SUMMARY:Saint Peter’s Catholic Church 63rd Annual Fall Bazaar 
DESCRIPTION:One of Beaufort’s most popular fall events returns on October 7\, 2023\, from 10:00 AM until 3:00 PM. The Saint Peter’s Catholic Church Annual Fall Bazaar will once again provide friends and families with a delightful day of delectable food\, mouthwatering libations\, irresistible arts and crafts\, enchanting auction items\, and children’s games\, activities\, and petting zoo. \nEntrance to the bazaar is free and open to the public.  \nAs in years past\, the bazaar will feature scrumptious international foods from several countries. For those desiring more sugary treats\, the ever-popular Sweet Shoppe will provide cakes\, pies\, cookies\, and other satisfying delicacies. \nBeer and wine will be available for purchase. Cold soft drinks and water\, sponsored by Habersham Land Company\, will also keep participants hydrated. \nAll that food will require exercise to burn it off. The purchase of a wrist band will allow children access to a large slide\, bounce house\, football toss\, soccer game\, Fishers-of-Men fishing booth\, face painting\, popcorn\, and entrance to the popular Beaufort Barnyard and Petting Zoo (from 10 AM until 2 PM). \nThe Silent Auction will feature new items and services donated by local businesses and individuals. \nNew this year is an online auction that will include items such as a chartered full day fishing trip\, a vacation rental on Harbor Island\, the popular gourmet dinner with the pastor\, and paintings. \nReturning for its second year is the bazaar Craft Fair.  Local artists and crafts people will display a wide variety of beautiful and novel items that make early Christmas shopping a breeze. \nFor the gardening enthusiast\, the bazaar will also feature a plant sale. \nThe Saint Peter’s Catholic Church Annual Bazaar is a fund-raiser for Lowcountry Outreach\, a ministry of Saint Peter’s parish. Lowcountry Outreach and the parish Service Committee work together to break down access barriers and find ways for area non-profits to expand their reach.  Housed in the former insurance services building adjacent to the Saint Peter’s campus\, Lowcountry Outreach has partnered with Good Neighbor Medical Clinic to provide rides to people who otherwise would not be able to keep their medical appointments. Lowcountry Outreach is now providing office space for Lowcountry Legal Volunteers which helps provide access to justice regardless of a client’s ability to pay.

SUMMARY:Book Launch for Donna Keel Armer's Debut Novel\, The Red Starfish
DESCRIPTION:The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center is honored to host a free public drop-in launch event for Donna Keel Armer’s The Red Starfish ~ Book #1 in the Cat Gabbiano Mystery Series. Join us on Saturday\, October 7\, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at 601 Bladen St.\, in downtown Beaufort. No advance registration required. Books will be available for sale and signing. Refreshments will be provided. The author will speak briefly at 5:45 p.m.  \nABOUT THE RED STARFISH\nKidnapped? Murdered? Or another publicity stunt?\nA gorgeous film star and her priceless starfish necklace disappear. What do the indecipherable clues she leaves behind mean? Desperate to find her missing friend\, Cat Gabbiano abandons her home and business in the South Carolina Lowcountry to fly across the ocean to Italy where she and her best friend spent magical childhood summers. Will Cat solve the mystery of her friend’s disappearance or will she become the next victim? Woven against the alluring Adriatic coastline of Puglia\, The Red Starfish mixes a dangerous cocktail of power\, corruption\, passion\, and the forever friendship of two captivating women. \n“Donna Keel Armer has written a colorfully crafted page turner that illustrates\, in chilling fashion\, how loyalty\, devotion and naïveté can quickly propel us into the vortex of our friends’ misfortunes and tragedies. Love isn’t just blind. It’s often deaf to the inner voice that warns us to proceed with caution.”–Joe Palmer\, author of A Mariner’s Tale \n“Born on the same day\, two women forge a life-long friendship. When Cat gets Stella’s desperate phone call asking for help\, she doesn’t hesitate to get on a plane from the Low Country of South Carolina to the Italian village of Castello del Mare. When she arrives and learns Stella is missing\, she finds herself caught in a web of treachery\, danger and deceit. Can she decipher the clues Stella left her? Is there anyone she can trust? The Red Starfish is a gripping and suspenseful tale that will keep you guessing right to the end. Donna Keel Armer has crafted a superb mystery – and if you’ve been to Italy\, you’ll delight in the descriptions of the food and the countryside. If you’ve never been\, you’ll long to go.”–Sally Handley\, author of the Holly & Ivy cozy mystery series \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nDonna Keel Armer is the author of Solo in Salento: A Memoir which has been translated into Italian as Un’americana in Salento.
