Greetings!

It's fall. Everyone is ready to get over the hurricanes and get out of the house. "Information calls" are a regular at the chamber office. These wonderful people are coming here for one reason or another. All calls are ended by "I hope you enjoy our beautiful town". I know the Tourist Information Center in town is getting calls; we are sending a lot of them to this amazing place. Have you ever been there? . . .
