Save the North Shore of the Gulf September 1–6

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Six days of entertainment by popular local musicians means three opportunities to join together as a community to benefit ecological programs along our coastal area.

Support Mobile Baykeeper efforts and hear popular local entertainers at SanRoc Cay September 1–3, 2010.

Even volunteer organizations cost money to operate, so Sweetwater Brewing Company, SanRoc Cay Marina & Shops, North Shore Grill and Beach CITE Studios have joined together to raise funds for care of our precious resources.

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 brings LeAnn Creswell & Rick Whaley to the courtyard of SanRoc Cay (Orange Beach, Alabama) from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m.

Thursday evening features The Most Wanted Band and Friends from 6:00 until 9:00, then the action moves inside to the Listening Room at Beach CITE Studios for the Wes Loper Band from 9:00 until midnight

John Joiner begins the Friday evening schedule at 6:00, along with North Shore Grill’s smoked Boston butt take-out sale. At 9:00, move into North Shore Grill to kick it up with Jon Cook & Ryan Baltrop Swamp Music Throwdown.

On Saturday, an all-day tailgate-style part in the Courtyard will be followed by JJ Mack playing 6:30–9:30. At 9:30, The Soul Wig ParTay Band will begin playing in North Shore Grill.

Sunday’s all-day music schedule starts with a gospel brunch with Jody Payne and Cowboy Johnson 11–2, followed by the Knee Deep Band 3–6 and ending with Coconut Radio 6–9.

Lisa Christian kicks off the Monday festivities in the North Shore Grill at 1:00. At 3:00, Paul Killough and Alan Grossman take over the stage, followed by Cowboy Johnson, Jody Payne and Jon Cook at 6:00 until 9:00.

Proceeds from the six-day event will help to sustain the current programs of the Mobile Baykeeper organization, increase awareness and encourage involvement. Locally, more than 4,000 people participate in their activities. One of the many ways for you to be involved is to come enjoy some of the area’s best entertainment and give generously to support the efforts to keep our waters clean and safe.

Sports Legends at Saturday’s Dinner

Friday, May 7th, 2010

University of Alabama. Auburn University. You won’t find a much bigger college rivalry, certainly not in this state.

Support high school football and talk with your favorite college athletes Saturday night in Gulf Shores.

But for one evening, stars from both teams join together to tell stories, answer questions and meet their fans—all to benefit the Foley High School football program.

Taking part in the 2010 Legends Dinner on Saturday, May 8, will be Crimson Tide players/Foley grads Julio Jones, Robert Lester and D.J. Fluker, as well as past players Roger Schultz, Bob Baumhower, Jeff Rouzie and South Alabama coach Joey Jones. Auburn will be represented by “Wild Bill” Cody, Kurt Crain, Tom Banks and Brandon Johnson.

The $40 ticket admits you to an evening that includes a shrimp boil and chicken dinner, cash bar, live music and, of course, interaction with the football players. Tickets for the 6:30 event, to be held in Gulf Shores at the Erie Meyer Civic Center, can be purchased at the following locations:

  • Meyer Real Estate in Gulf Shores
  • all First National Bank of Baldwin County locations
  • Baumhower’s Wings restaurants in Mobile and Daphne
