Barefoot Designs – Artists Against Cancer at Jenna’s Breezeway
Barefoot Designs along with Forever Freedom Tattoo Club , Jenna’s Breezeway and Endless Summer Tattoo joined together to raise money for Children’s Cancer Research Fund.
The event – Artist Against Cancer – was held on October 15th at Jenna’s Breezeway in Cocoa Beach.
Several local artists donated their work that was raffled off throughout the day in between the entertainment provided by local musicians Coastal Breed, Harvey Charles and the Red Dragons.
The live auction featured a custom painted electric guitar donated by Mark Longenecker, A custom painted surfboard done by Brian Marchand and a handcrafted surfboard table done by Bob Emerson of Naturally Wood.
There was fun for every one of all ages, Jenna had a special drink made up called Cancer sucks inside her bar, there were vendors lined up along the fence outside as well as a kids zone where the little ones had a chance to win all kinds of prizes.
When the event was over, they ended up sending the Children’s Cancer Research Fund a Check for $3000.00, and have already mailed another check for $400.00 more. It is not too late to donate; they still have shirts for $10.00 to get yours just email barefootdesignsfla@yahoo.com for more information.
Roscoe’s Chili Challenge #29 by ValGal and Miserable George
It’s no big secret about some logistical changes that had to be made at the big Chili Challenge this year. Camping areas were changed, entrances and exits were switched, the event was cut by one day…! As word got out BEFORE the event, I believe it scared a few people away! Well,
I’m here to tell you all, the Chili Challenge was a huge success,
despite a few minor changes. Additional camping ground was purchased, which was more than enough to accommodate everyone, and despite shortening the party by one day…you STILL got your money’s worth.
My friend, Jay Mollica rode out with me…I of course, took my truck…thanks to Jay for the company. Jay, by the way, is a PRIMO sax player, as I’m sure most of you know!!
We were invited out on Thursday, a day before opening…got a good camp site, met a lot of new people, shot almost 1000 photos, squeezed a few chicks, ate good at Heavenly Hotdogs…(Thanks John & Andrea!!), and generally had a blast.
Weather was good till Saturday evening, when the cold front moved in, and we got spritzed a bit!! Good chili, good events, good people, I think the photos can tell the story a lot better than I can.
Our BIG THANKS to Roscoe and his terrific staff for a
job well done…hope to get there again in 2015!!!
