We’re swinging into October on Wednesday and the beginning of this year’s fabulous St. Simons Food and Spirits Festival.  This annual celebration of the good life begins on the first day of the month, Wednesday.  The five day tribute to local food and beverage begins at Halyard’s where Chef Dave Snyder will host the First Bite Kick-Off Reception.  Mingle with chef’s and other VIP’s attending the festival with delicious finger foods, craft cocktails and wine.

Southern Soul and Sea Island Resorts are teaming together to present the BBQ Pro Am on Rainbow Island.  You’ll be treated to a delicious array of one of the South’s most important menu items….BBQ.  PGA golfers will compete against local chef’s to see who stands up to the grill.  All of the grilled goodies will be paired with craft beer from Georgia’s own Wild Heaven Brewery.

Over the next two days you can attend a Pier Crawl, hosted by Elegant Island Living Magazine……a Festival Feast showcasing the work of some of the area’s most celebrated chefs at Halyard’s……the Grand Oaks Tasting Tour at Gascoigne Bluff presented by Beachview Event Rentals and a newly added Oyster Roast at Coastal Kitchen.  A good time is guaranteed for all who attend!

The festivities end with the SPIRITual Sunday Brunch…..an amazing feast prepared by ECHO at the King & Prince Resort.  If this is anything like last year’s brunch you are in for a huge treat!  Lively libations will open the event followed by beautifully presented, highlighted by the spirited voices of soul singers.

This event grows each year with more and more participants from all over the state of Georgia.  The best part of it all is that the festival benefits Hospice of the Golden Isles.  It’s the perfect way to celebrate the beginning of fall and help support one of this areas most valuable services.  Join the fun and experience the third year of this spectacular event!

   I am so glad we’re here and not up there!! I’ll have to make sure my camera’s batteries are charged and that I have an extra card!! Hopefully the sun will shine — I think it’s lost in the clouds 🙁
