McClellanville Recycling Reminder
February 2nd, 2008 Uncategorized Jason No Comments
Just a reminder for anyone interested in supporting the recycling pick-up cause that I will be addressing the Town Council at this months meeting at the Town Hall on Monday, February 4th at 7 p.m. This is about one months worth of recycling from the three people at my house. Imagine how much recycling each of the approximately 200 homes in McClellanville produces every year. Now imagine the amount of trips to the dump by each person that means and how many people dont bother because of the hassle. I hope to see you at the meeting. You dont have to speak, in fact the meeting will go on for days if everyone speaks, but you can show Town Council how you feel about the issue. Thank You, Daniel Bates
14 Foot Alligator in McClellanville
February 2nd, 2008 Uncategorized Jason No Comments
Word usually gets around in McClellanville when there is an alligator in Jeremy Creek. In all my time on the water, Ive never seen one, but I occasionally hear reports of sightings and Ive seen them in freshwater ponds in the area. Theyre usually young gators less than 6 feet in length that dont stay long in their search for fresher water, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw this 14 foot long alligator just standing there only a few feet from Pinckney Street. 
OK, you got me. This isnt a real alligator, but one of local artist, Lee Arthurs, most recent creations. Made entirely out of driftwood the amount of detail that went into the creation of this sculpture is incredible. Every bump and knot in the wood looks just like a real alligators skin and the twists in the wood look like an alligators bulging arm muscles. 
The alligator can be seen on display at Arthur Studio & Gallery at 851 Pinckney Street. You truly have to see this work of art up close to appreciate the artistry, these pictures do not do it justice. Stop by and take it, or another one of his paintings or sculptures, home with you.
Lee Arthur is one of many local, talented artists that call McClellanville their home and find it to be the perfect inspiration for their work. If youd like to make McClellanville youre new home, contact me today.
