Partying in Paradise

There’s nothing like unwinding after a long day of learning with margaritas, appetizers, live music and new friends. That’s what attendees of the Coastal Connections Conference experienced Sunday and Monday evenings, Jan. 22 and 23.

Steel drums played in the Seagrass Terrace at Margaritaville Resort Orlando during the festivities. Monday night’s It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere party included a live painting from artist Kate Shore. As part of many giveaways throughout the event, one lucky attendee got to take the coastal painting home.
