You can take the girl out of Beaufort, but you can't take Beaufort out of the girl.

Robert signed the lease yesterday. We are moving to a tiny town just outside of Savannah. The town is called Bloomingdale. I have high hopes for Bloomingdale. I am sure flowers will bloom in Bloomingdale! The town is approximately 2000 people. Autumn pointed out that our new town is the same size as our church! Interesting trivia.

Son, Joshua, has volunteered with the fishing tournament, kayak and raft races. Daughters, Rena Barton and Rainey Schott have volunteered at headquarters and with Children's day. Wilmot would also like to recognize his Mother-in-law, Myrtle Mickel, for all of the support she has given to help out with festival such as sewing, cooking, and laundry services.
Wilmot's memories of the Beaufort Water Festival have been everlasting. Wilmot expresses it "I would like to thank the community for all the memories of years growing up in Beaufort County and I hope I can give back as much to the community as it has given to me".
A Beaufort Native, Wilmot is the Senior Building Inspector for the Beaufort County Building Codes Department.
