WATERCOLOR INN & RESORT TO HOLD WINTER MARKET
Shop for Unique Holiday Gifts and Decorations at a Festive Outdoor Market, Hosted by the WaterColor Community Association
SANTA ROSA BEACH, FL - (December 11, 2008) - The St. Joe Company's WaterColor Inn & Resort and the WaterColor Community Association will host their first Winter Market on Saturday, December 20, 2008, from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, and will take place at WaterColor's Town Center, at 1701 East County Highway 30-A, in Santa Rosa Beach.
The 'Winter Market' concept is reminiscent of a traditional German Christmas market, where a variety of vendors display merchandise and crafts in a street fair setting - making the sites, smells and sounds of the season come alive with holiday spirit.
"We're very excited to host the first annual Winter Market at WaterColor," said Mary Rosenheim, Senior Vice President & General Manager, West Florida Region for JOE. "This time of year is about enjoying the spirit of the season, and the Winter Market will be a special occasion for the community to share that spirit with friends and neighbors. We hope it will become a holiday tradition at WaterColor."
Shoppers can stroll through the Town Center, listen to live holiday music, enjoy a perfect winter 'snow' fall, and browse an array of eclectic holiday gifts including: jewelry, wreaths, ornaments, candles, gourmet sprout mixes, fine art, blown glass, organic preserves, 'shabby chic' frames, pottery, chocolates, caramels, hot cocoa and other treats. Many of the WaterColor community's merchants will also be participating, including Blue Giraffe, Old Florida Outfitters, the WaterColor Logo Store and WaterColor Workout.
