Summer Concerts & Pier Access Prices
Went to the
concert at the beach tonight with some of our neighbors and
there was quite a crowd. And I stopped in at the office by the
Pier and checked on the fees for accessing the pier. It’s now
$1 for anyone wanting to go on the pier. Free for St. Johns
seniors (minimum 60 yrs. old) – you’ll need to show proof of age
and that you’re a St. Johns resident. Fishing fee off the pier
for St. Johns residents is $2.00. Coolers and chairs are
allowed. We could have listened to the band from the pier if we
wanted to. That might have been nice too … but it’s fun being
in the middle of all the folks attending the concert.
SHIRTS &
STUFF
I was so
excited telling you about all my summer blowup fun bargains last
week I forgot to tell you the address and phone number in case
you need to buy any blowup sharks and crocodiles
alligators for the pool! Shirts & Stuff is located at 900 A1A
Blvd in the Lighthouse Plaza shopping center. Dave’s Phone # is
226-1666.
