A good hat is hard to find. I’ve always had trouble finding a hat that fits just right. Look no further than Gaelle Le Goff’s new venture Haute Handcrafted Accessories. Gaelle is bringing her Ecuadorian heritage to SoWal with her amazing collection of Panamanian hats. I know that sounds confusing…let me explain.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and in honor of the international health campaign, Caliza in Alys Beach will present a special five course dinner by Chef Kevin Korman. A cocktail hour with signature pink libations will precede the meal. Dinner will be complimented by wine pairings and thoughtfully prepared with the ultimate in cancer-fighting ingredients.
The guest speaker will be Lisa Burwell, co-owner of VIE Magazine, and a breast cancer survivor herself.
Nine million children in the US live in food-insecure households. Walton County is fortunate to have Food For Thought Outreach, Inc., a local charity dedicated to feeding hungry school children so they don’t have to worry where their next meal is coming from.
Sandestin Tennis is ready to serve the community with a fun event to help raise funds for breast cancer. Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort today announced its Annual Serve2Cure Tennis Tournament to be held this October 6 at the Sandestin Tennis Center in Destin, FL, from 8:30am to 2:00pm.
Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort was selected as the location for the cover photo of next month’s October issue of Coastal Living Magazine.
Coastal Living is the premier magazine for people who love the coast. It is the ultimate magazine and resource for coastal décor, food, lifestyle trends, and travel.
Some forty years ago a tall, skinny hippie kid left a Missouri commune to search for a jug band in order to hone his skill as a washboard player.
Franko “Washboard” Jackson began playing in 1974. He turned professional after answering an ad in a New Orleans newspaper for a washboard player. He thought there would be a line of people out the door but “was the only who showed up.”
Franko has long been a member of local favorite band Hubba Hubba which has just completed recording its first CD, “Live at the Red Bar.”
Back in 2005 the small crew at Children's Volunteer Health Network was hard at work starting up their organization and then Hurricane Katrina hit, forcing evacuation in many areas. Many locals had evacuated and returned, and many folks from the New Orleans area fled here. The already-scheduled, first fundraiser for CVHN became known as the Hurricane Party.
The Hurricane Party has grown in to a great tradition. The 8th annual edition is on September 21 in the heart of South Walton at Bud & Alleys in Seaside, with great food and fun entertainment.
Just west of Grayton Beach State Park, nestled behind the trees, you'll find Borago Restaurant. With tourists flowing in and out during the summer and locals returning in the fall, Borago is always the happening place.
I bet Mark Anton and Michael Dragon would never have guessed they would be here when they first met. Each moved around quite a bit, but they didn't lose touch. Mark is from Charleston, SC and Michael is from upstate New York. They originally met in Charleston in 1992.
