Getting Ready to Greet Our Canadian Friends!
The annual Canadian-American Days Festival is nearing and events are slated for March 1 - 16This year's festival promises to be one of the best and biggest Cam-Am events yet!
Can-Am Days are held during Ontario's school vacation week each year in March, giving our Canadian neighbors the opportunity to head south for a week or so and soak up some much needed sun and warmer, milder temperatures. Various events are planned throughout the duration of the festival and will include the National Shag Dance Championship, a reception, St. Patrick's Day parade, fireworks, concerts and much much more.
For four decades, this event has welcomed northern vacationers to sunny, beautiful South Carolina and the beaches of the Grand Strand.
Hard Rock Theme Park nears completion
The Hard Rock Theme Park, being built on land adjacent to the old Waccamaw Pottery off Highway 501 in Myrtle Beach is nearing completion. The park, which expects to open its gates with a "soft opening" in mid April and be in full swing by mid-May, 2008.
The park has five different sections, including Rock & Roll Heaven, British Invasion, Born in the USA, Lost in the 70's and Cool Country. With 3 rollercoasters, spin rides and live shows, the Hard Rock Theme Park will have something for every member of the family.
Led Zeppelin, The Ride, the park's "signature" rollercoaster sends you 15 stories high at speeds up to 65 miles per hour and loops six times – all set to Zeppelin’s
“Whole Lotta Love”. It begins at a huge silver airship, as if
you are stepping onto the cover of Led Zeppelin’s debut album. Once inside, Led
Zeppelin music and videos play throughout the queue, leading to a studio area
where rockers are treated to a moving, multimedia show before climbing aboard
the coaster.
The park is located within an easy drive down Highway 31 (The Carolina Bays Parkway) from North Myrtle Beach.
