After a long legal battle that has taken place over several decades, Horry County officials feel they are on the verge of finally creating a permanent road maintenance fund that will withstand any future lawsuits.

The Southeast’s premier youth soccer tournament was once again held in the local area, with much of the action taking place at the North Myrtle Beach Park and Sports Complex.
