Per a note I just found on the Meyer Real Estate site:
http://www.meyerre.com/content/storminfo/hurricane.htm
it appears the Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores has been cancelled for this year.
That sounds reasonable, given the condition of the area at this point, but what a shame. I know from my wanderings that many residents and owners were hoping it would continue on a smaller scale. They need a reason/excuse to celebrate.
It was also noted that Meyer will be cancelling all rental reservations prior to October 16th, 2004. This could change, but that is the current, estimated date.
If others follow suit, it appears we will not be able to stay in the area for a night or two on our way back to Nashville from Panama City Beach. I was hoping to talk Tony into that. *smile*
I am posting based on my assumption that this information is as accurate as possible at this time. I do know Meyer is an extremely reputable company and a strong presence in the Gulf Shores community. Their information should be good and from reliable sources.
But then, everything is subject to change when your world has just been flipped and tumbled upside down and backwards.
Hang in there Gulf Shores!!
Sweet dreams of better days to come.....
