Coastal Communities

Perfecting the Coastal Carolina Lifestyle

Parade Of Homes

Today marks the beginning of the 2009 Parade of Homes. Each year The Brunswick County Home Builders Association organizes this popular event to showcase local homes, the latest technology, design trends and some of the highest levels of craftsmanship available in the industry. During this annual event builders open up their model homes and welcome neighbors to come tour for free. This year over 30 homes are participating and are open for viewing October 16-18 and 23-25, with hours on Friday & Saturday set from 10am – 5pm and on Sunday from 12pm to 5pm.

This year local master builder Mark Saunders Luxury Homes, a division of The Coastal Companies, has two homes included in the parade. In Seawatch at Sunset Harbor a Low Country feature home and in Ocean Ridge Plantation the Sheffield Waterbrook Woods model home are open for anyone to tour. If you would like directions to these beautiful custom homes call 877.732.9282 for the Low Country in Seawatch and 800.556.6570 for the Waterbrook Woods model in Ocean Ridge.

We hope you enjoy the 2009 Parade of Homes!

Join us at Riverside Park for the Shallotte Farmers Market!

Farmers-Market-SignDid you know Shallotte has a Farmer’s Market? Saturday’s from 8am tillNoon in the park located on the corner of Main St. and Whiteville Rd you will find a great selection of local produce and goods. Spend some time at the Market and you will meet interesting people from around the area, run into Rivers Edge residents and be entertained by live music. The atmosphere is what you would expect from this coastal town, located under a nice canopy of trees and adjacent to the Shallotte River.

The Shallotte Farmer’s Market offers different selections each week as the variety of produce comes in and out of its growing season. Some of the products you will find there include fresh vegetables, fruits, berries, arts and crafts, flowers, plants, eggs, seafood, and baked goods. All items at the market are produced locally by the person selling it. Customers can talk directly with the farmers, artists, growers and crafters to ask any questions they may have.

The market is now in its fourth year and continues to grow. For example, a recent grant was issued to the town of Shallotte to build a storage building & canopies for the market. Take the time to support the local community and visit the Shallotte Farmer’s Market before the growing season is over!
