Chamber members had the opportunity to kick their shoes off (literally!!) and relax at the June 24 Business After Hours hosted by Riptide at Sandestin . It's very easy for business people to get so busy with the day-to-day demands of work that enjoying our area's beautiful beaches can happen too infrequently. As one Chamber Board member noted, "Isn't this why so many of us moved here to begin with?" Thank you Sandestin for reminding us to take the time to experience our surroundings.

The beachside event not only included the standard After Hours components like terrific food and drink, networking and door prizes, but also some fun contests, too. Members lined up for the limbo contest and challenged each other in the frisbee toss while listening to great beach music. Not your average After Hours!

The Chamber wishes to thank Sandestin for sponsoring the event and to our members who contributed door prizes: Chautauqua Winery, E.B. Smith's Art Gallery/The Deer's Nest, First National Bank of Florida, Morgan's, Sandestin and The Walton Sun.
