Lace up your trail shoes and gather your crew. Charleston County Parks is introducing an exciting new running event this fall that’s all about teamwork, adventure, and Lowcountry fun. The Mullet Haul n’ Hustle Marathon Relay, Half Marathon, 5K and Kids Dash will make its debut on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Johns Island County Park.

Exterior remodeling can make a major difference in the appearance, comfort, and value of a home. For homeowners in Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry, though, exterior improvements require more thought than simply picking materials that look good.

Southern Gates, the Charleston-based jewelry brand inspired by the timeless beauty of Southern architecture and craftsmanship, is pleased to announce the launch of its highly anticipated fall collection on Monday, August 10. The new collection will be available through the brand's online store and in partner retail shops.

Heavy rainfall is part of life in Charleston and throughout the Lowcountry. Intense summer storms, tropical weather, coastal winds, and fast-moving downpours can place considerable stress on a home’s roof and drainage system. Once a storm passes, homeowners may discover water spots on the ceiling, damp drywall, peeling paint, dripping water, or moisture in the attic. Finding a roof leak can feel overwhelming, especially while rain is still falling. However, acting quickly and safely can reduce interior damage and make it easier for a roofing professional to locate and repair the problem.

Summer in Charleston is beautiful, but it can be tough on a home’s exterior. Between the intense sun, high humidity, salt air, pop-up thunderstorms, and the beginning of hurricane season, Lowcountry homes deal with a lot this time of year. What looks like a small issue in June or July can quickly turn into a bigger repair if it is exposed to repeated rain, heat, and moisture.
