The days are getting longer
and the summer season is here.
Pensacola has many fun events
all year long but the summer
season is when there seems to
be daily celebrations, festivals,
and parties. June is our Armed
Forces Issue where we honor our
military with our special City of
Five Branches tribute. Pensacola
is so blessed to have such great
exposure to the US and to the
world with our variety of military
services. The polls have closed!
You have voted for your favorites
in our BEST IN PENSACOLA
contest and the winners will be
announced in our July issue. I
know you will be excited to see
just who made the list.
Be sure not to miss our
Give
Care Share where we spotlight
the HER Foundation. The Trader
Jon’s exhibit at the T. T. Wentworth is highlighted in our
Adventure Out feature for this month. If you have not seen
Trader Jon’s, you will definitely want to go after reading the
piece.
Take a special look at our
I Am Pensacola feature where
you get to know Rear Admiral White and then in
Pensacola
Dwellings we venture into Navarre to explore the exquisite
Manor on the Sound, the Maloney home.
We attended many events including the Operazzi Ball,
the Perdido Key Wine & Art Festival, the Pensacola Beach
Crawfish Festival and the 12th Annual Soundside Splendor
to name only a few. At these events we met many new friends
and caught up with some old ones – many of whom you will
see on the upcoming pages. We love seeing Pensacola support
the events and causes that make it such a special place. We
encourage you to get out and enjoy all that this great area has
to offer. Invite us to cover your special events so that we may
share them in the pages of an upcoming issue.
Enjoy your June issue of VIP Pensacola…and remember,
watch for the winners of BEST IN PENSACOLA readers’
choice contest to be announced in the July issue.
