Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani gave a surprise performance together on their two week wedding anniversary!

The country superstar, 45, and No Doubt singer, 51, celebrated their two week wedding anniversary with a surprise performance during Country Thunder Music Festival in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin on Sunday (July 18). While Shelton was scheduled to headline the Sunday night event, Stefani was not billed but Shelton surprised fans with his a performance alongside his beautiful wife.

The newlyweds performed their chart-topping duets, including “Nobody But You” and “Happy Anywhere,” in addition to their duets, the couple also performed No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak.”

“That’s my wife and best friend, Gwen Stefani everybody,” Shelton gushed as his wife, Stefani, entered the stage.

“Gwen Shelton everybody,” Shelton said, before the couple shared a kiss and the crowd erupted into a cheering frenzy.

See some fan captured footage of their performance below.

Shelton and Stefani recently tied the knot on the “Minimum Wage” singer’s ranch in Oklahoma.

After six years together, the “Happy Anywhere” singers exchanged vows during an intimate ceremony in front of their closest family and friends. The Carson Daly-officiated ceremony took place inside a chapel on Shelton’s ranch, built exclusively for the superstar couple to say their “I Do’s.”

Additionally, Shelton’s Friends And Heroes Tour kicks off later this summer on August 18 in Nebraska and will run through October. The country hitmaker’s tour comes in support of his latest album, Body Language, which was released earlier this year. The 12-track project includes his 28th No. 1 single “Happy Anywhere” and his recent single “Minimum Wage.”

It’s unclear if Stefani will be joining Shelton on the road for his upcoming trek, but fans are hoping that he brings her out during his shows for a stripped down acoustic performance, similar to what fans got to witness at Ole Red during rehearsals.

The tour includes support from Martina McBride, Tracy Byrd, Trace Adkins and Lindsay Ell. See a full list of tour dates below.

With the announcement of Peak Drift Brewing opening on North Main Street in Columbia, SC in 2023, comes the question of what are the state’s largest breweries?

Peak Drift will be the largest brewery by square footage in South Carolina upon completion at nearly 64,000 square feet of total indoor space and 15,000 square feet of dedicated production space.

The South Carolina Brewers Guild estimates that these five breweries are the runners up:

Three of South Carolina’s largest breweries are in the Charleston-area, including Westbrook. The Mount Pleasant brewery has 18,500 square feet, according to reports from the Post and Courier.

Westbrook regularly has 22 rotating beers on tap, in bottles, cans and crowlers, said its website. The brewery opened at 510 Ridge Road in 2010.

Husband and wife duo Morgan and Edward Westbrook own the brewery that created the sought-after Mexican Cake imperial stout that is released once a year and its signature White Thai Belgian-style wheat beer.

This North Charleston brewery has 20,000 square feet in a re-adapted warehouse in the Park Circle neighborhood.

Holy City Brewing began in 2011 after two Charleston ricksaw business partners took up home brewing, according to the company’s website. The business expanded into its current building in 2019 and has a four-vessel, thirty-barrel brewing system.

Holy City Brewing is opening its own event space on the marsh in Charleston soon.

Charleston’s Edmund’s Oast brewery has 20,000 square feet, but the company also has a separate restaurant and an “exchange” retail store, bringing it to the third largest brewery in South Carolina.

The brewery is known for its funky and creative brews, usually in the black and white cans. Its most popular beers include the Bound by Time IPA and the Something Cold Blonde Ale.

Edmund’s Oast opened in 2017 and started canning operations in 2018 at its 1505 King St. location.

Thomas Creek Brewery has at least 23,000 square feet, according to TripAdvisor. The brewery has been family-owned since 1998, making it one of the oldest and largest breweries in Greenville County.

Father and son duo Bill and Tom Davis focus on using water from the Blue Ridge Mountains as the base for their craft beers.

Thomas Creek’s flagship brew was the River Falls Red Ale that is still in production.

Sumter’s first brewery is also the largest brewery in the state at 30,000 square feet and three stories tall.

The building at 2 South Main St. has a 15 barrel brewing system and is owned by Gray Shuler. Troy Bervig is the head brewer and has experience brewing across the Midwest after quitting his job in the medical field to become a brewer.

Sumter Original Brewery opened in March 2020 and offers a variety of beers, a full bar, rooftop and a game room.

South Carolina Ports Authority celebrated a banner year for its Port of Charleston complex.

The port system handled a record 2.55 million TEUs in its fiscal year that ended on June 30, a 9.6% increase from fiscal year 2020, at the Port of Charleston’s Wando Welch, North Charleston and Hugh K. Leatherman terminals.

Although fiscal year 2021 kicked off last July 2020 amid nationwide business shutdowns brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, South Carolina Ports Authority (SC Ports) and others soon afterward faced an unanticipated boom in imports as consumers’ buying habits shifted from services and travel to retail and home goods, SC Ports said Tuesday.

As a result, SC Ports experienced record monthly year-over-year container volumes between March and June 2021, including volume strength in SC Ports’ containerized, vehicle and inland port business segments.

“While the global pandemic has placed great strain on global supply chains, it has also highlighted how incredibly vital maritime, motor carrier and logistics workers are to the supply chain,” SC Ports President and CEO Jim Newsome said. “They are keeping freight moving while handling unprecedented cargo increases. We owe them much gratitude for their hard work over the past year.”

In fiscal year 2021, SC Ports moved 1.42 million pier containers, a 7.7% increase year-over-year.

Vehicle volume at the Columbus Street Terminal was 253,981 vehicles, a 27% increase from fiscal year 2020.

Meanwhile, SC Ports’ two rail-served inland ports set cargo records, with recorded rail moves up 11.7% to 192,844. Of this, Inland Port Greer moved 12.6% more year-over-year, at 157,842 rail moves, while Inland Port Dillon rail moves rose nearly 7.9% to 35,002.

Besides experiencing record volumes in fiscal year 2021, SC Ports noted on Tuesday additional milestones for the year.

It began an expansion at Inland Port Greer, made additional enhancements to the Wando Welch Terminal and “saw significant progress” with the Charleston Harbor Deepening Project, which will yield 52 feet of depth in 2022, SC Ports said.

SC Ports also noted that phase one of the Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal began operations in March. The terminal is the first greenfield container terminal to open in the U.S. since 2009, and it adds a 1,400-foot berth and 700,000 TEUs of capacity to the Port of Charleston, SC Ports said.

“We have planned our capacity well for the next decade and beyond with the infrastructure that we are delivering,” Newsome said. “In fiscal year 2022, we will continue to invest in our port to provide more capacity and reliability for our customers as we grow above the market. We have the best team and maritime community to accomplish our goals in the year ahead.”

June volumes were also a record for SC Ports, with its container business moving 231,758 TEUs, a 48.1% increase from June 2020 and a 15.6% increase from June 2019.

The Port of Charleston handled 128,622 pier containers in June, which is up 44.5% from June 2020 and up 13.8% from June 2019.

Vehicles handled totaled 23,096, a 60.7% increase from June 2020 and a 25.3% increase from June 2019.

June rail moves at Inland Port Greer and Inland Port Dillon were 13,383 and 2,593, respectively.
