Shrimp Festival


The National Shrimp Festival is slated for October 9 - 12. It's always a great time and this year should be no exception. From my post at Phoenix All Suites (right next door to the festival) I'll be taking in the sights, sounds, food and drink. This year's entertainment lineup includes: The Tip Tops, Joe Dee Messina, local favorite Brent Burns, rocking blues guitarist Wes Jeans, southern rock legends Molly Hatchet, and many more. Book early, it's usually a sell out. The food is awesome (don't miss the Cajun Pistols), the music is great and running on multiple stages, the vendor booths are interesting and unique. It's a can't miss event.
See you at the Beach!

P.S. This year's poster is a creation from my good friend Marjorie McCullough. If you see her at the festival, make sure you tell her Hi from Beachin' Bob.

Flowrider Competition

Waterville USA in Gulf Shores is the location for a Flowrider competition August 23–24. It’s called the 2008 Alabama Slamma. Admission is free and there will be more than 200 participants. What’s a Flowrider? According to Waterville: “The Flowrider is a simulated surfing/bodyboarding/snowboarding (snowboarding?? In Gulf Shores ???) on an endless wave. 40,000 gallons of water is pumped over a soft, trampoline style mat up a 5 foot incline to make the perfect endless wave.”

If you’ve never seen it, you should. These guys and gals are awesome at what they do.

Look for my Chevelle in the parking lot, and as always –

See You At The Beach!!!
