Fun at Sago Sports Bar

Now that we are past Labor Day, Summer is unofficially ended. Now we turn attention to football and cooler weather. Here in Destin the cooler weather will still be about a month or so away. But there is still plenty to do around here. Tuesday Sunshine Cindy and I headed to Sago Sports Bar. We wanted to check out the new menu and their great Tuesday special of $1 for a domestic pint. You can’t beat that deal. Becky was behind the bar taking good care of everyone. Bert was sitting at the bar. Bert is having his 79th birthday this week. We see him at the bar often and he always enjoys himself. This night he downed about 6 shots of Jamison. The staff made sure he got back to his room safe and sound.

Beach Cleanup party fun

Paris was working the tables and she stopped by to say hello. We also got to meet Charlie. He just here from Sarasota and has a place at The Palms. He was a nice guy as was some friends of his. This couple also recently moved to Destin. I can’t remember their names but they were nice to talk with also. I know we will run into them again.

As mentioned, Sago has a new menu. It has a bigger selection to choose from. We enjoyed what we ordered. The portions are large and tasted very good. They will do fine during the football season with the new menu and the great drink prices they have.

Dante's 2012 "Welcome Party" fun

Wednesday was spent at home. I worked on some more Crab Island Mambo stuff. I updated the web site with new secondary sponsors for our 3rd Annual Welcome to the Island Party” that will be held in Key West on Oct. 30th at Dante’s starting at 11 am. This will be a great Trop Rock event. Everyone is welcome and there is no cover charge or fee to partake in all the fun.

It looks like a new Condo is going to get built in Destin. This will be the first one since the market crashed. It is going to be on Old 98 close to The Back Porch restaurant. It will be right on the Gulf, be 12 stories high and have 16 units. Currently there are some old townhomes on the land. They will be tore down to make room for the new tower. If you have a spare couple million dollars laying around you can get you one of these units!

Jan and Kenny playing music for the beach cleanup

One other bit of news this week….the helicopter company that has been trying for over a year to get approval to fly from a space on Hwy. 98 is now officially in the air. There was a lot of opposition to the location due to safety concerns. It is on a small piece of land next to Longhorn Steakhouse. But after all the legal maneuvering has been completed they started flying this past weekend. It will be interesting to see how they do.

Always fun at the beach cleanup

This Saturday Crab Island Mambo and the ECPHC is co-sponsoring a beach cleanup. We will meet on Okaloosa Island at Beachwalk #2. The cleanup is at 9:30 and then we have a big party on the beach till whenever. Everyone is welcome to join us!
