Happy Fourth of July from Course and Coast!
As fireworks light up the skies and the stars and stripes wave proudly in the summer breeze, all of us at Course and Coastwant to wish our readers a joyful, safe, and meaningful Fourth of July!
Skidaway Island knows how to celebrate in style—from backyard BBQs to dazzling displays in Deer Creek. Whether you’re staying close to home or heading to The Landings for the annual fireworks show, we hope you’re soaking up every moment with family, friends, and neighbors.
Safety First—Celebrate Smart
As exciting as fireworks are, it’s important to keep safety top of mind. Here are a few quick reminders to ensure everyone—big and small—has a safe and stress-free holiday:
- Protect young ears: Children’s hearing is especially sensitive. If you’re attending fireworks shows, consider using ear protection like noise-canceling headphones or earmuffs.
- Don’t forget the pets: Dogs, cats, and even wildlife can be startled or traumatized by loud noises. Keep pets indoors, turn on calming music, and talk to your vet about anxiety aids if needed.
- Stay fire-safe: If you’re lighting sparklers or home fireworks (where legal), keep water nearby and follow all safety guidelines. Avoid dry areas and always supervise children.
Honoring the Spirit of Independence
While we enjoy the cookouts, concerts, and coastal views, let’s also take a moment to reflect on the freedoms we’re so fortunate to enjoy—and the people who made them possible.
Whether you’re on the golf course, at the marina, or lounging on the porch with a cold drink, Course and Coast is proud to be part of your life on Skidaway Island.
From our family to yours:
Have a sparkling, safe, and unforgettable Independence Day!
