Bucks in the Boro!

Bucks in the Boro is a campaign put on by the town of Walterboro encouraging locals to shop locally instead of coming to the "big city" of Charleston to shop.  All the local businesses are involved, and if you shop at one of the local stores, they give you a nice "Bucks in the Boro" tote bag!

The Mr. and I traveled to Walterboro on Saturday.  It didn't take us long from our house to get there.  In fact, it's shorter (time wise) for us to go to Walterboro than down town Charleston when you factor in parking. 

Walterboro has a small "cute" downtown area with lots of little shops.  The two that I have been to are Colleton's Fine Clothing and Especially Yours Too.  I plan to take my mother-in-law to Walterboro when she visits us next because there is lots of antique shopping to be found in the 'boro!




Oh!  The food we ate!  Duke's BBQ!!  Don't think you can beat that!!

So, if you are looking for a day trip somewhere and enjoy to shop, consider the Boro!!
