Outside a dog, Man's Best Friend is a Book

Outside a dog, man's best friend is a book. Inside a dog, it's too dark to read.

There's plenty of light today, both in sunny Saint Augustine and at the Florida Heritage Book Festival. We're proud to host a great mystery writer at the Marin for the event--Diane Stuckart. If you find yourself outside of a dog, check out one of her latest books.

Sand and Sound at the Pier

Today's Wednesday, and that means two things:

1. It's homemade ice cream night at the Bayfront Marin House (5-7)
2. It's free concert night at the Saint Johns County Pier Pavillion (7-9)

Really? Can you top that?

Tonight's musical guest is RhythmFish, and the ice cream flavor is raspberry cheesecake with dark chocolate flecks. Frankly, they both sound pretty good to me. And one sounds like a great way to prepare for the other! (Because this way, you won't get hungry during the concert!)

But you'd better hurry...because free concerts and free ice cream are only available Wednesdays in September. So, unless you're funk and lactose intolerant, you'd better hurry on down to Saint Augustine. There are only three more opportunities to check it out!
