What a blast. This is one of the best events I've attended in South Walton! Filled with locals, friends, and supporters of the arts (Sinfonia Gulf Coast)... A great mix of people from South Walton, Destin, and all over enjoying Bloody Marys, Mimosas and Grayton Beer! Also a fun time to take a close look at new shops at The Market Shops in Sandestin. There were a few new shops I didn't know had moved there so I'll be back for some holiday shopping.

Winners:
Bud & Alley's Restaurant took home JUDGES CHOICE
The Beach House took home 3rd place for People's Choice
Bud & Alley's took home 2nd place for People's Choice
Bijoux Destin was awarded 1st place for People's Choice!

My favorite bloody marys were Bijoux, Bud and Alleys and Louis Louis, and not necessarily in that order. Missed out on one or two who were out of cocktails by the time I got around to them... oh well, next time!

We hear it will be an annual Fall event and this is good news...
