Come join the cowgirl fun and friendship! The Sisters will be opening their fabulous vintage trailers for a three hour tour, so you can dream and enjoy, and there will even be a cowgirl lunch, quilt auction, and book signing at the event!

Over 40 fabulous trailers will be open for touring from 11 to 2 p.m. this Saturday at Tybee’s River’s End Campground – all hosted by Susan Kelleher, owner of our favorite local shop, Seaside Sisters! Come enjoy the trailers, camaraderie, food, and fun this weekend and learn why the Sisters’ motto is “We have more fun than anyone!”

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

Leave a Comment / Live Like a Local /

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

The Blessing of the Pets on Tybee!

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized /

     The All Saints Episcopal Church here on Tybee is going to be hosting a wonderful event coming up in October! All pets are invited to attend the Blessing of the Pets..and of course, your humans are welcome too! There will be fun for all, a performance by the Savannah Children’s Preparatory Choir, and even the local mounted patrol and K-9 unit will join the festivities! 
      October 4th is the Feast of Saint Francis, the patron saint of animals and the environment. Saint Francis was born in Assisi in 1182. He lived a simply life of poverty, committed to God, and gained a reputation for being a friend to all animals. He established the rule of St. Francis, which today is known as the Order of Saint Francis, or the Franciscans. He died in 1266 at the age of 44. The Blessing of the Pets is done all over the world in remembrance of the love Saint Francis had for all creatures!

     Make sure you save the date! The event begins at 4pm Sunday, October 3rd in the church yard at All Saints Episcopal Church. (Perfect timing after you attend the Book signing and coffee tasting fundraiser at Seaside Sisters!) 
     The church is on Jones Avenue here on Tybee Island. If you are headed in from Savannah, turn right onto Jone Avenue at the second light and go 8 blocks. The church will be on your left! And don’t worry, if the weather doesn’t cooperate, the festivities will move to the church hall. We can’t wait to see everyone there and celebrate that special bond we share with our furry friends!
