Richmond Hill City Council approved a pair of requests from the Richmond Hill-Bryan County Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night in regard to the Great Ogeechee Seafood Festival. Without discussion or questions, council first approved the chamber’s request to use J.F. Gregory Park for the event on Oct. 15-17. Next came approval for it to sell beer and wine. The fact the requests were being put before council spells good news for the Richmond Hill community and seafood lovers in the Coastal Empire. The festival (goseafoodfestival.com) has become a staple of the community over the years and it is one of the most popular seafood festivals in the Southeast.
