     Ever since October, Tybee has been center stage for a FUN-raising campaign that has been a huge success! The island’s community has rallied together to raise money for the restoration of the Historic Post Theater, and boy did they come out in droves to support the effort! Casting For Stars was an island-wide contest in which contestants compete by hosting fundraising events. Each dollar donated to an event counted as one vote for that contestant, and of course the proceeds benefit the theater. Well, it’s time for the curtain call…this Saturday, January 15th, is the Casting For Stars Grand Finale!

     It’s going to be swell, so plan to join in the fun this weekend! Please come to the Grand Finale Event Saturday at the Tybee American Legion from 7 to 11 pm at 10 Veteran’s Drive here on the island. There will be an awards presentation, so don’t miss being on hand to see which contestant will be crowned the Super Star! In additon to the awards, there will be light hors d’ouerves from Marlin Monroes, a cash bar, and amazing live music from the Georgia Kyle Blues Band! The best part? The party’s theme is 1940s USO…and coming in costume is definitely encouraged!
Tickets are available online, or you can stop by the Tybee Vacation Rentals Office. They are just $25, and of course that goes to benefit the theater resortation efforts! So what are you waiting for? Curl your hair, shine those shoes, grab your steady and get down to the Tybee American Legion this weekend…it’s going to be the cat’s meow for sure!

So, ring in 2011 the right way on Tybee at the annual New Year’s Eve Fireworks show! The show starts at the stroke of midnight at the Pier and Pavilion, so don’t miss it!
The fun doesn’t end on New Year’s Eve either. This year is the 11th annual Tybee Polar Plunge! The Polar Plunge isn’t just a fun way to start the new year; it’s a great event for a great cause.

This event helps to fund $1000 scholarships for nursing students at AASU going for a BSN degree and who have agreed to remain and work in the Chatham County medical community. Last year’s Plunge at the Pier and Pavilion saw about 1000 participants and 5000 spectators, so it is definitely a must see! Make sure to visit the Tybee Polar Plunge web page for more information on how to register for the fun. If cold water isn’t your thing, no problem! Come just to watch the craziness! We hope to see you on Tybee this weekend…there’s no better place to ring in a brand new year!
