Help Us Name That Cottage!

You might have heard…we have a cottage that needs a new name! Our Nowhere to Go Cottage has been getting a complete makeover, and the name just doesn’t do her justice anymore. We asked everyone for help, and boy did y’all deliver! We got loads of great name entries. We’ve whittled them down to our top five favorites, and now we need your help again! We want to know which of the names is your favorite, and we want you to tell us over on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page!

Here’s how this is going to work… we discovered a Poll app and thought we’d give it a try. We will be posting the Cottage Names in a Facebook Poll on our Mermaid Cottages Facebook Page TODAY! Be on the look out for the post, because that is the only place you can cast your vote and make it count! If you comment here, or on our wall, it just won’t work, so make sure you look for the specific poll post on our Wall. You can also get to the poll by clicking the “Poll” option underneath our profile picture! Or, you can click here and go directly to the poll and cast your vote right now! We’ll be watching the poll, and Thursday, we’ll announce the Cottage Name that comes out on top!

We want to thank everyone who participated in the first round…y’all are very creative! We can’t wait to see which name you vote as new name for our cottage!

1001 Ways to get TYBEE-IZED:The Siege at Ft. Pulaski

It’s the 149th Anniversary of the Siege and Reduction of Fort Pulaski!

During the Civil War, Union troops launched the first systematic use of rifled artillery against a masonry fort.  They lined up cannons and bombarded Ft. Pulaski until the walls were breached and the Union Troops took over.  This one battle changed the make-up and design of future forts around the world!

Ft. Pulaski and the Tybee Island Historical Society will commemorate this historic battle April 9 and 10, 2011.  Among the many demonstrations and re-enactments, cannon firings and soldier maneuvers will be presented.

Come out, learn and enjoy the monumental history of Ft. Pulaski and the Tybee Island Lighthouse.

For more information and a complete list of activities for both days go to http://tybeevisit.com/tybeebattleatsiegeapril9-10

Cottage Cheese:FOOL’S PARADISE

It’s April Fool’s Day, Ya’ll!  Well, for Tybee it’s just another day.  You see, if it’s about cuttin’ up, cuttin’ the fool, foolin’ around, or any kind of Tom Foolery, Tybee is your Fool’s Paradise!

While most of ya’ll have a few days throughout the year you dress up and show out, we consider it our duty to be as quirky and colorful as we have a mind to be any time we want to.  That’s how we roll.

And, when we encounter something unusual or just this side of normal on any of our travels we just say, “They’ve been to Tybee at some point in their life!”.  Come on now.  Grin and bear it.  We ain’t normal.  Never have been.  Never want to be.

We’ll sure be glad ya’ll got to see us!  Ya’ll comin’?

Tybee Daze

It’s about being a dirt road sport every chance we get.  It’s about sharing a laugh any time we can cause a ruckus.  It’s about livin’ like a local on Tybee Time.

It’s COTTAGE CHEESE!
