REO Speedwagon, Pat Benetar & Neil Girardo

June 17, 2010 by Susanne Talentino

REO Speedwagon was part of the 80s rock era kings. Their album Hi Infidelity became one of 1981’s biggest albums — spawning one of the best-known power ballads of all time, “Keep on Loving You,” as well as such popular rock radio hits as “Don’t Let Him Go” and “Take It on the Run.” Hi Infidelity would eventually go on to sell more than nine million copies — catapulting REO to arena-headlining status.

REO Speedwagon continued to score further hit albums (1982’s Good Trouble, 1984’s Wheels Are Turnin’) and singles (“Keep the Fire Burnin’,” the number one hit power ballad “Can’t Fight This Feeling”.

REO Speedwagon performs at St. Augustine Amphitheatre on Friday July 2, 2010 at 7:00 pm.

Things To Do for Father’s Day in Savannah

June 16, 2010 by Susanne Talentino

It doesn’t matter if your Dad likes the outdoors, is a history buff, or just likes jazz and good food – below you’ll find a few ideas about fun things to do in Savannah for Father’s Day 2010.

Have a Blast with Dad!

What dad can resist a good old cannon firing? Wouldn’t that just be the perfect way to celebrate Father’s Day in style? This time of year there are cannon firings at Old Fort Jackson! For history buffs, a visit to the National Historic Landmark Old Fort Jackson is a special treat – especially when the visit includes cannon firings. The cannon firings take place at 10am and 2pm all throughout the spring and summer.

For more information, contact us at 912.232.3945 or visit www.chsgeorgia.org for more.

Fly Boy Special
Blasting cannons might not interest your dad, but how about air planes? In honor of Father’s Day on Sunday, June 20, the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum is offering all fathers a special admission rate of $5.
Jun 20, 2010 – 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.

The Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum, 175 Bourne Ave., Savannah, GA
Call for admission information 912.748.8888 or visit www.mightyeighth.org

Jazz It Up
If your dad enjoys jazz, this is a great idea for a fun event to attend.
The performance with the Equinox Jazz Quintet led by Jeremy Davis is not your everyday concert or a jazz recital, but more a one-of-a kind, high-energy stage show featuring some of the best jazz musicians around.

Jeremy Davis has shared the stage with artist ranging from David Sanborn, Ellis Marsalis, Bill Watrous, Carl Fontana, Fred Wesley and Harry Waters to George Clinton, Govt Mule, Col. Bruce Hampton, Derek Trucks and many more.

Jazz – Just Across The River presents the Annual Fathers’ day Concert, featuring the Equinox Jazz Quintet, on Sunday, June 20 at 5 pm at the Westin Savannah Harbor on Hutchinson Island. The concert is free for Coastal Jazz Association members and $10 for non-members. Attendees who join CJA while at the concert will also be admitted for free.

The Equinox Jazz Quintet with Jeremy Davis
Sunday, June 20th 5:00 p.m.
Westin Savannah Harbor – Hutchinson Island

For more info call: 912.920.1317 or go to www.coastal-jazz.org

I Scream, You Scream…
Lately the heat has been a bit tiring, so make sure to include a trip to Leopolds Icecream Parlor – what dad is going to turn down a delicious cool treat?
Leopold’s has been around forever, and there is a special flavor for everyone. The pink grapefruit sherbert is so refreshing. I know that suggestion would meet with “the look” from my Dad, he would have opted for the more appropriate “real man” flavor of Peanut Butter Chippy or Rum Bisque.

Leopold’s Ice Cream, 212 E. Broughton St., Savannah
912.234.4442 or visit Leopolds Icecream

The Beat Goes On
Join dad on a trip down memory lane with this fun performance. Remember the big hair, the funky fashion and most of all the music. This hit musical will covers all of dad’s favorite songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s! From beach blankets to the BeeGees, it’s three decades of Big Hair and big fun!

Savannah Theatre, 222 Bull St., Savannah 912.233.7764

A Luxury Brunch for Dad
To impress dad, how about a fantastic Father’s Day Sunday Jazz Brunch at Aqua Star at the Westin? You and dad will enjoy a decadent meal prepared by Executive Chef Roger Michel and his team of culinary experts. Live music provided by Jazz legend Ben Tucker. Reservations to this event is strongly recommended since it most likely will sell out.

So call now and reserve your spots at 912.201.2085 or visit www.aquastar@westin.com.

Down the River
Another idea is to go on a Fathers Day Brunch Cruise in the Savannah River. This is a great way to see Savannah from the water if you’re visiting for the day.

Enjoy a buffet style brunch while the Captain narrates the rich history of Savannah along the way. Spend some quality time with dad, learn about Savannah’s history and a experience a boat ride on the river!
The brunch cruise takes place at noon on Jun 20, 2010. Call (800)786-6404 for ticket information.
9 East River Street, Savannah, GA
Tickets: $21.95 – $39.95
www.savannahriverboat.com

For the Brave Outdoors Man
For dads who enjoy the outdoors – how about a special trip for summer solstice? This is an easy paddling tour down a historic, blackwater creek.Paddling is a great way to experience the outdoors, and this trip is suitable for beginners too. After basic canoeing instruction, the naturalist will lead the way downstream past stately tupelo and cypress. Their bright green foliage and unique trunks reflect perfectly in the mirror-dark water. Keep an eye out for turtles, herons and kingfishers. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to spot a shy alligator.

The paddle takes place at Ebenezer Creek. The price is $45 – person, includes canoe, paddle and basic instruction. Please call 912.236.8115 or visit www.wilderness-southeast.org

Lifeguard Competition – Folly Beach, SC

June 15, 2010 by Susanne Talentino

Baywatch in Real Life

Come watch when Folly Beach turn into a real competition for real lifeguards. David Hasselhoff would probably not qualify for a spot in this tough contest – and I don’t think Pamela Anderson is coming either – but that doesn’t mean it won’t be fun to watch.

Local and regional lifeguards will come together to compete in a challenge that showcases and tests lifesaving skills, the 13th Annual SCRPA Lifeguard Competition, on Friday, June 25.

Organized by Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC) and the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department, the day-long event brings together beach, pool and waterpark lifeguards from across South Carolina. The competition is held on behalf of the SCRPA Aquatics Branch with the goal of encouraging guards to improve their lifesaving skills and training.

“The lifeguard competition continues to be a motivating tool for lifeguards throughout South Carolina, giving them the chance to perfect and test their skills against fellow lifeguards,” said Michael Bradley, CCPRC’s Assistant Ocean Access Manager.

Bradley adds that lifeguard teams from across the state are encouraged to sign up. “Participants get the opportunity to have fun and compete in a variety of events in both the pool and ocean settings,” he says.

The competition kicks off at 8:30 a.m. with pool events at the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department’s R.L. Jones Center pool, then moves to Folly Beach County Park around 1 p.m.

Pool events at the R.L. Jones Center feature team competition in both speed races and lifesaving techniques, including Spinal Injury Management, Brick Tow Relay, 50-Yard Sprint, Submerged Deep Water Rescue with CPR, 500-Yard Swim and 100-Yard Relay events. The action-packed beach events on Folly will have teams running in and out of the water as they simulate rescues and compete in fitness tests, including the Run-Swim-Run, One-Mile Run, Beach Flags and Active Rescue events.

An awards ceremony will immediately follow the competition, with awards given to first, second and third-placing teams.

To qualify to compete, all participants must be certified through an accredited agency. Teams must be composed of 3 to 4 members, with at least one male and one female on each team. Entry fees are $50 per team and proof of certification must be furnished with registration.

Competitions are open to the public. For more information call (843) 795-PARK or email mbradley@ccprc.com.
