Directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint and James Mason, this 1959 film is one of the most entertaining ever made.

EVENING LIME RICK BURN AND CANDLE LIGHT TOUR: NOVEMBER 17, 2018 – JANUARY 6, 2019

St. Simons Island, GA: Fort Frederica’s bleaching ruins dot the landscape where a thriving town stood. A place that was home to roughly 1,000 people is now largely quiet. The site remains difficult to comprehend; its stories shrouded in a mysterious history.

The burning of a lime rick will be the backdrop for an evening of storytelling and history. A lime rick of stacked logs with racks of oyster shells will be fired. The heat of the fire breaks down the shell into lime. This source of lime allowed Frederica’s settlers to build tabby homes that were so durable that ruins still remain. (Burning of the rick will depend on weather conditions)

Starting at 6:00 pm visitors should meet in the Visitor Center breezeway, where a short tabby making demonstration will take place, followed by the lighting of the lime rick and the candle light tour.

The candle lit tour features the stories of settlers and soldiers. Soldiers from the 42nd Regiment of Foot will demonstrate their military skills. Musket and cannon firings will highlight the stories of the fight for British rights to Georgia – and the colony’s survival. Frederica’s townspeople will be featured. Visitors can meet the citizens on the original lots where they lived and plied their trades. Visitors will glimpse the struggles that the settlers had to overcome.

Entrance for the event is free. Please meet the guide in the breezeway of Fort Frederica’s Visitor Center before 6:00pm when the program starts. For further information, please contact the park visitor center at 912-638-3639 or click here. Fort Frederica National Monument: 6515 Frederica Road, St. Simons Island, GA 31522.

TRIBUTE – A CELEBRATION OF THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND: NOVEMBER 30, 2018

Since its founding in 2013, Atlanta-based TRIBUTE has earned a reputation as the source for the authentic Allman Brothers Band sound around Atlanta and throughout the Southeast. Rigged with vintage equipment, they interpret the Allman catalog in such a way that these songs written in the ’60s and ’70s come alive again. 7:00 PM To 10:00 PM

If the band has learned anything from performing these songs, it is the realization that even though The Allman Brothers Band has shut down, their music maintains the same power over people just as it did 45 years ago. It is a phenomenon TRIBUTE gladly verifies every time they hit the stage.

TRIBUTE recalls that unique period in American rock, when psychedelia ebbed and The Allman Brothers Band informed us what jazz, rock, country and blues could sound like. Comprised of musicians with decades of performance experience, the members of TRIBUTE bring their shared love of The Allman Brothers Band to life when it comes time for hittin’ the note.
