Whether you’ve known it as Tybee Island or Savannah Beach, whether you love its history, beautiful beaches, dolphins and turtles, or salt water marshes, whether you come to sit in the sun, swim in the surf, or indulge in some great seafood, it’s TYBEE TIME come October 20th and 21st of 2007.
Tybee Island will celebrate its 120th anniversary with a two-day event starting on October 20.
“Everyone knows about the beach, but what we’re trying to do is highlight the other things Tybee has to offer,” explained Vernon. The celebration will center around Tybee’s history and cultural heritage, with period costumes, music and games from 1887.

“The whole celebration came about from a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts and the goal of that grant, which was also matched by the City of Tybee Island [was]…to have more cultural-heritage-type events,” Vernon told us. “And the timing worked out perfectly too, being that we liked the sound of, ‘a dozen decades’ of cultural heritage.”
But that’s not all this anniversary has to offer. Food will be a main event next weekend with the Georgia Shrimpers Association providing locally caught shrimp for everyone to enjoy. The Marine Rescue Squadron will be having a Low Country boil and many local restaurants will be featuring special dishes.

Tybee’s Mayor has taken to the cyber airways in his fight to gain federal funding for replenishing the roughly 2.5 miles of beachfront on the island.
The town has posted a 10-minute video on YouTube.com, the enormously popular video-sharing site, starring Mayor Jason Buelterman.
"I’ve been surprised at the amount of response, particularly from the media," Buelterman said.
This YouTube lobbying effort was recently featured in the Washington, D.C. publication, The Hill, who’s readership consists of primarily political insiders.
Buelterman said he was inspired to try this approach by 1st District Republican Congressman Jack Kingston’s use of the Internet to get his message out.
Buelterman said that the YouTube spot was primarily an educational tool. "Unlike states with more extensive coastlines, there’s a learning curve about this issue," he said.
Currently, Tybee must request funding from the federal and state government for beach re-nourishment. The video features the top five reasons to fund this project.

Bosses everywhere are going to love The Weather Channel. With maps being the number one draw for weather.com visitors, they have teamed up with Microsoft’s Virtual Earth to offer users the ability to see real time weather reports for streets in the U.S.
The Interactive Weather Map can be viewed in either a "road view", or a much cooler satellite view, with different color blobs from greens to grays denoting the weather conditions. Want to see the directional path of the weather condition in your area? Check out the animation feature in the lower right corner, this plays a cycle of animated satellite imagery data, perfect for scrubbing through time while you watch storms and weather systems progress [ via DownloadSquad ]

Presented by Tybee Fest, this one-of-a-kind event offers something for everyone – a variety of music for all ages, great food, and the beauty of one of Georgia’s natural treasures, Tybee Island.

The festival kicks off on Friday evening with a “V.I.P. Event†at the Youmans Solomon Complex, with The Classic Rock All-Stars. The Classic Rock All-Stars feature members from several of your favorite classic rock groups playing the hits from their respective bands.
The party continues Saturday afternoon with more music at North Beach in the shadow of the Tybee Island Lighthouse including Cuba Gooding, Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs, and Clarence Carter. The Classic Rock All-Stars will return to the stage for a finale on Saturday night.
