their boats.
“I believe we need to keep the boats at the creek in the
creek,” she said.
The second annual Chics of the Sea fundraiser will
be held on Sunday, Aug. 14, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at
Harborside East, with live music by the East Coast Party
Band, fresh Lowcountry boil (made with local shrimp, of
course), live mermaids, raffles, an art auction and an open
bar. Last year, 200 people attended the event, and this year
there is a 300-person limit.
The goal of the 2016 fundraiser is to equip the
Shem Creek fleet with a maritime navigation safety
communications system. This updated technology, a
Coast Guard requirement, makes it easier for large ocean-
going vessels to spot small fishing boats. It also makes the
small boats easier to locate in case of an emergency or
rescue situation.
Local artists donated one-of-a-kind pieces that have
been created especially for this year’s event, in a variety of
mediums – from jewelry to metal sculptures to paintings
– that will be available at the silent auction. The original
mermaid piece by Abagail Wedlake, which appears on
T-shirts, will also be raffled off.
Many local businesses have donated items, in addition
to artwork, Boals said. She added that the organizers of the
event are grateful for the sponsors and to the community
for the outpouring of generosity.
“Really, it’s all about supporting local small
businesses. More people are getting on the bandwagon
for buying local seafood, local produce and local
artwork, and that really makes a difference in the
community,” she said.
