Friday Night....Whatcha gonna do??

The end of the week is here...now what are ya gonna do? Well, we got a few ideas. First, this is the first Friday in August. That means that tonight is Friday Fest in downtown Panama City. All the stores stay open late, the restaurants are cooking up a storm, and vendors are set up everywhere. Crafts, activities, local shops, and food...what could be better? Don't forget, it's also the beginning of TAX-FREE weekend!! That means lots of your favorite items are tax-free, so maybe you might wanna shop at Pier Park for those back-to-school clothes, supplies or electronics. In the morning, St. Andrew's Waterfront Farmer's Market will be bustling from 8am till 1pm {can't make it on Sat? Well, on Sunday they have one out on the beach! 1pm-6pm}, and nearby Port St. Joe is having the Scallop Festival running tonight and tomorrow. Tomorrow night Country music's Aaron Tippin is headlining the music there. If none of that floats your boat, how about renting a boat and riding out to shell island or some fishing?? Lots of things going on here in PCB...and not all have to be expensive! Hope you have a great first weekend of August.
