The Annual GA Bulldog vs. FL Gators Football Classic is this weekend!

Oct. 31, 2008
Categorized in: Just for Fun!

This annual rivalry between the University of GA and the University of FL football programs has been going on for enough years to earn the Bulldogs 46 recorded wins and the Gators 37 wins and 2 tied games!  Jacksonville, FL has long been the site for this game at the Municipal Stadium which is also the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars pro football team. While Jacksonville may be a neutral venue, it is located only 73 miles from Gainesville, FL which is the home town for the Gators. Athens, GA, home for the Bulldogs, is 342 miles north. These avid fans have made a science of tailgating in the parking lots and also at the Jacksonville Landing which faces the St. Johns River.  

 
Even Wikipedia attributes the nickname “The Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” to this highly touted game. I am sure both schools sincerely wish that title was never born as that is not the kind of message any athletic program wants to convey. But, I know there will be a lot of parties and excitement over the game right here on St. Simons Island. Busses and campers and cars emblazoned with “Bulldawg” flags are arriving for lodging here as we are only 45 minutes away from Saturday’s game. Merchants, restaurants and other retailers are hopeful for a significant infusion into our local economy. Whether or not these businesses follow the game, we all welcome the fans which come every year and enjoy the products and services we render. 

Game kick-off will be a 3:30 and televised if you are more inclined to watch in your recliner at home.

Beach Party 2008

Tagged with: beach, party, st simons island

Just last month we had our 2nd Beachcomber Beach Party at the beach in front of the Coast Guard Station on St. Simons Island.  50+ friends, clients and agents from our office joined us for a late afternoon picnic.

Here I am attempting to keep the skirt of my dress from flying over my head!

This is Russell and Katrina who just closed on their new home last week.

The weather cooperated famously providing a wonderful coastal breeze that kept away bugs who might have wanted to join in and provided more August outdoor pleasure.

The gentleman is our friend Doug Blanton, a local home inspector, and his grandson.

From left, Ed Stoddard, Nancy Lawman and Janice Adams who are agents with our company.

The boy is my grandson, Lance, with one of our clients on left and my daughter in law, Terri, on right.

This fellow is my "Baby" Jason.

My Grandaughter, Amelia, is on the left with her buddy.

Old and new friends along with ocean breezes and sand dunes make for a great evening.

I am so grateful for the clients who have become my friends and enriched my life significantly.  If these beach photographs inspire you to make a visit to the Golden Isles of South GA, please give me a call and look me up.  Any opportunity to share this delightful area is most welcome.

Regards,

Sally

This event/fundraiser is planned for March 30th to raise money to benefit Amity House and aid in putting an end to domestic violence in Glynn County. This annual event has grown to include some of the area’s top cuisine from local restaurants, live entertainment and a silent auction to make for a memorable and tasty evening. 
 
A Taste of Glynn is held at the King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort located on the beach on St. Simons Island, GA. from 5 pm until 8 pm. Should you be interested in planning a holiday to coincide with this lovely affair, go to www.atasteofglynn.com to read more about it. 
 
If you do visit St. Simons Island, I certainly invite you to look us up in the heart of the village area only minutes from the King and Prince Resort. Hope to see you soon!

I know some of you may wonder why I chose to send you our area's extended forecast, but yesterday a gentleman from Michigan was in and said he had already gotten out his snow plow. Also, the 2007 Hurricane season officially ended on 11/30/07 and thankfully our area experienced not so much as a potential scare. Georgia's southeastern coast has fortunately not had a major hurricane hit in over a century! So call me a wise acre, if you like, but again I say come visit the Golden Isles of Georgia and try on the Beachcomber Lifestyle for yourself. Life is good and the living is easy!

The Bulldog Fans have Landed!

Oct. 26, 2007
Categorized in: Just for Fun!
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 4th 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.
