Sponsored this week by Kilombo Café

Fall has begun, blowing in with a quick fury that shut down the port briefly just as shrimp boats were heading out for beginning of the 2019-2020 season. Fall means we begin to usher in some of the best weather of the year, plus throw the gates wide open to events, events, and events as we make our way through October and November in particular.
