Southport is Full of Activity!

One of the things I love most about this area is that there is always something going on!  Southport hosted another successful Wooden Boat Show this past weekend.  I absolutely loved seeing the boats driving through Southport.  We welcomed the Wounded Warriors last week with flags lining downtown, not to mention the American Flag hanging over the center of the street courtesy of our fire department in town.
Just as these events come to a close we are gearing up for the U.S. Open King Mackerel Tournament that is being held this coming weekend, October 5th and 6th.
There will be music and plenty of activity all weekend long!  Check out this website for a complete list of activity times.  http://www.usopenkmt.com/schedule.htm
See you down at the Southport Marina this weekend!

Filming is Underway!

It has been so exciting this week in Southport!  There are two different colored CREW signs on Howe Street.  Yellow directing Safe Haven crew members to the Yacht Basin and blue directing crew members to Trinity United Methodist Church this morning for the filming of Mary & Martha.

While on an evening walk along the Yacht Basin last night I walked right by Julianne Hough leaving the movie set! A simple trip to Kerr Drug may lead to a Josh Duhamel siting!
