Community News June 2009

These past few months have been a great time for spring cleaning, repairing/replacing items, or just starting new projects around the house. In early May when I first wrote this article for the Community Journal, I said the weather has been delightful but we could always use a little more rain. As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for!

The Music by the Sea, outdoor concert series, presented by the St. Johns County Pier Pavilion by the St. Augustine Beach Civic Association, opened their new season on Wednesday, May 13th. Every Wednesday now through September, the concerts will feature local musicians in performances from 7 to 9 p.m. A different restaurant will be featured each week. Concertgoers may also bring a picnic dinner and beverages, and because seating is limited, lawn chairs or blankets are recommended for comfortable seating. For information and full concert schedule, go to http://www.thewednesdayconcert.com/ or call 540-8797.

Some of our neighbors were spotted in the St. Augustine Record when the Tale Tellers of St. Augustine went to Florida Storytelling Camp at Lake Yale.

Did any of you enjoy EPIC’s 13th Annual Taste of St Augustine and Blues Music Festival held at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Sunday, April 26? Weather was delightful. Had no trouble parking. Twenty-three (23) restaurants participated and offered a wide variety of food for sampling. For example, shrimp & grits, pan-seared mahi mahi, baby back ribs, garlic fries, reuben sandwiches, sweet tea, and assorted desserts. The next Taste of the Beach in the middle of May should be equally as impressive and I hope that you get a chance to enjoy this event.
