SUMMARY:Meagan Johnson Agility Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Two day seminar preceding our UKI agility trial that Meagan will judge.Topic or topics to be determined. Message us if interested. \nMeet Meagan! Meagan Johnson is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (Knowledge Assessed)\, a Certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM)\, and has studied under Michael Shikashio completing the Aggression in Dogs Master Course. 2019 was the year Meagan became a UKI judge and has attended the Global Judging Program 1 and 2 (twice). In 2023 she became a USDAA judge. In 2020 Meagan founded Reactive and Distracted Agility\, an organization built around dogs that struggle with traditional competition environments due to noise sensitivity\, dog reactivity\, or stranger danger. Behavioral struggles in sport dogs is a huge point of passion and is the crossroads of Meagan’s career and education. Meagan’s own agility journey began in 2010 with her first dog Twig (Scottie mix)\, followed by Brix (Border Collie)\, Coney (Shih-Tzu / Chihuahua mix)\, and Hanks (BorderPap Staffy mix). Every one of her dog’s journeys has been different\, with challenges rising from motivation struggles\, reinforcement questions\, reactivity\, over arousal\, fear\, hyper social\, and more. Not only has Meagan learned so much from her own dogs\, but also by working with and coaching hundreds of teams and families supporting their dogs in a variety of scenarios\, whether sports or home based since 2012. She currently teaches agility in-person and virtually\, as well as behavior modification and basic good dog stuff through her training business\, www.RAD-Dogs.com.Meagan currently competes with Coney and Hanks! In 2023\, Coney finished the year as the #5 4” dog in UKI\, and was the UKI Southwest Cup Overall Reserve Champion. Hanks was the 12” Select Speedstakes Final Reserve Champion at the 2023 UKI US Open at just 18 months old! In 2024 Hanks was the 12” Pentathlon Champion at the SWAT Roadrunner Classics and 3rd Overall at the Southwest Cup. These boys are just getting started!

SUMMARY:Historic Beaufort Foundation Annual Fall Festival Houses & Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Historic Beaufort Foundation’s annual Fall Festival of Houses and Gardens provides a very rare vantage point in a selection of private homes representing three centuries of Beaufort architecture normally not open to the public. \nBeaufort’s role and architecture during the Civil War and the era of Reconstruction will highlight this year’s three-day Fall Festival of Houses & Gardens October 16th through 18th. \nFor 52 years\, gracious homeowners have shared their private homes and gardens in support of Historic Beaufort Foundation and its mission to preserve and protect Beaufort’s historic\, architectural and cultural legacy. This event\, along with the Spring Architects’ Tour and the Lafayette Soiree\, are the Foundation’s primary annual fundraisers. \nTickets for the annual event are available online at www.historicbeaufort.org and typically sell fast\, with some events selling out. Two-day ticket bundles are available with a discount. \n“We always encourage early purchase\, but this year we’ve been getting more calls than usual from people outside of South Carolina who want to make this a special Beaufort weekend\,” said Lise Sundrla\, Historic Beaufort Foundation’s executive director. \nTours and events are rain or shine and tickets are non-refundable. Generally\, HBF and property owners prefer that children under 12 not attend. However\, Sundrla said she’d be happy to discuss this on an individual basis by calling her office at 843.379.3331. \nTwo highlights of each year’s tour are the tour poster and the floral decorations. Annually\, HBF invites a local artist to create the image for the fall tour poster. Over the years the posters have become treasured collectables. HBF is pleased to announce this year’s fall tour artist – Betty Cothran. \nAnd\, for many years\, the Beaufort Council of Garden Clubs and long-time John Mark Verdier House docent and interior designer Norman Owens have graciously crafted floral decorations for tour sites. \nFriday\, October 16\, 5:30 p.m. \nAn evening with Dr. John McCardell & Dr. Steve Wise\nThis evening reception and discussion features acclaimed Southern historians Dr. John McCardell and Dr. Steve Wise as they discuss the American Civil War and the era of Reconstruction in Beaufort. This special member-only event will be held at the home of Dave and Nancy Russell\, the iconic Dr. Joseph Johnson House known as The Castle\, ca. 1861. Space is limited for this special member-only event.  \nTickets: HBF members only\, $200 per person. \nSaturday\, October 17\, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. \nBeaufort Transformed\n A tour of homes and churches associated with the American Civil War and the era of Reconstruction (this is a walking tour with shuttles available). \nBeaufort’s Fall Festival of Houses & Gardens offers a unique glimpse into homes and gardens and sites within and around the National Historic Landmark District. After Federal troops captured Beaufort in November 1861\, many homes\, churches and commercial structures were occupied and repurposed as headquarters\, hospitals\, quarters\, and other military uses for the duration of the war. \nEight homes and two churches will be showcased on the tour this year. Highlights include the McKee-Smalls House (also known as the Robert Smalls House)\, ca. 1810s; Berners Barnwell Sams House #2\, ca. 1852; the John Joyner Smith House\, ca. 1820s (remodeled in 1850); the John Fripp Chaplin House (Chaplin Court)\, ca. 1815 and the Paul Hamilton House (The Oaks)\, ca. 1855. \nThe McKee-Smalls House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975. The history of this significant property and its ownership embody the more dramatic aspects of social change in post-Civil War Beaufort. Considered one of the most remarkable figures in American history\, Robert Smalls’ journey from enslavement to US Congressman is anchored deeply in Beaufort. \nThe McKee-Smalls House.

Single Day tickets  Member: $75 Non-Member: $85 \nSunday\, October 18\, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. \nFrogmore Lowcountry Brunch & Tour\nThis year’s Lowcountry Brunch & Tour will be held at the home of Bill and Caroline Hatcher\, Frogmore Manor\, ca. 1810 and Plantation on St. Helena Island. The property was originally owned by Lt. Governor William Bull\, who willed it to his son in 1750. \nFrogmore Manor. Photo courtesy HBF\nOnce boasting more than 3\,000 acres\, the property today includes some 72 acres. The manor house\, barn and windmill/water tower provide an important example of early architectural development on St. Helena during the period of 1790 to 1920.  Built ca.1810\, the barn is a significant example of early tabby construction. \nIn 1867-68 the property was purchased by Laura Towne and Ellen Murray\, Northern missionaries and teachers who arrived on St. Helena Island in 1862 and founded Penn School\, one the nation’s first schools for formerly enslaved persons and the first to be established in the southern United States. Following their deaths in the early 1900s\, the property was purchased by James Ross Macdonald and remains in the family today. \nDr. Mollie Barnes\, professor of English at USCB and the inaugural Lawrence S. Rowland Endowed Professor\, will be joining Dr. Larry Rowland mid-day to discuss Frogmore’s early history and Penn School founders Laura Towne and Ellen Murray who purchased and resided at Frogmore Plantation following the Civil War. \nNote that Sunday tickets will be offered by shift:  9 – 11 a.m. and 12 noon to 2 p.m. Please indicate the shift timeframe you would prefer in the notes section of the order form or call the HBF office at 843.379.3331.
