The Berkeley County School District invites the public to join in welcoming the start of the high school football season as seven Berkeley County high school teams go head-to-head Fri., Aug. 13 at the 5th annual Berkeley County Jamboree.  

The Jamboree is an annual pre-season fundraiser that benefits the athletic departments of the Berkeley County high schools.  The match-ups begin at 6 p.m. at Goose Creek High School, 1137 Redbank Rd.

Attendees can see all of the Berkeley County teams that went to the State AAAA playoffs last year, including the AAAA Division II Champion Berkeley High School Stags.  The Jamboree is also an important training event for this year’s newly forged teams, allowing them to experience real field play in front of a large crowd, something they have been training for all summer.

The Berkeley County Jamboree is open to the public. Admission is $6 per person at the door, and provides entry to view all seven fifteen-minute match-ups.  Proceeds will be split evenly among participating teams and will go to support their athletic programs.  For information on the

Berkeley County Jamboree, contact Reedy at 843-797-0871.

Wow, what a great time we had last night at the grand opening of the new single family model at Marrington Villas at Cobblestone, an Epcon Community.

Drew Sineath & Associates is the broker-in-charge for the community and we are happy to have the opportunity to work with such a fine company and established builder. Epcon came into the area not too long ago and began offering a new, high-end, luxury town homes in their signature pinwheel design. Recently they decided to add a new line of Single Family Detached homes that would offer the same luxury courtyard design with maintenance free living. Check out the recent article in the real estate section of The Post and Courier.

If you missed the event last night, don’t worry. The grand opening is extending to all weekend long. Stop by for a tour of all their courtyard villas and the new single home and make sure to ask about some of their awesome incentives!

27th Annual Lowcountry Oyster Festival “The World’s Largest Oyster Festival” 

1/31/10 at Boone Hall Plantation

The Charleston, SC region finished 2009 with 8,736 sales—up 1.0 percent from 2008. Supply was a different story in 2009 as the 19,111 new listings represented a drop of 3.1 percent from 2008. Strong sales and falling supply have helped bring the Months Supply of Inventory down to 12.8, a decline of 13.6 percent from a year ago and a sign that the market is moving slowly back towards equilibrium.

Drew Sineath & Associates Kicks Off 2010 with a Bang

Drew Sineath & Associates was at it again as we were out at the recent 1^st Annual Riverfront Race Festival this past weekend. The Fitness Expo was held at 10 Storehouse Row on the Navy Yard at Noisette Friday evening. The day began with the culmination of the kids ½ marathon. Each participant was asked to log 12 miles leading up to final 1.1 mile run on Friday. I must boast a little as my oldest daughter, Ellie, participated in the event. She ran the final 1.1 mile race in 7:46! She turned around the following day and competed in the 5K race and finished in just over 33 minutes. This is her first ever 5K. Way to go Ellie!

We had a wonderful time at the expo on Friday as we were able to once again pass out our awesome Drew Sineath & Associates “go green” grocery bags. The bags were a big hit! We met some wonderful people. There were well-seasoned race participants and some newbies to the ½ marathon distance. We saw plenty of new faces and some very familiar faces. I was able to meet Kendall Shows from Summerville SC. Kendall enjoys competing in triathlons. I had seen his face at several races but had never spoken to him. He finished the ½ marathon in 1:42. Nice race Kendall, and I’ll be calling you soon!

Trainer Tracy Barthold from Goose Creek SC was on hand and ran a wonderful race finishing at 1:50. Since that 2008 Charlie Post Race when I passed her near the finish line, Tracy has left me in the dust. Way to go Tracy! And to all of my triathlon buddies: you all blew past me. But I’ll be back! Hahahahah.   

This event also offered a 5K and a 10K race. The race coordinators hope to add a full marathon at the 2^nd Annual Riverfront Race Festival. I have got a long way to go to get back in full marathon shape. I’ll be working toward getting into triathlon shape starting in February. The race didn’t go as fast as I had hoped. I finished at 2:21 which is off from my 1:55 finishing time from the 2008 Save the Light ½ marathon at Folly Beach. But I had fun, nonetheless. I just thank God that the calf cramps held off enough to allow me to finish. And I owe a big thank you to Angie Klick from TrySports. Angie recommended some things that got me through the final two miles. If anyone has a way to rid themselves from getting calf cramps please share by sending me an email at drew@drewsineath.com.

Our next event will be the Flowertown Festival in March. Make sure to follow Drew Sineath & Associates on Twitter and Facebook. Make plans to come by our booth and say hello. Also be sure to register on our front page for Market Snapshot. As always stay safe and be blessed!

Whether you’re new to Charleston, SC or even lived here your whole life, here are a few ways to ring in 2010 in true Charleston Style.

Get Wet at the Dunleavy’s Pub Polar Plunge on Sullivan’s Island

Well, it may not be as cold as the northern waters at Conney Island in NY but rest asure that the Atlantic Ocean In January even in Charleston, SC will have you shaking to your core. That however will not stop over 2,500 people from taking the annual New Year’s Day plunge to help benefit the South Carolina chapter of Special Olympics. What started almost 20 years ago as a drunken dare between friends at Dunleavy’s Pub, this event has catapulted into a well known tradition bringing in more people than Memorial Day and the 4Th of July to Sullivan’s Island, SC. In 2002 the event teamed up to help the Special Olympics and has raised over $200,000 for the organization. Some people take pledges to plunge, while others just do it for the fun. Even if you decide to stay warm on the sand, there is still fun to be had. Like many events of this nature, there will certainly be costumes and wild get-ups. Be on the lookout for Precious P and Jolly Jake, the life-size polar bears as well as the “Bucket Brigade” carrying donation buckets. If you are looking for a new tradition to kick off your new year in Charleston, SC, then join the party at Dunleavy’s Pub, 2213-B Middle Street on Sullivan’s Island, at 11 a.m.  The plunge will take place at 2 p.m.
