The inaugural South Walton Adventure Run was an adventure-filled weekend for adults and kids. The event, sponsored by SoWal.com, challenged runners from every ability at beautiful Topsail Hill Preserve State Park. 

The fun masquerade ball was Friday night. Saturday’s 1 mile kid run was a scaled down version of the 5k, with obstacles and pirates – so runners had to guard their booty in order to win prizes! There were different age brackets for this event.

The semi-annual Seaside Community Yard Sale is a blast. Everyone loves a bargain and the excitement is off the charts. Some vendors arrive at 3:30 AM to set up and the first shoppers arrive earlier than the early bird to get the worm. You never know what you might find, from a funky piece of local art, to a bolt of fabulous fabric, to a cranky old fishing reel.
