Feel like a laid-back beach celebration in the Florida Keys?

Do I hear a yes? I thought that might be your answer!

Grab your flip-flops and head south, because Conchtoberfest swims into Hawks Cay Resort on Duck Key, Sept. 17 -19, 2010, promising to bring a boatload of island-flavored fun with it. The event will feature:

·    Live island tunes each day
·    Fresh, regional dishes and ice cold drinks served by talented local chefs
·    Games and contests to keep the kids entertained

Feel like starting the celebration a few days early? You’ll fit right into the Florida Keys!

A local establishment will host a themed event to celebrate the Keys and raise money for local charities each evening during the week preceding Conchtoberfest.  These pre-party parties are cleverly dubbed ‘Conchtoberfest Nights.’
