2) An eating frenzy with 16 all-you-can-eat meals: steamed oysters, Southern BBQ, seafood, Greek Fest & Treats, Happy Hour, and The Chocolate Obsession Garden. Also, always lots of veggie options. (If you have special needs for food and fuel, let us know at least two weeks before and we will meet your needs.)
