Benee invited me out today to the Isle of Palms Anniversary party. It was held at the Marina with food, games, and live music.

The party had a little bit of a Pirate theme.

To keep with the Pirate theme there was a costume contest for the kids. The pink pirate on the right was a little disappointed she did not win.

She was a happier when she found out all the contestants got ice cream.


This girl was the winner and she shows us her vicious pirate face.

Even with a pet division I only saw one dog ready to compete.

The adults also had a costume contest.

There was a dunk tank. The Mayor of IOP was up for a little while. It was the first time I have seen someone arm themselves and fight back at a dunk tank.

The Mayor's little water gun did not help keep him dry.

The dunk tank was also manned by one of the councilmen.
