SUMMARY:4th Annual Beaufort Oyster Festival
DESCRIPTION:The annual Beaufort Oyster Festival is coming up this weekend. And\, fittingly\, just like you can’t eat oysters until the colder months\, this weekend is going to be one of the coldest that we’ve experienced in the past year. \nThe event is set for Saturday\, January 20th and Sunday\, January 21st in Downtown Beaufort\, SC at the popular Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park\, and it includes a bit of everything for everyone. \nBut\, if you plan to attend the free event\, you’ll need to consider bundling up. \nSaturday’s high temperature in Beaufort will be around 45°\, with a low of 24°. Sunday’s high will be 44°\, with a low of 31°. \nThe event opens with a 5K\, appropriately named the “Oyster Boogie\,” through the streets of historic downtown\, and the festival offers free admission\, live music and lots more. \nSaturday\, January 20th 10am-6pm\nLive Music from 4 local bands all day long.\n10am – 12th Street\n12pm – Southbound 17\n2pm – The Boondockers\n4pm – Shan Tan & The Oyster Reefers \nSunday\, January 21st 11am-4pm\nLive Music from 2 local bands all day long.\n11am – Campfire Tyler\n1pm – The Fabulous Clams\nCornhole Tournament – 1pm\nBring your own partner double elimination cornhole tournament to support the kids at Riverview Charter School. Minimum 20 teams participating. There will also be a second chance tournament for any team that goes 0-2.  \nOver 15 local organizations will also be on hand to help you learn about oysters\, their history\, oyster shell recycling\, and the sustainability of oysters in our local aquaculture. Plus\, you can even sign up for an Oyster Festival Eco-Tour with Coastal Expeditions. \nOn both days\, the Beaufort Oyster Festival menu options will include steamed\, raw\, roasted and fried oysters\, as well as other food options for those that love a festival but don’t love oysters\, which are definitely an acquired taste. \nAll oysters served at the festival are all locally farmed or harvested from local Lowcountry waters\, lending support to area fishermen and the Lowcountry way of life. \nOne of the things you’ll notice about the Lowcountry is how much we enjoy having fun. Locals enjoy sharing a good time with our neighbors\, and proof of that is the wealth of community festivals hosted each and every year. \nIn an area with so much history and tradition\, we celebrate everything from the water\, to food\, to our lifestyle and our culture. \nAnd\, this weekend’s Oyster Festival fits right in! \nThe massive two-day Oyster Festival is a celebration of community and the bounty of the sea. Two things very near to the heart of folks that call the Lowcountry their home.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Scott Gould\, Author of Idiot Men\, in Conversation with Mindy Friddle
DESCRIPTION:The nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center will host an evening with visiting award-winning fiction writer Scott Gould\, author of Idiot Men: Short Stories\, in conversation with fellow award-winning writer Mindy Friddle\, on Saturday\, January 20\, at 5:00 p.m.\, at the Conroy Center (601 Bladen St.\, Beaufort). Books will be available for sale and signing. Please call to reserve your seat in advance: 843-379-7025. \n(Gould will also be teaching a fiction workshop\, Write What You Know Well Enough to Lie About\, from 2:00-4:00 p.m. at the Conroy Center that same day. Registration is $40 and includes a copy of Idiot Men. Details: https://patconroyliterarycenter.eventbrite.com \nAbout Idiot Men\n“Scott Gould is a literary shapeshifter. A rough Southern man who writes about trucks\, beer\, dogs and doublewides with the finesse of a poet. Idiot Men is like the best country song you have ever heard. His writing breaks your heart but makes you rejoice that you are still alive to recover.”–Jane Stern\, author of Ambulance Girl \nWith Strangers to Temptation\, Things that Crash\, Things that Fly\, and The Hammerhead Chronicles\, Scott Gould cemented his reputation as one of the most inventive\, distinctive voices of Southern literature. In his latest collection\, Idiot Men\, he once again gathers a cast of unforgettable characters in eleven stories chock full of exceptional storylines and hilarious writing. \nYou’ll meet a trucker driver whose wife flees to Jamaica with her lover\, leaving him to babysit her hairless tomcat\, Princess Di; a male nurse who discovers a trailer full of counterfeit NASCAR paraphernalia during a home health visit; an amateur arsonist sentenced to a year in a Smokey the Bear suit; a disgruntled roofer with a bad back and a meth-dealing twin brother… these are just a few of the idiot men you’ll encounter in a collection of stories that will appeal to readers who relish literature with a Southern flavor. \nGould’s Idiot Men provides the stage for wayward characters who make poor choices in life and love against a backdrop of elegant prose. These tales recalibrate morality and convention as readers will grow to love the characters despite-and perhaps because of-their flaws. These diverse\, rich stories are ultimately connected by the spellbinding voice of a true Southern storyteller. \nAbout Author Scott Gould\nScott Gould is the author of five books\, including The Hammerhead Chronicles\, winner of the Eric Hoffer Award for Fiction\, and Things That Crash\, Things That Fly\, which won a 2022 Memoir Prize for Books. Other honors include a Next Generation Indie Book Award\, an IPPY Award for Fiction\, the Larry Brown Short Story Award and the S.C. Arts Commission Artist Fellowship in Prose. Gould’s latest book is the story collection\, Idiot Men. His work has appeared in Kenyon Review\, Black Warrior Review\, Pangyrus\, New Ohio Review\, Crazyhorse\, Pithead Chapel\, Vessel\, Garden & Gun\, and New Stories from the South\, among others. He teaches at the S.C. Governor’s School for the Arts & Humanities in Greenville\, S.C. \nAbout Interviewer Mindy Friddle\nMindy Friddle is author of the novel\, Secret Keepers\, (winner of the Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction). The Garden Angel\, her first novel and SIBA bestseller\, was selected for Barnes & Noble’s Discover Great New Writers. The South Carolina Arts Commission awarded Mindy a prose fellowship\, and she has twice won the state’s Fiction Prize. Mindy’s third novel\, Her Best Self\, will be published in May.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Raj Haldar\, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of This Book Is Banned
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free\, family-friendly evening of story and song with Raj Haldar\, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Book Is Banned. This special event is hosted by the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center in collaboration with the Storybook Shoppe\, DAYLO (Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization)\, and the Technical College of the Lowcountry.  \nFollowing Raj’s musical storytelling performance\, he will be in conversation with the students of DAYLO to discuss the importance of intellectual freedom and pro-literacy advocacy.  \nThis event will be held at the Technical College of the Lowcountry\, Bldg 4 (Health Sciences)\, 104 Reynolds St.\, Beaufort\, on Thursday\, February 22\, from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. Attendance is free with advance online registration. Books will be available for sale and signing after the program through the Storybook Shoppe children’s bookstore.  \nREGISTER: https://aneveningwithrajhaldar.eventbrite.com \nABOUT THIS BOOK IS BANNED \nFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author of P Is for Pterodactyl Raj Haldar comes a silly and irreverent new picture book all about sharing ideas. \nThis is a book about dinosaurs. No\, it’s not. Dinosaurs are not allowed. \nOh. This is now a book about avocados! Sorry. We deleted those too. \nFINE. This book is about―nope! Forbidden! \nMaybe you shouldn’t even try reading this book…But what could possibly be inside? \nDiscover just what can happen when ideas are erased instead of expressed with this hilarious picture book romp that kids (and grown-ups) will want to read over and over again. This Book Is Banned is a funny\, engaging book perfect for families to read aloud with kids of all ages\, parents eager to share a laugh while addressing meaningful themes\, educators looking for an entertaining resource to discuss important issues\, and readers with a penchant for humor\, vibrant illustrations\, and thoughtful content.  \n“A funny\, thought-provoking book that opens the door to discussion about book banning with younger children.”―School Library Journal\, STARRED review \n“Well done and adorably funny… a really great introduction to the subject of banned books for little ones.”―Youth Services Book Review\, STARRED review \n“A zany\, fourth wall–breaking exploration of book banning.”―Kirkus Reviews \n“Haldar and Patton employ absurdist hijinks to explore the practice of book banning… By story’s end\, readers will likely have had at least one beloved subject ousted―potentially prompting conversation about real-world events.”―Publishers Weekly \n“The adult-child combination who reads This Book Is Banned together will have fun discussing the issue of banning in the hypothetical\, thanks to the busy and engaging illustrations and text that await them. Young children will want you to read it to them over and over again… Strongly reminiscent of The Monster at the End of This Book.”―NY Journal of Books \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nRaj Haldar is the author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling picture book P is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever. But\, for close to a decade\, he has been better known as Lushlife\, the rapper\, producer\, and multi-instrumentalist. In that time\, he’s amassed a fervent global fanbase and released award-winning viral music videos that highlight his erudite lyrics. The Sunday New York Times describes his work as “an intoxicating mix of captivating rhymes with audacious\, gorgeous production.” So it should come as no surprise that Haldar has made the leap into the world of children’s literature. His latest book\, entitled This Book is Banned\, gives young readers a lighthearted entry point to begin understanding the dangers of book banning and censorship. His work has been featured by The Washington Post\, Interview Magazine\, VICE\, Pitchfork\, Village Voice\, Mental Floss\, BBC\, SPIN and more. Raj currently lives on the Upper West Side of Manhattan with his wife and two young daughters. \nDuring his visit to the Lowcountry\, Raj will also be appearing as a featured author at the Palmetto State Literacy Association annual conference and visiting local schools. He last appeared with leaders of DAYLO in a Banned Books Week national livestream for the Children’s Book Council\, hosted by Pat R. Scales\, and subsequently featured in Publishers Weekly.
