Fun Fact: Did you know it’s strongly believed that there could be
buried treasure on Amelia Island? It’s not as far-fetched as it seems!
During its early history, Amelia Island’s harbor would regularly have
hundreds of ships moored and many of these were pirate and
privateer ships. Over a 200-year period, Amelia Island attracted the
largest concentration of seafaring thieves in America. Some of these
pirates were the most famous of all time, including Jean Lafitte,
Blackbeard and Red Legs Greaves. Amelia Island was a safe harbor
for pirates and privateers, because the port is one of the deepest on
the southeast coast of the U.S., which would allow the large pirate
ships to enter even at low tide.

Annual Reception & Dinner
Beach, BBQ and Blues! This evening’s festivities, from
6:00pm - 10:00pm, will feature networking, great
conversation, inspiring stories and a night full of food, fun
and smokin’ hot entertainment featuring “Toots Lorraine
& The Traffic”!
While every blues fan knows you have listen to the “old”
to find something “new”. It is a precious rarity when the
opposite is true and such is the case with Toots Lorraine
& The Traffic. The band delivers a focused blend of classic
vibe that will drench your soul with the vintage sounds of
West Coast Jump Blues and Swing as you board the train
for destination “way back” where everything is, well…
easy. Toots will take your ticket, let you on board and, as
you roll down the tracks, the band will keep your glass
filled with just the right measures of hollow body guitars,
reverb tanks, upright basses, harmonicas, pianos and
organs. And, you will swear to yourself, “I ain’t getting off
this train”.
The evening will start with a cocktail reception in the
Exhibit Hall with hosted bars and light hors d’oeuvres.
Following the reception, you’ll enjoy a lavish “BBQ
Shack” inspired buffet dinner with menus built from
a foundation of seasonal ingredients from the resorts
locality on the Florida-Georgia line. So whether you come
dressed in casual linen beach attire, your whitest whites or
your Tommy Bahamas, be ready for this Beach, BBQ and
Blues Bash!
