Well, as much as we don't like to talk about it I know you all have heard about the BP Oil Leak. The media rushed in and told everyone that everything would basically be black and ugly for years to come. Rule #1....NEVER listen to 100% of what the media is telling you because my thoughts are that they are usually lucky if they are half right. Our beautiful Emerald Coast has been threatened for weeks now, and our town like many others is ready to do whatever it takes to keep our beautiful beaches BEAUTIFUL! The sun has been shining extra bright, the water is nice and the sand is still soft and white so if you're not here you are missing out.
You know how it is when friends get together....funny and great things can happen, and trust me...it's always over a lot of laughs. This idea for our BP SOB Save Our Beaches T-Shirt was an idea from a good friend. Her name is Kim also, so yes she is smart like that...lol! She shared her idea and we immediately put it into plan. The main reason to jump on the making on the shirts was because there's a special outdoor event taking place this Sunday down on the Harbor in DESTIN to benefit our Fisherman. The Fight for Fisherman event will be held this Sunday, May 16th, near the BOAT HOUSE Restaurant behind the RED DOOR from 3 to 7. Many of our local businesses will be set up and 10% of all proceeds will be donated to the Fight for Fisherman Fund. My friend Kim works in the non-profit arena so it's only fitting that we roll it out for a benefit. Kim's dad was a great man and she said he was always coming up with cute sayings. He passed a few years ago, and she says she knows that he was the one who gave her this great idea. Thanks Kim...I love you and you are a great friend!
The BP SOB Save Our Beaches T-Shirts can also be purchased at Youtopia Gift Shop in Destin starting this Friday, but don't wait....purchase yours online now at http://youtopiadestin.com or call them at 850-424-5047. Youtopia is an awesome gift shop located at the Harbor next to MCGUIRES Restaurant. They sell many wonderful items, but I love their beautiful hand-painted Collegiate Wine Glasses (ROLL TIDE), the stretchy rings, the Wine Woozie and the Tyler Candles just to name a few. Please be sure and check them out and make sure you tell them Kim sent you.
Can't wait to see all of our friends Paddling with their BP SOB Save Our Beaches T-Shirts.
Paddle On!
