Fall has finally arrived in Sunbury.  The hardwood leaves are at peak color and as brilliant as any in New Hampshire.  If we just had some hills to showcase them our motels would be full with tourists.  If we had a motel.

Christmas events all over Sunbury/Dorchester this Saturday.  Look for a follow-up e-mail for details.

On Sandy Run Road west of Riceboro is a historical marker dedicated to Simon Munro.  Munro was a planter/merchant who was banished from  Georgia (and east Florida) early in the revolution for his British sympathies.  He made his way to the Bahamas, Jamaica, West Florida, and finally St. Augustine.  After the British took control of Georgia, Munro was assigned a position with the occupying govt.  Before leaving Savannah after the war, Munro was arrested for trying to visit his wife and family.  230 years ago this month the Crown awarded him an annual subsistence of 8 pounds sterling a year for his losses.  Old friends from happier days in St John’s Parrish (Liberty County) successfully petitioned to have Munro returned in good standing.   The silver communion service in use for many years at Midway Church was a gift from Munro.

The Midway All-Stars step out to play a private function this Saturday but return in time to play Sunday Music at the Crab… No Cover….$2 Bud Lite Draft.

Don’t forget Eric Culberson on the 22^nd.  Eric opened for Randall Bramblett at the 2009 Blue Crab Fest.  You can see a clip of that performance on You-Tube.  And a great video of Randall Bramblett as well.  Thanks to dpizza for filming and posting. 

Michael Hulett with pianist Brenden Polk on the 29^th.

After the new moon tides calm and the water clears there should be a another good run of fishing.  Sunbury Marina is still catching bait.
