Jekyll Island Beach Music Festival & BBQ Bash 2009

Aug. 19, 2009
Categorized in: Jekyll Island Information

Jekyll Island is the place to be this weekend for fun, music and great eats. This year’s event has the added plus of a barbeque competition along with the expected enjoyment of some of the best shag dancing in the Southeast! 

Friday, 8/21, from 6-8 pm, reserve your spot at Morgan’s Bar & Grill where you can enjoy pre-concert entertainment complete with sample BBQ from Southern Soul Restaurant and wine tasting provided by The Still and Winery both of St. Simons Island. The concert begins at 8:30 pm at the convention center and the ever popular Swingin’ Medallions will of course be entertaining with such favorites as “Double Shot of my Baby’s Love” and more. 

 On Saturday the schedule is full with shag lessons from none other Glynn County’s Sheriff, Wayne Bennett and wife, and the barbeque competition tasting beginning at 1:00. The free concert on the beach is from 1-6 and then the evening ends again at the Convention Center with more great music featuring Jim Quick and Coastline. Put on your dancing shoes for the shag contest which begins at 10:15 that night.

The Musical Classic, Grease, will be presented August 16th

Aug. 7, 2009
Categorized in: Just for Fun!

JMM Productions had originally planned to show this rockin’n’rollin classic musical on July 19th, but had to reschedule due to rain. Please note that that on Sunday, August 16th, you can bring your blanket or lawn chairs to Neptune Park in the Village of St. Simons Island for a free movie presentation of Grease with Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta. The Park opens at 5 pm and the movie begins at dusk.   The plan for September 6 is the animated movie Ice Age which is a winner for children and adults alike. This one is a favorite of my two grandchildren, Amelia and Lance.

 Please call on me if you have any questions or wish information on happenings in the Golden Isles or the current real estate market in Glynn County.

Looking for a FREE fun, family outing on St. Simons Island? In Neptune Park right at the Casino in the Village you can view on a 36 ft wide, 25 ft. high movie screen movies under the stars. All you need bring along is your lawn chair or blanket and enjoy the movie while visiting and picnicking with your friends and family. The Park opens at 4 pm and the movie presentation begins at dusk.

Annual Brunswick Stewbilee

Jul. 20, 2007
Categorized in: Just for Fun!
Brunswick Rockin’ Stewbilee
 
Save the date & make your plans to be in downtown Brunswick, GA., on Sat. 10/13/07 for this annual event (a trip to our area couldn’t be better than in Oct. & Nov.). Our area has long staked claim to being the creator of the tasty concoction known as Brunswick Stew. Whether that assertion is accurate or not, I don’t know---but I do know you’ll have the opportunity to taste test many of the area’s best versions in the stew competition. The event begins that morning with a 5K race, a best dressed dog parade & car show. And to top it off, I’ve saved the best for last, . . The Neville Brothers live in concert! The Vic Waters Band (popular entertainer from McIntosh Co.) will be a special guest as well. I remember my 1st experience hearing Vic probably 25 years ago in a little juke joint in the woods somewhere in McIntosh Co. with sawdust on the floor. There was only 1 bathroom, for girls, and the men’s bathroom was outside somewhere in the back & in the dark! 
 
The location is Mary Ross Waterfront Park which is right on the Brunswick River’s edge and should make for a fabulous backdrop to enjoy an evening of music & friends. Contact me if you need more information on planning a trip to check out firsthand why so many people are making Coastal GA their choice.
