Due to the pandemic, this year’s event will be a little different, but the folks at Boone Hall are planning to present a setup that allows people to hopefully experience some fall festival fun on the farm. Since the health and safety of their guests is paramount, they will be offering the Boone Hall Pumpkin Patch Family Friendly Monster Hayride as a drive through attraction this year. This will allow families and groups to stay in their vehicles and drive along the hayride trail to view all the exciting scenes with “creatures” and colorful Halloween themed displays along the way, all while avoiding any unnecessary exposure to the virus.
After the hayride, there will be directions to where you can park, so your group can exit your vehicle to explore the corn maze together socially distanced from others.
There will also be an opportunity to pick out that perfect pumpkin for your family. Pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and various colors will be available for purchase from a display area close to the Boone Hall Farms Roadside Produce Stand. Photo opps and festival food options also will be available.
The Pumpkin Patch will be open every Friday-Saturday-Sunday In October during the followind hours:

The 19th annual 2.4 miles Low Country Splash Open Water Swim was held in the Wando
and Cooper rivers on Saturday, September 26, 2020. The event raises funds for the Low Country Aquatics Program (LAPS) which provides free swim lessons to 1500 kids a year.
Seabrook’s own Derek Fyfe was was the oldest (74 years old) of 143 swimmers in this open water swim and came in 2nd place of 4 in the over 70 group. Derek also beat over 25% of the field of men and women of all ages.
Derek says “My success in this, my 6th Splash, was in large part due to working out 3 times a week on the beach with Mark Durinsky and my “MisFit Cam.”
Proceeds from the Spash benefits the Logan Rutledge Children’s Foundation, a local not for profit organization promoting the health and welfare of children in the Lowcountry. The foundation was established in May of 2002 in memory of Logan Jennings Rutledge. Over the years, the Splash has raised over $500,000 for the Logan Rutledge Children’s Foundation. LAPS is the beneficiary of the Lowcountry Splash. To find out more about LAPS, click here.
