Schiller & Hamilton - September/October 2020

T TALK ABOUT STATS

From candy corn to cool breezes at fall festivals, there’s nothing quite like the fall in South Carolina. But this year, the season may look a little different. Even though we all have to try to stay safe and practice social distancing, we don’t have to give up what makes fall so great. Try these three family-friendly fall activities to stay safe and enjoy the best that a South Carolina fall has to offer. CORN MAZES Start your fall adventure by getting lost! Corn mazes stimulate your family’s problem-solving and teamwork abilities, while offering a safe, socially distanced way to celebrate fall. And there’s no shortage of options. Check out the Field of Scream haunted corn maze in Cherokee County for some hair-raising adventures or venture northeast of Beaufort to the family-friend West Farm Corn Maze, where other activities like hay rides and a pumpkin patch are available as well. You just might find a new tradition and a favorite local farm to support. CAMPING We’re pretty lucky to enjoy gorgeous weather in South Carolina all year long, but fall is when our natural beauty is put on display. Catch some of the gorgeous reds, yellows, purples, and oranges in local forests as you sit by a toasty campfire on a cool autumn day. A camping adventure just might be the perfect, peaceful escape your family needs, but be sure to stock up on warm socks, sweaters, and blankets. The nights will be cold, but not sweating or having to swat away mosquitos during your adventure will be well worth it. HARVEST AT HOME The South Carolina peach season is just ending this September, so it’s the perfect time to try some new fall recipes at home. Whip up a peach cobbler for the family or challenge each other to a cooking competition using only locally grown peaches and other produce. Fall is the perfect time to try local foods and support local farmers. (Plus, the health benefits of local, seasonal fruits and vegetables cannot be denied!) We’re willing to bet you’ll find a favorite recipe that will become a staple in harvest seasons to come. Please inquire with individual businesses about their COVID-19 hours and precautions. Visit DiscoverSouthCarolina.com for more socially distanced yet exciting fall activities.

Rather than focus on the number of games a team has won, “HORSE” discusses the number of tweets angry players have posted on Twitter. They also rank rap songs that mentioned the NBA, discuss why team names don’t make sense, and even talk about the time when Michael Jordan was almost seriously injured by a samurai. The stats and celebrities of the NBA suddenly seem more accessible after learning that professional basketball teams have just as much drama as you and your office mates. “We only talk about drama and history and ridiculousness,” says Silver. “We don’t want to talk about whether or not LeBron James is the best basketball player of all time. We would like to talk about the time that one of LeBron’s teammates was dating his mom and like that’s ... it’s infinitely more interesting … It gets you to become a basketball fan in a totally different way.”
