Good morning, Myrtle Beach.

The World’s Largest Rubber Duck known as Mama Duck is leaving Myrtle Beach early due to a weather-related malfunction that deflated the 60‑foot display.

Although it was set to remain along Ocean Boulevard until today, high winds caused a tear that forced organizers to pack the duck up ahead of schedule.

The world's largest rubber duck, Mama Duck, was packed up early from Myrtle Beach after a tear from high winds — it was scheduled to remain until today.

Local groups held water safety events on Saturday at Burroughs and Chapin Pavilion Park with free swim lessons offered.

On Friday morning, officers killed in the line of duty from Horry, Georgetown, and Marion counties were honored in the Peace Officers’ Memorial in Horry County — a ceremony hosted by the Fraternal Order of Police with local agency members, friends, and family present.

More than 1,000 Horry Electric Cooperative customers lost power when a vehicle crashed into a transformer at the Burgess substation on May 10.

Myrtle Beach will open its first indoor 40,000 square foot virtual reality center (Interactive Experience Unleashed) in June with games, laser tag, an indoor playground for kids, a café, a gift shop and party rooms.

The center will host a job fair from May 12th to 14th between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. at 7621 N. Kings Hwy (offering over 60 jobs in management, service and marketing).

A 24-year-old Horry County man was arrested and charged with 5 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor after a search warrant was executed following an online tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children—state prosecutors will handle the case.

Spectators enjoyed family day during day three of the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic on May 10—organizers said tee times for the final round were pushed back due to possible overnight rain.

At the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, a new beach-themed merchandise tent called the Sand Bucket Surf Shop opens daily at 8 a.m.—it offers bright clothes, hats, sand putter covers, and gator print items.

Organizers plan to restock inventory nightly—and any remaining merchandise will be available online.
