Memorial Day Weekend – Beach Day

The Saturday of Memorial Day weekend means everyone hits the beach. The weather was perfect, the water was refreshing and the beverages were cold. The brats were already steaming in the beer and onions and the pork butt was cooking slowly in the convection smoker. Thanks to Greg and Mark Selvidge, who helped out with the tents (and brought us an additional tent). It’s always nice to sit on the beach (in the shade of course) with friends.

The Memorial Day weekend continued (on Friday night) at the Anna Maria Home of Ben and Alyce Badcock. Ben (along with friends Dan Gaa, Charlie Weathers, Robert Faneca and Colton Williams) spent the afternoon on the high seas. The result was a large haul of beautiful Mangrove Snapper. Mr. Gaa and Mr. Badcock handled the cleaning and cooking of the fish. The end result was a fabulous evening of great food and wonderful friendship. Many thanks to the fisherman and a special thank you to Ben and Alyce Badcock for opening their wonderful home to yet another event.

The Memorial Day weekend got off to an early start (on Thursday) with dinner at Read & Linda Heath’s beautiful home in Bradenton. Everyone brought a side dish, however the big hit of the night was Read’s fish entrée, which included a very unusual yet succulent mango sauce. Thanks to everyone who brought a dish…it was all delicious. And a special thanks to our hosts Read and Linda Heath for their exceptional hospitality. It was a great way to start the weekend.
