Palmetto Swamp Fox Adventure Race in McClellanville
2008-03-09 01:01:00
Before you had even poured your first cup of coffee this morning a group of around 100 people converged on McClellanville for 3rd Annual Palmetto Swamp Fox Adventure Race . Similar to the Amazing Race television show, competitors race through a series of checkpoints completing a variety of adventures and obstacles testing their mental and physical abilities along the way. The Palmetto Swamp Fox Adventure Race is organized by Kando Adventures and is 2008 USARA Regional Qualifier event. It incorporates kayaking, bicycling, and running (through various terrains) in addition to orienteering and other skills needed to complete obstacles. Where the Amazing Race show is geared more at showing off the local culture of exotic destinations, the Palmetto Swamp Fox Adventure Race is about using our local creeks, forests and swamps to expose (and punish) competitors to all the elements of Mother Nature.The race route started at the town hall in McClellanville where racers had to locate a serie...

Filming for “The New Daughter” made for an exciting week in McClellanville for many people last week. I finally got the stars settled in their new homes for the next few months. Filming in the town wrapped up Friday evening with some exterior shots at T.W Grahams and the Arts Council, followed by a party at T.W. Grahams for the cast and crew. Several locals were chosen as extras in the movie and lots of people snuck pictures of Kevin Costner and all the rest of the cast. As different as this all was, there’s always something interesting going on in this little town. I’m always looking for great local stories and pictures of McClellanville. I can’t be two places at once so there’s usually some interesting event, great sunset, or funny story that I miss. If you ever come across something that you think would benefit the other readers of MyMcClellanville, please feel free to share it with me. If you are planning an upcoming event, send me everything that you want to ...

The New Daughter Movie Update
2008-02-17 23:57:00
One unsuspected result of the articles I’ve written about the new Kevin Costner movie to be filmed in and around McClellanville, The New Daughter , is the number of people that have contacted me. Some people are looking for the inside scoop on casting calls while others have offered up their homes and property and even a home-cooked meal in hopes to meet Mr. Costner. I am working with the production company and hope to be wrapping up their housing arrangements this week, which I’m afraid I can’t discuss, but this hasn’t given me any inside information on the details of the filming. That being said, I will share with you the information I’ve heard around town. Cindi Hobgood, who is the locations manager for New Daughter LLC, announced at a Town Hall meeting on February 4th that they will be filming in the town of McClellanville on February 26th and 27th. She advised that they plan to “shoot the scenes on Pinckney Street, including some interior and exterior scenes at T....

The Great Backyard Bird Count
2008-02-16 21:10:00
I meant to get this out sooner, but there are still several days left for everyone to participate. The Great Backyard Bird Count is an Audubon event that beginner and expert birdwatchers and nature lovers can enjoy. It just takes a minimum of 15 minutes and pen and paper to record your sightings. The information collected helps researchers in their studies of the population and helps them better protect our bird populations. Surprisingly our area has been under reported in past Backyard Bird Counts, so get out there and participate. To participate simply print out this checklist for birds common to McClellanville, spend at least 15 minutes between February 15th and 18th noting the number and species of birds spotted, and then submit your findings here. Fact: Almost 30% of US bird species identified as being in need of top-priority conservation attention by Audubon and the American Bird Conservancy spend at least part of their lives in South Carolina. Many of these rely on the C...

McClellanville Goes Hollywood…Again?
2008-01-10 03:12:00
The Post and Courier reported today that McClellanville may be the new site for the filming of a horror movie called “The New Daughter” starring Kevin Costner. The article reports that McClellanville and Edisto Island are two possible locations for the filming and that a production studio has made it’s home in Charleston. The film is based on a story by John Connolly which takes place in rural Illinois. This leads one to wonder what McClellanville and Illinois share visually, but I guess thats where they say a film is “loosely” based on a novel. Of course this isn’t the first time McClellanville has attracted the attention of Hollywood. Much of the movie Paradise, starring the then-married Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and a young Elijah Wood, was filmed in McClellanville in 1991. I remember it well because we got to get out of school to go watch them film and then we played football with Elijah Wood who was our age. You can recognize T.W. Graham’s restaurant i...
