Michael Phelps isn’t so great. Let’s see him race when he’s 80. Serena? When she hits 100, she can talk. This documentary meets athletes in the National Senior Olympics. So, why was it we didn’t work out today?

New Belgium makes tasty beers — especially its hard-to-find Lips of Faith series. And fans make interesting short films — they call them Clips of Faith. Come enjoy both when the tour rolls through town.
WHO: New Belgium Brewery, with proceeds to Charleston Moves
WHEN: 7-10 tonight
WHERE: Marion Square in downtown Charleston
|
We thought summer ended last weekend, but if a group that calls itself the Bruisin’ Betties wants to say otherwise, we ain’t arguing. They and Holy City Chaos will battle it out with Augusta’s teams. In the summer.
WHO: Lowcountry Highrollers; proceeds benefit Fields to Families
WHEN: 6 p.m. Saturday (Holy City Chaos at 5 p.m.)
WHERE: McAlister Field House at The Citadel

WHO: Charleston Restaurant Association
WHEN: Friday through Sunday
WHERE: Several locations around Charleston

Celebrate the salty goodness of the peanut. Mix it with some candy corn (you’re welcome). The highlight may be the crowning of Miss Bonneau — do we call her Miss Peanut? Does she wear a monocle?

WHEN: Today through Saturday
WHERE: Bonneau Town Park
|
If you’re up for tackling 17 obstacles that involve crawling up a high platform, jumping onto a cargo net, crossing a floating bridge and getting muddy, then you’re wilder than we are. Good on you.

WHERE: Legare Farms, 2620 Hanscombe Point Road on Johns Island
