Lowcountry Cuisine on Menu at Morris Center for Lowcountry Heritage in Ridgeland, SC

Exhibit Opens with Cook-off, Live Music, Kid Zone

Roots: The Lowdown on Lowcountry Cuisine, the upcoming exhibit at the Morris Center for Lowcountry Heritage, opens with a day full of festivities, including a community cook-off, on April 30, 2016 from 11 am to 5 pm. The event is family friendly with a kid zone, food trucks, live music, workshops, local artisans and living history reenactments.

The community cook-off is an opportunity for anyone to show off their culinary skills in two categories: Lowcountry Boil and Barbeque. Entries can be cooked on site or brought to the event already cooked. Either way, the dishes will be judged by a select panel and prizes will be awarded. Those who want to participate in the community cook-off should call the Morris Center to sign up before April 20, 2016.

For more information call 843-284-9227 or visit Morrisheritagecenter.org.

Fall is a great time to visit Walt Disney World. Lower crowds, cooler temperatures, and lots of exciting special events!

Marvel at millions of glittering lights perfectly synchronized to holiday music. The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights is a breathtaking display along the Streets of America inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Since 1995 this treasured holiday tradition has delighted families but earlier this year Disney announced that 2015 is the final showing of this stunning holiday display.

It’s not too late to plan a holiday Walt Disney World vacation to experience the Osborne Spectacle of Lights, and all the magic that transforms Disney to the “Merriest Place on Earth”.

The gals at Two Sisters Travel can help your family plan the perfect getaway to enjoy the Osborne Light Disney & other holiday favorites including:

Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party: On select nights in November and December, join some of your favorite Disney Character friends at Magic Kingdom Park for this memorable event featuring a special parade, festive fireworks, Cinderella Castle covered in thousands of twinkling lights, and even some snow.

Resort Decorations: No holiday visit to Walt Disney World will be complete without a tour of the elaborate resort decorations. From the Gingerbread house at Grand Floridian to the giant tree at the Wilderness Lodge, it’s definitely worth spending a few hours checking out all of the amazing decorating. Not to mention… it’s FREE!

Candlelight Processional: Held nightly at Epcot this special holiday event retells the stirring story of Christmas with a celebrity narrator, accompanied by a 50-piece orchestra and mass choir. What better way to get in the Christmas spirit and share the magic of the season. To ensure seating for this unforgettable spectacle, you can participate in a Candlelight Dinner Package which provides guaranteed seating.
