“as one of the greatest honors of representing the Second District of South Carolina, I will soon be in Beaufort, the Palmetto State's second oldest city and the home of Second Congressional District Communications Director Wesley Denton attending the 48th annual Beaufort County Water Festival. I will join Geordie Madlinger, this year's Commodore, in this historic celebration of South Carolina's Lowcountry, which takes place in Beaufort's Waterfront Park. Southern hospitality, Lowcountry culture, and family traditions are all on full display at each year's festivities. The Water Festival brings together young and old from all over the Lowcountry to enjoy dances and concerts, fine arts and crafts, an antique show, boat races, sporting events of all kinds, historic home and museum tours, the Blessing of the Fleet, a grand parade and a Lowcountry Supper with fresh local seafood. Each summer I enjoy spending time at the lemonade social at the home of South Carolina State Representative Catherine Ceips and this year attending the Change of Command Ceremony hosted by Brantley and Helen Harvey. Also, I would like to commend Beaufort Mayor Bill Rauch, Greater Beaufort Chamber of Commerce's Executive Director Libby Barnes, and Beaufort County Council's Vice Chairman Skeet Von Harton for their hard work in making this year's festival a success. I ask all of my colleagues to join me in wishing the residents of Beaufort County a wonderful 48th Annual Water Festival.”
