Welcome to our Best In 

Pensacola Issue. Our readers 

have picked their favorite 

places, businesses, and things 

to do in Pensacola, Pensacola 

Beach, and Perdido Key and 

we are proud to announce 

the winners. The July issue 

spotlights all that makes 

Pensacola the best place to 

live, work and play.                                   

Be sure not to miss our 

Give 

Care Share where we spotlight 

Gulf Coast Kid’s House 

and “Key Performance” at 

The Point in Perdido Key is 

featured in 

Adventure Out. 

This issue also includes our 

popular 

Swizzle with a visit 

to the Sandshaker Lounge 

on Pensacola Beach. 

I Am 

Pensacola features Madrina 

Ciano community volunteer 

and in 

Pensacola Dwellings we visit a “Coastal Ranch” with 

homeowner Trinkette Parker.

We attended many events including the Junior League’s 

Evening in White, the Burger Battle, the Escambia County 

PTA Awards, and Bands on the Beach to name a few. We 

love seeing Pensacola supporting these events and encourage 

you to invite us to cover your special events.

Enjoy your July issue of VIP Pensacola…and watch for 

details for our BEST IN PENSACOLA celebration to be 

announced in our August issue.
