can register online at www.active.com.

WHAT: 2nd Annual Hilton Head Island Art Festival at Shelter Cove Harbour

WHEN: Saturday, May 29, 10:00 am – 6:00 pm and Sunday, May 30, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

WHERE: Shelter Cove Harbour, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina – Navigational address: 1 Harbourside Lane, Shelter Cove Harbour, Hilton Head Island, SC 29938

WHY: To Support the Arts and the Local Community

ADMISSION:  Free and open to the public

WEBSITE: www.artfestival.com

CONTACT INFORMATION: info@artfestival.com or 954-472-3755

Hilton Head, South Carolina (February 1, 2010) – Hilton Head Island Art Festival at Shelter Cove Harbour returns to Hilton Head Island, May 29 – 30, with an eclectic mix of the country’s top established artists as well as new and emerging talent. The artistic media represented include paintings, life size sculptures, photography, glass, wood, jewelry, collage and ceramics.  This first-class art affair appeals to families, art enthusiasts and serious art buyers hoping to enhance their collections. Prices range from $25 hand-designed earrings to $20,000 metal sculptures. Admission is free and open to the public.

“We are a national touring art festival company based in South Florida with customers from all over the country.  We came to Hilton Head for the first time last year after many requests from some of our best clients,” says festival promoter Howard Alan. “We are happy to bring an event of this caliber to Hilton Head Island and thrilled it is now an annual tradition.”

“We’re thrilled to host the Hilton Head Island Art Festival again this year at Shelter Cove,” said Bret Martin, vice president of operations at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island, S.C. “This event delighted residents and visitors last year with a wide range of talent. Shelter Cove Harbour will once again serve as an ideal location to showcase original work by talented artists and artisans from around the country.”

The festival gives artists an opportunity to exhibit their work and make their businesses grow; many have given up professional careers, trading in their dress shoes for sandals.  The artists, local merchants, restaurants and hotels all benefit from the festival, which drives additional guests and dollars to the community.  Howard Alan, founder of Howard Alan Events, advocates the importance of supporting the arts and artists because this in turn helps the local economy.  “Art is a tangible investment that you can enjoy as it appreciates in value,” explains Alan.  He admits that while people may be more conservative in their buying habits, holding off on exotic vacations and new cars, they are still treating themselves to jewelry and art.

The artists will line Shelter Cove Harbour with their gallery style display booths transforming this popular waterfront shopping and dining destination into a high end outdoor art gallery.  All of the artists will be present for the duration of the show allowing the public a wonderful opportunity to interact with them and discuss their creations and inspiration.

The artists were juried by an independent panel of expert judges, and hand-selected from hundreds of applicants based on quality and diversity. All of the artwork is original and handmade in America. The Hilton Head Island Art Festival at Shelter Cove Harbour makes the arts accessible to a broad audience.

About Howard Alan Events, Ltd.: Howard Alan Events, a Florida-based company, develops and presents art and craft shows throughout the country. For the past 25 years, Howard Alan Events has produced some of the nation’s finest juried art shows, including more than 40 venues each year such as the Downtown Aspen Art Festival (Aspen, CO), Beaver Creek Art Festival (Beaver Creek, CO), Downtown Naples Art Festival (Naples, FL), Chicago Tribune Magnificent Mile Art Festival (Chicago, IL), and the Las Olas Art Fair, (Fort Lauderdale, FL).

Dean Forest Road Improvements Officially Underway in Garden City

January 25th, 2010

 

First Phase of Chatham County-Funded Project Expected to Be Completed

By December 2010

GARDEN CITY, Ga. – Road improvements along Dean Forest Road in Garden City have officially begun. The project, which is funded by Chatham County, is expected to be completed in three phases, significantly improving the stretch of roadway from I-16 to Ogeechee Road.

 “This project is being paid for by Chatham County, rather than the Department of Transportation, which is extremely unusual,” said Brian Johnson, City Manager of Garden City. “We appreciate the fact that Chatham County officials made the decision to keep this project on the capital improvement list.”

 The first phase, overseen by Chatham County engineer Al Bungard, involves grading and installing three arched bottomless culverts along the Hardin Canal area near the Dead Man’s Curve on Dean Forest Road. Phase one will improve significantly roadway drainage along Dean Forest Road. That portion of the project is expected to be completed by December 2010.

 The second and third phases of the project, which may be undertaken simultaneously in the future, involve widening Dean Forest Road from two lanes to four lanes with a median from Ogeechee Road to the Dead Man’s Curve area near the Hardin Canal and from the Dead Man’s Curve area to I-16. Traffic signals and new turn lanes will also be installed at the intersection of Dean Forest and Ogeechee Road.

 The stretch of Dean Forest that runs from I-16 to the Hillcrest Abbey West Cemetery, located at 1336 Dean Forest Rd., will conform to an urban design standard, which includes a tree-lined shoulder, landscaped median and sidewalks for pedestrians and bicyclists.

 “The area of Dean Forest Road that runs past the Garden City Town Center and the Southbridge entrance will have a much warmer, pedestrian-friendly feel,” said Johnson. “We want to emphasize the rich community heritage of Garden City and to help make our new town center a true destination in Chatham County.”

 The improvements along Dean Forest Road reflect the larger changes taking place in Garden City. This West Chatham County municipality opened a new City Hall and Garden City Town Center in 2009, which Governor Sonny Perdue hailed as “a shining example” for the rest of Georgia.

 “We’re delighted to see these road improvements taking shape,” said Johnson. “This is one of a number of exciting changes we expect to see in Garden City in 2010 and beyond.”
