Lots of things going on here in Charleston this weekend, and the weather is supposed to be beautiful, so get out and do something!
THE BATTLE OF CHARLESTON - April 17 & 18, 2:00 pm. (Gates open at 9:00 am, tickets at $10 for adults, $5 for children 5-12, and free for children under 5.) Legare Farms hosts a re-enactment of the only time in naval history that forces on land captured a ship on Jan. 30, 1863. This event draws 300-400 re-enactors from as far away as Ohio and is held on Legare Farms, a 300-acre working family farm that has been in operation since 1725. There are lots of living history demonstrations, special events and vendors will sell various food. For more information, go to http://www.battleofchas.com/ , call 559-0788, or e-mail legarefarms@bellsouth.net (I will do another post later on Legare Farms as a wonderful place to buy great local food.)
BLUE ANGELS DEMONSTRATION - April 17 & 18, 2 pm over the Cooper River and Charleston Harbor, free. A great place to watch is anywhere with a view of the harbor. Today's Post and Courier has an extensive article in today's paper with suggestions on where to watch it, where to park (shuttle will be running), and information about the Blue Angels. The Ravenel bridge pedestrian walk way will be closed, so don't plan on watching it from there.
EARTH DAY FESTIVAL - April 17, 11 am - 3 pm, Park Circle in North Charleston, free admission. This is Charleston County's 11th annual Earth Day Festival, and it brings together more than 65 local exhibitors with family oriented activities and displays. Bring your own water bottle (to reduce waster), and vendors will have food for sale. For more information, go to http://www.charlestoncounty.org/ or call 843-720-7111.
