Amelia Island Garden Show 2010

Here are the photos from the first Amelia Island Garden Show held at Central Park, Fernandina Beach.





Orchids, bonsai and assortment of flowers, herbs ready for planting, organic potting soils and fertilizers and on-site expert advice about "greening" your home, yard and garden gave everyone a chance to ask questions and get hands on gardening lessons!





The produce vendors had something for everybody. Fresh fruits and veggies, vidalia onion relishes, jams, pickles, greens, popcorn, and organic pork such as ham, sausages and BBQ meats.



There was plenty of food available to eat!



The Raptor Experience with a large, red tailed hawk, barn owl and a little 4oz screech owl with tiny pointed ears was adorable and stole the show.





The Butterfly Encounter was great for the little ones. They were offered a stick with some gooey butterfly food and you held it in your hand and the butterflies landed and enjoyed!



We had a great time!

Princeton Reunion on Amelia Island

Amelia Island proved to be a fabulous place for a family or college reunion, special thanks to Unique Rentals of Amelia. Last week, my wife and I hosted a 5-day affair for 24 classmates (Princeton ' 62) and their spouses.



(Celebrants at the Ocean Club for dinner, a few donning their college reunion jackets.)

Unique Rentals housed our celebrants in beautiful oceanfront villas, two and three couples to a villa, near one another and at a remarkably affordable cost. We played golf at Amelia Island Plantation and at nearby TPC Sawgrass; and tennis at Racquet Park on the soft courts of the Plantation. We kayaked the peaceful waters of Loften Creek, biked quiet roads on the Plantation, and shopped in the quaint town of Fernandina Beach.



Clearly, though, the highlights were a dinner cruise aboard the Miss Kaylynn from downtown historic Fernandina out to famous Cumberland Island, with fascinating commentary by Captain Kevin McCarthy about the island's history in its "wilder" heyday; and the day visit to nearby White Oak Plantation, a magical animal species conservation preserve on 7000 pristine acres with 11 miles on the St. Mary's River separating Florida and Georgia, which is unlike anything in the world.



Dinners were fabulous, on the Plantation and off, relatively inexpensive, and very easy to arrange on Amelia which knows how to cater to visitors. Guests said they'll miss our beautiful island and beaches and pledged to return, either for an extended vacation or perhaps to buy Amelia Island real estate!

Everyone is asking: Would a victory solves Georgia's problems?

With top-ranked and defending national champion Florida next on the docket Saturday afternoon (3:30, CBS), many in the Bulldog Nation are asking a simple question: Would a victory over the hated Gators erase the disappointment of the season thus far?
