Letter from the Chief Operating Officer

Palmetto Bluff Members,

This November and December, our community comes alive with gatherings that capture the magic of the season— inviting you to slow down, savor special moments, and create lasting memories with family and friends.

We begin the month with the May River Classic Horse Show on Saturday, November 1, a tradition that showcases the beauty and talent of our equestrian community. From there, the calendar fills with activities for every age and interest—PBGO After School adventures, creative art workshops, and hands-on experiences at the Farm and on the water. Sip & Savour weekend returns, promising great dining and beverage pairings. Thanksgiving brings cherished traditions like the Turkey Trot 5K, Thanksgiving Supper, and the joyful Lighting of the Village.

In December, enjoy family favorites like Breakfast at the Barn, the Holiday Boat Parade, and the Holiday Farmers Market. Children can delight in holiday-themed PBGO events from ornament making to cookie decorating and even the Polar Express Experience, while adults can enjoy the Member Holiday Party on Friday, December 12.

The year ends with our New Year’s Eve Celebration: Countdown & Confetti, where coming together with fellow Members marks the start of a bright new year.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the beauty of the Lowcountry and the spirit of the holidays—all right here at home.

Warm Regards,

Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Casserole

Recipe by Registered Dietitian, Lindsay Ford

PUREE:

- 3 SWEET POTATOES, LARGE, BAKED AND SKIN PEELED/REMOVED

- 1 CUP PUMPKIN PUREE

- 3 T. BUTTER, MELTED

- 1 EGG, LARGE

- 1 TSP KOSHER SALT

- 1 TSP CINNAMON, GROUND

- 1 TSP NUTMEG, GROUND

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

TOPPING:

- 1 CUP WALNUTS, WHOLE

- 1 CUP PECANS, WHOLE

- 1 T. BUTTER, MELTED

- 1 T. BROWN SUGAR OR SUGAR OF CHOICE

- 1 TSP KOSHER SALT

Place the sweet potatoes on a lightly oiled baking sheet or parchment paper. Bake the whole sweet potatoes until they are roasted and cooked through, 45-60 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large food processor, pulse the walnuts and pecans until you get a breadcrumb texture or the texture of your choice. Pour the nuts into a separate bowl then toss with the butter, brown sugar and salt. Set aside.

Carefully peel the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are cooled enough to touch. Place the peeled sweet potatoes in the food processor. Pulse or puree until mostly smooth.

Add pumpkin puree, melted butter, egg and seasonings to the sweet potato puree and pulse or puree until smooth.

Lightly oil or butter a 13x9 casserole dish. Spread the sweet potato and pumpkin puree into the dish.

Sprinkle the pecan mixture on top of the puree. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-30 minutes or until the center is hot and cooked through (bake times vary due to type of oven).

DECEMBER ARTIST IN RESIDENCE - PAM WHITE | D ecember 3 - 6

She paints water using fire and manufactures her interpretation of what she sees. The unpredictability of the encaustic wax medium is a constant inspiration and challenge for her, which in turn inspires and helps her continually challenge herself to grow as an artist.

ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER

Spotlight on Service Brewing Company Octagon, Buzz, River House, & Hush Montage Palmetto Bluff restaurants are proud to carry Service Brewing Company products—during Veterans Month, and year-round. A West Point graduate and former Army commander, Kevin Ryan was ready for a new mission—one unexpectedly sparked by a Valentine’s Day gift. When his partner, Meredith Sutton, asked him about his interests, craft beer topped the list. Instead of a six-pack, she gave him home brewing supplies, igniting a hobby that quickly grew. In 2014, Kevin and Meredith launched Service Brewing with the help of nearly two dozen investors, most of them Army, Navy, and Marine Corps veterans. Kevin still leads the company, continuing to develop recipes and research the craft. Meredith, a SCAD graduate, designed the stunning Savannah tasting room based off of the stories Kevin told about his military experience and has creatively built the brand to pay homage to American military history. With the help of an eager and thirsty community, Service Brewing has helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for local, regional and national organizations that assist our veterans and first responders.
