Celebrating Our Heritage: Horry County to Honor Three Legacy Businesses on May 7

On May 7, 2024, Horry County will recognize three local businesses for their long-standing contributions through the Legacy Business Recognition Program. This event, organized by the Horry County Historic Preservation Commission, will include ribbon-cutting ceremonies at various locations in North Myrtle Beach and Little River, South Carolina. The ceremonies are free and open to the public.

The first event will be at 10:00 a.m. at Beachwood Golf Club, located at 1520 Highway 17 South in North Myrtle Beach. Since its establishment in 1968 by Dick Elliott, Blakeney Jackson, and Carl King Rust, the club has hosted numerous golf tournaments and has been a community favorite for over five decades.

At 10:45 a.m., the North Myrtle Beach Times will be honored. Founded in 1971 by Polly Lowman, this newspaper has been the primary news source for the community for over 50 years. The ceremony will take place at its office at 203 North Kings Highway in North Myrtle Beach.

The last ceremony will occur at 11:45 a.m. at Eagle Nest Golf Club, 401 Eagles Nest Road in Little River. Opened in 1971 and designed by Dick Elliott and Gene Hamm, the golf course is known for its resident bald eagle’s nest and has been a key community site.
