The Dog Days of Summer are coming
to an end and Labor Day has concluded
the 100 days of Summer. Fall is on the
horizon and we welcome you to our
September Issue. In our Ladies Issue
we profile the Wonder Women of the
Emerald Coast. Destin is home to so
many women from every walk of life
that are full of talent and following their
passions.
Be sure not to miss our
Swizzle where
we are Dipping and Sipping with The
Melting Pot and in
Adventure Out we
spotlight the efforts of the Northwest
Florida Ballet.
This issue includes our popular
Coastal Cuisine with the feature Viewing
Excellence that profiles Vue on 30a. Our
I Am Pensacola features Cheryl Jones, a
local musician and educator and in
Destin
Quarters we visit A Villa by the Bay with
homeowners Tony & Betty Asher.
We attended many events and love seeing Destin’s support. We
encourage you to invite us to cover your special events.
Watch for details for the upcoming Best In Destin voting in our
October Issue.
Enjoy your September issue of VIP Destin Magazine...we look
forward to seeing you again next month.
