For ticket information Click Here.



Why is it called the Westobou Festival? Between 1660 and 1680, the Westo Indians lived in an area between Augusta, GA, and North Augusta, SC, along the banks of the Westobou River. Today, that river is known as the Savannah River. The river was a valuable resource to the Westo Indians and remains an integral part of the Augusta Region, serving as the catalyst to stimulate an economic and cultural impact on the entire area. It is fitting that the Trustees of the Academy of Richmond County selected the name Westobou Festival in promoting their vision to advance excellence in the arts and celebrate Augusta's wealth of artistic talent.



I still haven't decided exactly who and what I am going to see ...but you can bet you'll see me there!

Coffee or Lunch on Marie in Augusta or Waynesboro Georgia

I am offering to take any potential clients to lunch or dinner if you are traveling to the Augusta Georgia area to visit Ft Gordon or Plant Vogtle or anyplace in between. I have noticed a number of members who have relatives in Augusta and Waynesboro Georgia and in other nearby areas. Sometimes, I hear that you were actually in town, but we didn't get a chance to meet.
I would like to change this.
Here is my offer: If you are going to be in or near the Ft Gordon Augusta Waynesboro Georgia area, I would be happy to take you out for lunch or coffee, my treat
I even promise to take you to a halfway decent restaurant, not McDonald's. :) If you would prefer to grab a coffee, Augusta is loaded with Starbucks and a few other places, so we won't have any trouble finding a good one, I’m sure. If you like, we could grab some BBQ at the Award Winning Sconyers in Augusta GA or in Waynesboro Georgia we can go to my favorite Taylors Bar-B-Que.
If you live within driving distance, and you are coming to Augusta Georgia for a day or two, let me know and we can get together for an hour or so to hang out. If you are flying in for an extended stay, I would be happy to help with any questions you might have about the area, or suggest some things to do while you're here.
If you have any travel plans bringing you to Augusta Georgia, bookmark this post and give me a call. I look forward to meeting you!
Thanks for reading!

Augusta Georgia still Has A Strong Real Estate Market

With all the negative financial news lately do you feel like the sky is falling?

How much of the national, state or even local situation can you personally change? Very little, right? We can only keep our positive attitude & realize everybody lives in a house & most would like to move if you can help make it happen. How will YOU help them get happily moved?

While other parts of the country are having tremendous difficulties we need to realize how fortunate we are to live & work in the CSRA Georgia.

Think about the "typical" CSRA employee.

Are they affected by these blips in the economy?

They work at seven major Hospitals & the Medical College of Georgia, The Savannah River Site, Defense Dept- Ft. Gordon, Child and Adult education plus the plants we have here make toilet paper & Tide soap! How many of these employers will cut back on their work force when things slow down? We still get sick, need a nuclear deterrent, need a military defense, must educate our curtain climbers, need toilet paper & we wash clothes.

Also realize that Ft. Gordon is still gaining numbers from BRAC, NSA & other National Security efforts.

How about Plant Vogtle? It will take 5-8 years and thousands of workers to complete the two new units. Not only will new jobs be created but the pay & benefits will be excellent. The painter/carpenter/plumber working in Augusta today for $8-12 an hour will have an opportunity to work there at a higher rate & more hours. They will be able to afford to move up. Plus ALL the new, incoming employees that go through Southern Co./ Ga. Power. I understand there will be over a projected 300 engineers alone. Plus the trades employees will need housing.

The first two units took about eight years to complete & I recall there were over 10,000 workers, some 3-4,000 at any one time.
When units I & II were built the entire market & especially South Augusta Georgia & Martinez Georgia experienced tremendous growth.

So as the rest of the country wonders about the future of the Real Estate market, we here in Augusta Georgia, CSRA can be fairly comfortable with the future of our Market.
