Stellar weather is a tradition at WaterColor's annual Art in the Park Festival and it looks like the 2013 edition on Saturday, March 16 will be another perfect Spring day in SoWal.

The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) unveils the 25th Annual ArtsQuest Arts & Music Festival poster image, designed by South Walton artist Justin Lyons. Lyons was voted "Best in Mixed Media" at the 2012 ArtsQuest Festival and has created a poster image that complements the festival's fun-loving atmosphere and quest for art with a quest for heart.  The annual event will be held over Mother's Day Weekend, May 10-12, and features activities for the entire family.

The ArtsQuest Fine Arts & Music Festival is held each Mother's Day weekend in South Walton, Florida. The Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) is thrilled to announce the 25th anniversary festival will take place, May 10 - 12 in the WaterColor Resort, along Scenic Highway 30A, which runs along the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret; a comfortable SoWal spot where you can meet your friends for a drink, excellent food and amazing sushi. And it's quite affordable, considering it's in a beautiful setting right on the Gulf, flanked by massive dunes. You can lounge inside on cushy chairs around cocktail tables, or outside around the pool by a toasty fire. 

Telluride MountainFilm on Tour is back to WaterColor's Marina Park for the 12th year November 2 & 3, 2012. The SoWal.com-sponsored event is a favorite of many locals and not to be missed. It's such a treasure to be able to see amazing films from the world over about so many interesting and exciting subjects. See this year's lineup of extraoridinary films.

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.

I have found my new favorite cocktail. Okay, maybe I found more than one. My recent visit to Fish Out of Water was truly an eye-opening and tasty experience. 

As I walked up the stairs I felt like I had stepped into a sophisticated, uber-metropolitan venue.  I found a seat and was greeted by beverage manager John Ryckert. He suggested the Something Good and Strawberry Lemonade - both from the signature cocktail list. Each turned out to be delicious and refreshing. 

It's been a beautiful and exciting spring here in SoWal and the YOLO Board crew kicked it up a notch last Thursday at the WaterColor BoatHouse on Western Lake! Our hats are off to another exciting event from our partner. As a race sponsor, we're thrilled to be a part of such a fun South Walton tradition.
