Muscle cars and antique automobiles go with fried and grilled shrimp, fish and chicken. A silent auction and a raffle go well with live entertainment by Brent Burns.

Support youth sports programs at the Orange Beach Seafood Festival and Car Show Feb. 20.
And you, combined with the Orange Beach Sports Association, make it possible for the area’s young people to experience organized sports activities throughout the year.
From 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 20, you can have an impact on this organization by enjoying the Seafood Festival and Car Show—especially when you sink your teeth into the delicious (and generous) $10-per-plate seafood meal.
You can capture the fun and support this good cause at the Orange Beach Sportsplex, located off Canal Road, about a half mile east of the Foley Beach Express. To learn more about the annual event, call the Orange Beach Parks & Recreation office at 981-6039.

The big game for local folks is the match between 6th-seeded Auburn and 2nd-seeded LSU Friday at 5:00. The 7:30 excitement continues with 4th-seeded South Carolina aiming to beat top-seeded Florida.
ESPN2 will be on hand for a live broadcast of the finals Sunday at 2:00.

It’s not too late to register! In fact, you can sign up as late as September 12 (for an extra $20 in late fees). And all players get the tournament T-shirt free as part of the package.
Come to the beach to either participate in or watch a great sport while basking in the fall temperatures along the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico.

The ideal gift can be difficult to find, but we have a solution!
It’s time to choose a gift for someone special. But your sibling/parent/best friend/cousin has all the material goods he or she needs. Another knickknack or small kitchen appliance may end up in a closet or cupboard, rarely used in spite of your good intentions.
A gift of experiences and memories, though, will be forever cherished. The honored recipient will immediately understand the special thought that went into choosing it, and you’ll be reminded often of how much it was appreciated.
That is why a gift certificate for vacation accommodations from Meyer Real Estate is the perfect fit. It allows you to present your loved one with something specific, yet offers them a great deal of flexibility. They can choose their preferred dates to stay in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach or Fort Morgan, Alabama, or Perdido Key, Florida. And with 1600 condos and 300 houses located along the Gulf of Mexico, inland waters or golf courses – including virtual tours and photos of all properties – they will enjoy the online shopping experience almost as much as the actual getaway.
Make it a gift from just you, or arrange for the family or a group of friends to chip in together. Your gift certificate can be for any dollar amount you choose, and your recipient can get even greater value when they use it with one of our many specials or Hot Deals.
Sounds perfect, doesn’t it? Meyer Real Estate Gift Certificates are available year-round by calling 877-877-5066. Our terrific vacation representatives will be happy to help you and your recipient at any hour of the day or night, whenever it’s most convenient for you.
Historical exploration, water adventures, golf outings, outlet shopping, relaxation . . . No matter how their time is spent, you will feel wonderful knowing you gave someone a lasting gift that will always be treasured.

A large beach house may just be the perfect answer to your group's next multiple-night business or social gathering.
When you are planning a family reunion, business retreat or church gathering that requires a few nights in one location, does your mind immediately jump to an impersonal hotel, or maybe a group of separate condos near each other?
Why not consider everyone staying together in one house at the beach? Below are six Gulf Shores houses in Meyer Real Estate’s vacation rental program that will accommodate 22 to 32 people. Follow the links to see virtual tours and photos, learn more about the amenities offered at each property, and check dates of availability.
Egret, 4 miles west of the north-south AL Hwy. 59 that ends at the beach in Gulf Shores, is a one-story house that is deceptively large. Its six bedrooms combine king, queen, double and twin beds; when the 3 sleeper sofas are included, 22 people can call this gulf-front location “home.”
Avocet also sleeps 22 in its two-level, 4200-square-foot house located gulf-front almost 14 miles down Fort Morgan Road in the Surfside Shores subdivision. The five bedrooms include king, queen, bunk and double futon configurations.
Aqua Vista is a new home on West Beach, just three miles from the main beach intersection. With eight bedrooms and baths divided among three levels, 23 people can share the gulf-front house and still enjoy a bit of privacy within its 4000 square feet. Bedding includes king, queen, bunk and triple bunks as well as a sleeper sofa.
Erica’s Sandpiper is another eight-bedroom/eight-bath home that can be shared by 24 relatives or friends. A combination of king, queen, double, twin and sleeper sofas are found within this 3800-square-foot, single-level gulf-front home. You’ll find it in a quiet area 4 miles down West Beach.
Halekai III boasts 8000 square feet near the end of West Beach. The 11 bedrooms and bathrooms can accommodate 29 people among the king, queen, sofa queen, bunk and day beds. Numerous extras, including a media room, two kitchens and three living rooms, make it possible for purely fun or all-business gatherings to be comfortable at this gulf-front location.
Ranch Beach House is owned by a non-profit agency, with proceeds benefiting a children’s charity. Its 2600 square feet are spread over two levels, including six bedrooms, six and a half baths and two living rooms. Bedding consists of king, double, twin and triple bunk configurations, making it ideal for family, corporate or church groups. This house that sleeps 32 is adjacent to the pass on West Beach, across the street from the gulf.
The time is right to plan for next week’s or next year’s cozy weekend for two, family getaway, corporate team-building week, or large-scale celebration. Choose from 1600 condos and 300 houses on or near the beach or golf course. We’re eager to delight you with our renowned STAR Treatment!
