The Hilton Head Wine & Food Festival will host its annual Sip & Stroll from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 27, in the lovely plaza amid The Shops at Sea Pines Center.

Here on our fortunate island, in our lovely community, even the everyday things can be pretty special, when we simply pause and take a look around.

We want to share a different way of seeing these early days of our fresh, new year, and one you might find more encouraging.

We don’t treat it as a given, succeeding for more than 30 years here among The Shops at Sea Pines Center.
