While it's easier to meet new folks at smaller events, I couldn't resist posting the upcoming festivals/large events this month. Our fabulous fall festival season is one of my favorite things about P'cola. Mark your calendars!
This Weekend: Emerald Coast Beer Fest
Fri., Sep. 9, 6:00 - 8:30 p.m.
This is last-minute, but you can't say I didn't try to tell you about it! I'm not crazy about the taste of beer, but I will be at this event because I detect the smell of good food. Who knows, I might even find a beer I like. We shall see... This event comes at a price ($30), but the price is cheaper if you buy in advance ($25). Ticket sales benefit the Seville Rotary Club and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida.

A regular favorite. Need I say more.

What I'm Most Looking Forward to in September...
FREE classic movie at the beautiful Saenger Theatre on Friday, Sep. 16! Yep, that's right. What's playing? A movie called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. I have never heard of this movie before in my life, but I will be there just for the experience of munching on popcorn and M&Ms in the Saenger. (Yes, I'm serious. I really hope they have concessions.) For added excitement, art and a Canstruction--a big piece of architecture made out of canned food--will be displayed in the lobby. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Show starts at 8 p.m. Admission: Complete a brief survey sharing your opinion. For more information, check out pensacolasaenger.com or www.downtowncrowd.com.

It continues Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. The show is in the park at the corner of 12th Ave. and Gonzalez St. in East Hill.

Seafood Festival

The name says it all. This event is non-negotiable. You just can't miss it. I can't wait to get my fried gator fix right there in Seville Square.
