After pouring over nearly 5,000 entries, we’re thrilled to announce that the winners of our weekend Winter Getaway to Beaufort contest are Mindy & Mike Roark from Columbus, Ohio.
We asked contestants why they want to take a winter visit to Beaufort SC, and we read hundreds of stories in response.
“Beaufort holds many special memories for us,” Mindy Roark said in her entry.
“A road trip visit with my mom. A day trip from a vacation in Charleston and two Parris Island graduations with my two Marine sons.”
“I fell in love with Beaufort through Pat Conroy’s novels long before I ever visited the first time, but after visiting during the Water Fewtival and seeing the Beaufort National Cemetery, I am forever smitten,”
“I can’t wait to go back.”
Beaufort is happy to welcome you back, Mindy, in style.
The Roarks win a free weekend stay at the beautiful Mermaid Cottage, along with free dinners at Panini’s on the Waterfront and Breakwater Restaurant & Bar, and a free carriage tour through historic downtown with the fine folks at Southurn Rose Buggy Tours.
But, most of all, they’ll be making memories right here in Beaufort SC.
We’re happy to get these folks out of Ohio and help them “escape the winter blues” with a visit to beautiful Beaufort SC.
Congratulations, and we know you’ll enjoy your weekend in Beaufort!
