Christmas in PCB
Are you decorated and ready for the season? Light up your business and your receipts. Some of the partners are already in the spirit.
We had a terrific opening weekend!
We had a successful launch for Fun for the Holidays on Friday evening and hope you all have had the opportunity to watch the YouTube Video. A good time was had by all.

In the spirit of Christmas and wanting all of our guests to feel like a "local", we are rolling out friends & family rates which are: $5 adults, $3 seniors, $2 kids; with ice skate rentals $2. Partner package pricing is the same for our partners but INCLUDES a coupon for FREE SKATE RENTAL.

We are adding new facets each week. This week, guests going into Shipwreck Waterpark will receive a pair of Christmas 3-D glasses. They make all the Christmas lights extra special by turning them into elves, snowflakes, or reindeer.

The children visiting Santa may have their photo taken at no charge, the children can make a packet of reindeer food to put out on Christmas Eve for the reindeer, they have a Flip, Flop and Snowflake coloring sheet and they can make Christmas Sand Art Bottles. Lots for them to do and enjoy. There will also be Christmas Face Painting most weekends.

Each night we will also have live music so watch for a list of the artists---coming soon! If you know of other vendors who want to participate to sell Christmas items or just fun beach items, let us know.

Lots more Christmas Magic to come. Each week there are enhancements and it builds to delight children of all ages.

Extended Snapper Season

Red Snapper Season Extended Into The Fall

The red snapper season in Florida waters has been extended by state government officials.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conversation Commission announced Thursday the season would be reopened for eight three-day weekends this fall beginning on Oct. 1, according to a press release from the agency.

“It’ll be a help,” said Kelly Windes, a Destin boat captain. “I wasn’t crazy about the weekend business, I’d rather have the whole month of October… but it’s still better than nothing.”

Windes said he has already started calling customers who’d booked to go out on his boat, Sunrise, to share the news.

Some of them, he said, opted to change their trips to the weekends to take advantage of the extended season.

The red snapper, he said, is a favorite for tourists and the extended season will be a blessing for local fishermen.

“It’s a good thing,” he said.

The regular season for red snapper off Florida’s coast took place between June 1 and July 24, but the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill prevented most people from participating. As a result, the annual harvest quota was not met so FWC decided to reopen the season.

Red snapper seasons are typically determined by estimates of how many of the fish can be caught in a given period without impacting the red snapper population, the release stated.

“This is just what the doctor ordered,” said FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto in the press release. “(The extended season) gives folks an extra 24 days to enjoy Gulf red snapper fishing at a time when the weather is usually very nice and on weekends when most people are able to take off from work.”

Each fisherman will be allowed to keep two red snappers that are more than 16 inches in length every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from Oct. 1 through Nov. 21.
