Kiawah Arts Council New Ticketing System

Posted on July 17, 2019 by

The Kiawah Arts Council is upgrading its ticket software to better serve you.

Over the past year, the Arts Council has been overjoyed to see record registrations for their events. In an effort to make each event accessible to those who most want to attend, they will be utilizing a NEW online-only ticket system and charging a $10 fee for more events in the 2019/2020 season which begins in July 2019. They believe these changes will improve the experience for all attendees. Tickets will no longer be available through the Kiawah Island Town Hall.

Changes include:

  • Kiawah property owners will have online access to their early release tickets
  • Electronic ticket scanners will replace cumbersome check-in processes
  • All tickets will be purchased through a secure, user friendly online system

To learn more about the changes we are making to the ticketing policy, click here .

Deer Update

Posted on July 16, 2019 by

Many Seabrook Island residents have reported seeing a deer with a trash can lid stuck around her neck.

The deer is a doe with two fawns. SIPOA brought an animal control specialist to the island on Friday to attempt to catch the deer and remove the trash can lid, but they were unsuccessful.

Today SIPOA requested assistance from SCDNR and they sent a wildlife officer to try to help the deer. The SCDNR officer observed the deer and sent photos to their biologist. The deer is walking and appears otherwise healthy. The biologist advised that the deer be left alone. SCDNR noted that the deer is able to move freely and eat, even with the impediment on her neck. The doe’s ribs are showing a little bit, but weight loss is not unusual for a doe that has had two fawns in the summer.

People have suggested that the deer be tranquilized so the lid can be removed from around her neck. SCDNR does not recommend using tranquilizers on the deer because it would pose a risk to the deer’s life, as well as to the two fawns. Deer are fragile, and tranquilizing could kill the deer and even kill the fawns if they drink milk from the tranquilized doe.

SCDNR recommends leaving the deer alone to allow her time to remove the trash can lid on her own.
