16th Annual Night of Lights

The 16th annual Night of Lights was celebrated on Saturday November 20th in the cities historic Plaza de la Constitucion. Throngs of people came early to listen to a holiday performance by Showtime USA under the Kings Balcony of Government House at the west end of the Plaza. Prior to the "flipping of the switch" that occurred around 6:30 p.m. the attendees were treated to a performance by the All Star Orchestra performing swing and big band sounds from the Gazebo. At 6:30 p.m. the official Light-Up began when Mayor Boles opened the ceremonies from Government House. First to light up the 10 week long Night of Lights was the traditional Christmas tree in the Plaza followed by many, many tiny white lights illuminating the city from the Bridge of Lions to the Lightner Museum. Residents and visitors alike will enjoy the Night of Lights from now until the end of January and all will continue to look forward to next years ceremony.

"Sharing Our Community with Buyers & Sellers...One Snippet at a Time"

Ocean Palms Pier Park Opening

Today was a picture perfect day in St. Augustine and we were lucky enough to attend the opening of the pier park in Ocean Palms on Anastasia Island. Aproximately 1/3 of the 208 homeowners attended this exciting event where snacks, cold drinks and yummy desserts were provided by the social committee. The building of this pier which overlooks the intracoastal has taken many months and much planning. Now that the pier is completed residents can enjoy the canopied areas where they can sit and watch the boats motoring or sailing the intracoastal or perhaps simply enjoy the sunset while they have a glass of wine. The lowered fishing area of the pier which extends outward into the intracoastal waterway will be enjoyed by the residents and in all probability all grandchildren old enough to hold a pole. An abundance of wildlife is generally viewable and the fishing can be exciting as well. Residents of this community which includes both patio homes and single family homes also enjoy a community pool, playground area and are within walking distance of the Atlantic Ocean.

8th Annual St. Augustine Car & Truck Show

The eighth annual St. Augustine Cruiser Car and Truck Show was held on November 7th. On display were ancient cars, classic cars, vintage cars, hot rods, replicas and other assorted automobiles. New cars such as the Cobra displayed in the photo were also on display. We saw many cars that had been beautifully restored and reminded us of those care free days when we were in high school and college.
