We Love our GA Bulldawgs!

Aug. 27, 2008

Categorized in: Just for Fun!

Tagged with: football, fun, ga bulldogs

This Saturday, August 30^th, kicks off the 2008 Football Season with the Dawgs going up against the GA Southern Eagles between the hedges. But the game that is a phenomenal draw to our area and specifically St. Simons Island, is the GA/FLClassic held in Jacksonville, FL. on November 1^st. This game is rivalry personified to say the very least. This game has been named one of the top ten football rivalries by ESPN, College Football News, The Sporting News, Fox Sports and America’s Best Online.

Bulldog fans have long enjoyed the commentary of Atlanta’s legendary radio voice, Larry Munson. Larry underwent surgery recently, and the Bulldog Nation is extremely hopeful that he will be the familiar voice announcing for the 43^rd Season. Mr. Munson coined the phrase for the GA/FL weekend for St. Simons as “the world’s largest cocktail party” which is certainly indicative of a lot of fans and fun going on for the build-up to this very special game.

We are handling rentals and property management now and are already getting calls from individuals getting their plans set for that timeframe. Give us a call if you’d like to plan your trip to the Golden Isles of GA.

Shrimp and Grits, A Southern Classic

Categorized in: Jekyll Island Information

Tagged with: fun, jekyll island, shrimp festival, southeast ga

The Jekyll Island Authority and the Wild GA Shrimp Assn. will be bringing the Shrimp and Grits: The Wild Georgia Shrimp Festival from September 19^th-21^st. This annual event is absolutely committed to upholding our fresh, wild GA shrimp versus “that imported variety from God only knows where” as well as their combination with a Southern staple---grits. Certainly other delicious seafood and shrimp dishes will also be available from several local restaurants, so bring your taste buds and come to Jekyll Island in Southeast GA for a truly entertaining experience. In addition to culinary delights, there will be wonderful music, a Family Fun Zone, vendors with arts and crafts, antiques and collectables. You will have the opportunity to take a tour of a “real” shrimp boat or to take a shrimp excursion over the weekend.

The setting for the event is in the quaint and charming historic district under moss draped oak trees. For more information on this event you can 877-4-JEKYLL or go to:

Or better yet, give me a call or an email for more details or events in this wonderful area. September and October are prime months to plan a visit to the Golden Isles as the average temperature for September is 77.9º and 69.6º for October. With the pleasant temperatures and our typical glorious weather, I can almost guarantee you’ll enjoy your stay. Give me a call!

The Bulldog Fans have Landed!

Oct. 26, 2007

Categorized in: Just for Fun!

Tagged with: fun, ga bulldogs, gafl football, st simons island

Our business and home is on St. Simons Island in Southeast GA. Thousands of avid University of GA football fans come in several days prior to the annual GA Bulldog/FL Gators face off in Jacksonville this Saturday afternoon. The traffic is already getting heavy with many vehicles displaying team flags in their windows and lots of tags with that big black "G" on a red background. I just sat down to read yesterday's local newspaper and the Golden Isles tourism prediction is that this event brings an estimated $1 million a day to our area! Two of my three children run a barbeque restaurant and last year the GA/FL weekend rivaled the July 4^th sales.

I believe it may have been Larry Munson, long-time announcer of Bulldog Football, who hailed St. Simons Island on this weekend as the World's Largest Cocktail Party. I am not attending the game, but will be in the office hoping to meet some of the visitors who are interested in masking this special place their home.
