As the new President emphasized service today, I was reminded of the job my volunteer board of directors, our staff and volunteers do for our community.
The Big Rock is a labor of love for the board. They diligently work each year for the success of the tournament so that it will benefit the lives of the charities and worthy organizations it supports.
I am also reminded of the many other tournaments in our area that were born from Big Rock’s success and extend their own gifts of service to our area. I am very proud to serve under that umbrella.

-The Beaufort Task Force met this morning to discuss the parking issues in downtown Beaufort. As one of the major events that take place in this town, the Big Rock is asked to serve to make recommendations for this ongoing issue. The bulk of the meeting was focused on a “mixed use” parking situation that includes satellite parking at the Gallants Channel site. The town will focus on enforcement of their decisions, i.e. parking tickets, so participants need to be aware of the changes the town intends to make. Unfortunately the Beaufort Town Docks were built without parking stipulations and both boaters and store owners will suffer in the final decisions. It does seem that the task force is made of up of mostly level headed individuals and compromise will be the prevailing theme. If you have thoughts about this issue, please send them to me at director@thebigrock.com -
