This is just a list of options for the weekend in Charleston. Events and locations are located in the general vicinity to keep transportation logistics to a minimum. We can get group rates if I can get a head count and commitment prior to. I will need to make reservations at the restaurants a month in advance. Charleston is a really incredible city with a lot of things to do. Let me know if there is something or some place you would think the group would enjoy. BTW - we Love to take a “flight” or two at some of the local breweries downtown. Another agenda option!

Many thanks to Jim and Irene Shrift for the wonderful job they have done in setting this up. KUDOS
