2010 Regional Lifeguard Competition Coming to Destin!

I had dinner with some good friends tonight, and heard some very exciting news....VERY EXCITING NEWS! The Regional Lifeguard Competition will be coming to Destin this year. The competition is scheduled for July 15-17, 2010, and it's definitely an event you don't want to miss. We are so excited about being the host city this year, and can't wait for our city to shine. Our lifeguards go to competition each year, and always leave a great impression with their talent and speed. They put some really good numbers on the board considering how small Destin is, and we are so proud of them.

My dear friend, Joe D'Agostino, who is the Beach Safety Division Chief here with our Destin Fire & Rescue will start posting on my Blog. Joe is truly a water expert, and we figured that there was no better way to keep you informed than to hear it straight from him. Thanks so much Joe, and we really appreciate all that you do for our Beach Safety Program.

YOLO Candy

Today I visited one of my favorite stores in our area, and WOW what a surprise. I went in to YOLO Board, and visited with some of the best people ever. You never know what celebrity you might see when visiting the store. Today I saw Jeff and Mitzi Archer(owners of YOLO), Michelle(very nice employee), Kyle(the board man), and Chandler(owner of Modus Photography). I mean how often can you go into a store and see such wonderful people, and even have the owner greet you at the door with a hug...Thanks Jeff! :)

YOLO has really been fixing up their warehouse to be more retail friendly, and the transformation I saw today was just amazing! I literally felt like a kid in a candy store looking at all of the new Stand Up Paddle and Surf Boards they have in stock. Don't these pictures look awesome? Just like candy, right? They also have a fabulous line of YOLO apparel and gear to satisfy all of your needs. You better hurry up and get in there and do your shopping before Summer starts because once Summer is here you know you'll want to be on the water showing off your YOLO.
