The SC Watermedia Society calls for participation in the “Brookgreen Gardens Plein Air Competition” to be held on May 25, 2019, from 9am – 6pm in Murrells Inlet, SC.
If you are planning to stay in the area overnight, you might want to make hotel reservations as soon as possible as this is Memorial Day weekend and there are lots of activities and visitors to the area at that time and room fill quickly.
Sponsored by McCalls Farms
