The world is upside down in WonderWorks at Broadway at the Beach. As soon as you see the dramatic exterior, designed as an upside-down build-ing, you know you are in for a treat. Family Fun awaits with more than 100 interactive, hands on exhibits.

Spectacular acrobatic competition, live animals and a brand new original music score by Dolly Parton will create an immersive adventure experience. All this fun and adventure as you enjoy a spectacular five-course pirate feast. Which camp will take the treasure may be up to you as you cheer the buccaneers on to victory.

Crowd pleasers20th Annual

Greek FestivalSeptember 22 - 25, 2011

St. John’s Greek Orthodox Church of Myrtle Beach is holding its 20th Annual Greek Festival September 22-25. This 4-day event will be held in the fellowship hall and on the Church grounds, located on the corner of Hwy. 17 Bypass and 33rd Avenue North. Hours on Thursday are from 11 am-9 pm, Friday and Saturday from 11 am-10 pm, and on Sunday from noon until 7pm. Admission is only $1 for adults and children 10 and under are free.

Come out and enjoy mouth-watering Greek foods such as Gyros, Roasted Lamb, Greek Salad, Spanikopita and Mousaka – as well as a wide assortment of Greek pastries and breads. Soft drinks, beer and Greek wines will also be available.

In addition to delicious food, there will be a coffee shop, gift shop and vendor booths. Guests will also enjoy live Greek music, Greek dancers, and children’s activities, as well as Church tours and informative lectures about the iconography and the Orthodox faith.

Whether you come every year or you’ve never been, this is one fun and educational Festival that you don’t want to miss! For more information, call 843-448-3773.


You’ll never run out of things to do while visiting the Grand Strand! You can experience heart-pounding water park slides, parasail over the blue Atlantic Ocean, play a round of miniature golf, or cruise the Intracoastal Waterway on Jet Skis. If you’re feeling adventurous, you may charter a sailboat or take a deep sea fishing trip to the Gulf Stream.

The Myrtle Beach area offers a little something for everyone, and more importantly, provides experiences the whole family can enjoy. Dinner theaters abound along the Grand Strand from the knights of the roundtable at Medieval Times to pirates singing, dancing and entertaining you at Pirates Voyage, both offering exceptional meals for the entire family.

If award winning theater with incredible star studded musicians, vocalists and dancers are more your style, don’t miss a visit to the Carolina Opry, a Myrtle Beach phenomenon for over 25 years. Or step out to Celebration Music Theatre, the newest addition to the Grand Strand entertainment venue to hear celebrity impersonations like Tina Turner, Garth Brooks and Elvis.

Whether you feel like dancing, catching a stand-up comedy act or listening to hand-clapping, foot-stomping music at one of our world-class entertainment centers, you’ll find endless choices for a perfect evening. And of course, you’ll want to drop by a nightspot where the shag (the official state dance) is the dance of choice.

There’s fun to be found along the Grand Strand. Enjoy!

Pat Boone Family Theater1808 21st Ave. N., Myrtle Beach • 843-213-6880 • www.pbftheater.com

Featuring the mind-bending magic of internationally-acclaimed illusionist Morgan Strebler, the Pat Boone Family Theater takes residence this summer in the heart of Myrtle Beach with three shows a day appealing to all age groups.

Morgan’s metal-bending and mind-reading are sure to amaze all who experience his “Inside Your Mind” show. But the magic doesn’t stop there. This newly renovated, 600-seat auditorium provides an intimate, edge-of-your-seat experi-ence for its entire audience, with only 50 feet spanning the distance from the last row to the stage.

When Morgan is off-stage adding new illusions to his repertoire, musical acts from across the decades will bring their own brand of enchantment to the theater. Legends such as Pat Boone and B.J. Thomas, the brightest in gospel music, and Christmas spectaculars will be appearing as well. Tickets start at 24.95, with children’s pricing available.

Since 1979, Chuck’s Steak House, a favorite among locals, golfers and families, uses the original steak house/salad bar concept featuring thick, aged steaks, all hand cut daily.

Our customers relax and dine in a casual atmosphere that can best be described as one of “rustic elegance.” The owner’s love of the outdoors is evident throughout with some of the finest “blue ribbon” taxidermy and wildlife artwork in the southeast. Three fireplaces, a comfortable library and a view of the Intracoastal Waterway make Chuck’s Steak House a tradition and a destination year after year. Reservations are accepted but not necessary. Children’s and Senior Citizen’s menus. Open 7 days a week. Happy hour 4 to 7 pm. Early Bird 4:30-6:30. Dinner is served from 4:30 pm. Smoke Free.

Family Funat L o ca L S tat e Pa r k S

H u n t i n g to n B e ac H S tat e Pa r kSet on 2500 acres just south of Murrells Inlet, Huntington Beach State Park offers wide

pristine beaches, sea breeze camping, fishing in the surf or from the jetties as well as some of the finest bird watching on the coast. The Park is also home to Atalaya, the former summer home of Archer and Anna Huntington, who left the property, and adjoining Brookgreen Gardens, as their legacy. Nature lovers also will enjoy the park’s Environmental Education Center and wide variety of programming, including the chance to see loggerhead turtles and other endangered plant and animal species up close. The park’s freshwater lake is a sure-fire place to see alligators and sometimes even a mink or two. Kayaking tours are available, as well as birding expeditions led by experienced birders.

Art lovers, meanwhile, flock by the thousands to the prestigious, juried Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival held in and around the castle each September. This year, the Festival will be held September 23-25. Daily admission is $6 for adults and a multi-day pass is available for $10.

For more information about Huntington Beach State Park, call 843-237-4440 or visit www.southcarolinaparks.com.

M y rt l e B e ac h S tat e Pa r kOpened in 1935, Myrtle Beach State Park is South Carolina’s oldest park. Set on the south

end of Myrtle Beach, this park holds one of South Carolina’s last stands of easily accessible, oceanfront maritime forest. The 312 acre site was donated by Myrtle Beach Farms in 1934 and was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a New Deal Program cre-ated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The program was designed to provide employment during the Great Depression while addressing national needs in conservation and recre-ation. Many of the buildings built in the 1930s are still in use today.

Visitors have a wide variety of activities to enjoy, including camping, a fishing pier full of anglers and a nature programs for all ages. Throughout the summer children’s programs are available that give young nature lovers a chance to learn more about dolphins, sea turtles and the abundant bird and plant life that grace the leafy park. Most are free with park admission.

Hot Dogs – A Summer ClASSiC

Nothing says summer like a hot dog – one of America’s favorite foods – grilled at home or purchased at one of the many great eateries along the Grand Strand. Most hot dogs are eaten during the summer; from Memorial Day to Labor Day Americans typically consume 7 billion hot dogs or 818 hot dogs every second during that period. On Independence Day alone, 150 million hot dogs are cooked and eaten, enough to stretch from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles over five times.

Without a bun, a hot dog is just another sausage, and it’s not known when this perfect combination was introduced. Charles Feltman, a German immigrant butcher, opened the first Coney Island hot dog stand in Brooklyn, New York, in 1867, and his dogs were a hit – the business sold 3,684 hot dogs in milk rolls during its first year in business.

Every region has its own favorite hot dog toppings, and in the South hot dogs are topped with chili and slaw, after slathering on the mustard…oh, and don’t forget the onions!


CArolinA ChiliFrom Desperation Entertaining! by Beverly Mills and Alicia Ross

Makes 1 quart

1 1/4 pounds extra-lean ground beef (use extra-lean ground beef to avoid greasy chili)1 large onion (about 1 cup chopped)1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste1/2 cup ketchup1 tablespoon chili powder2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce1 teaspoon cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar1 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Place the beef and 2 cups of water in a 4 1/2-quart Dutch oven or soup pot over high heat. Bring the water to a boil while peeling and coarsely chopping the onion. Add the chopped onion to the beef. When the water boils, reduce the heat to medium. Stir to begin breaking up the meat.

Add the tomato paste, ketchup, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper, if using. Stir well until the tomato paste has dissolved and the meat is mostly broken up.

Continue to cook the chili at a slow boil, stirring about every 5 minutes or so, until the mixture is thick, about 15 minutes. As the mixture thickens, you may need to reduce the heat to medium-low or low to prevent sticking.

Visit Historic ConwayOverlooking the dark waters of the picturesque Waccamaw River, the city of Conway offers

an appealing mixture of small-town friendliness, modern conveniences, and Old South charm. It is one of the oldest towns in America, established in 1733, in what was then South Carolina’s colonial frontier. Today, Conway is a pleasant, riverside town of quiet neighborhoods, historic structures and moss-shrouded live oak trees.

For a closer look at our nation’s history, visit the Horry County Museum, housed in a converted Post Office, adjacent to the downtown area. Conway’s historic district is filled with many lovely older homes including the stately Bryan House on Main Street that was built in 1912. Rivertown History and Haunts offers walking tours through the downtown area led by guides in period costume.

The Conway Crawl is held on the first and third Thursday night of each month, when shops downtown are open until 8 pm, featuring a variety of entertainment including live music, classic car shows, ice cream socials and sidewalk sales.

A short drive from Myrtle Beach, Conway has something for everyone – whether you’re more comfortable strolling along the River Walk or kayaking down the Waccamaw! For more information, call 843-248-1700 or visit www.VisitConwaySC.com.

Your visit to the Myrtle Beach area will be complete, taking in a day of some of the best shopping to be found. You’ll find fabulous stores and great deals no matter where on the Grand Strand you are staying.

Grand Strand shopping offers something for every taste. From historic Georgetown to relaxing Ocean Isle, we have trendy boutiques and themed shopping villages. You’ll discover exciting retail stores, factory-direct malls, along with tempting restaurants and entertainment.

Tanger Outlets’ two locations are a bargain hunter’s paradise. Myrtle Beach is also the home of Coastal Grand, South Carolina’s largest mall. And of course, you’ll want to browse through the many souvenir and beachwear shops that line the streets. The iconic Gay Dolphin, on Ocean Boulevard, has been offering unusual gifts and souvenirs for over 50 years.

Discriminating shoppers will enjoy visiting The Market Common, our urban village on the South end of Myrtle Beach, offering high end boutiques such as Anthropologie (the only one in South Carolina), Copper Penny, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and Brooks Brothers as well as great restaurants, including P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Tommy Bahama and Travinia Italian Kitchen. Follow a fun day or evening of shopping and dining with a great summer movie at the Grand 14 theater.
