South Carolina Boiled Peanut in Shell
Let the Peanut Party Begin!
Since 2006 Governor Mark Sanford sketched it in black and white that our official state snack is boiled peanuts. Okay, We can live with that. Those warm, soggy, can’t-get-enough-open-at-the-same-time boiled peanuts are invited to any luncheon or event that we host here at Abberly at West Ashley Apartment Homes.
It all started about 29 years ago, August 28th, 1982 with the first Peanut Party. Back then it was only a one day event. This year 2010 South Carolina kicked off the Peanut Festival with the SC Peanut Princess Pageant on July 31st. The Official Party isn’t until Friday, August 13th and it’ll start with the ‘Blessing of the Pots’ along with with a dazzling performance from th Pelion High School Band. There will be events going on all through Saturday the 14th. So you can make a weekend out of it.
The 29th SC Peanut Party will be chopped full of carnival rides, music and live entertainment. Al G.’s Roadhouse Band will keep our attention as Friday’s entertainment and on Saturday it’s truly an honor to have Black Cotton Biscuits bless our stage with their presence.
