The Surf 1

June is busting out all over!

June is named for Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. Many believe it is good luck to marry in June, and it is indeed the most popular month for wedding nuptials.

June 1 is the official beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. (All those newlyweds can huddle together when the winds start to blow!). You will be hearing more soon on what you need to do in emergency preparation in case we have a hurricane scare on the Grand Strand. Can you believe this is the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Hugo? 2009 is also the 10th anniversary for Hurricane Floyd.

Americans honor our Stars and Stripes on June 14. Although many had unofficially been hoisting their flags on June 14 for years, Flag Day did not become a legal holiday until 1949 when President Harry Truman signed an Act of Congress designating it as such. We all know that there are 50 stars on our flag, one for each state, and 13 stripes in alternating red and white that symbolize the original 13 colonies. Here’s a stumper for you…is it red or white that marks both the top and bottom stripe?

June 21 is the first day of summer and is the longest day in terms of sunlight in the year.
June 21 is also Father’s Day. You know we celebrated moms in May…now it’s Dad’s turn!

Yes, the tourist season is upon us, but 94.9 the Surf is too busy to take a vacation!
We have an active BEACH PARTY schedule this summer, including weekly live broadcasts at different locations in our area. Check the EVENTS page for time and place (PARTY WITH US, then EVENTS). Locals love these remotes, and we invite everyone who visits our area on vacation to join us.
