Autumn Dinner
Well, it is officially Fall, but you wouldn't know it here in Jacksonville. In any event, our thoughts have turned to the colors of Fall, the Harvest and the unique events such as Octoberfest and Thanksgiving.
An exceptional dinner at Epping Forest Yacht Club recognized these annual changes. We hope they also signify the end of hurricanes and profuse persperation! All the wonderful foods and drinks we all have come to associate with this season were incorporated into this spectacular Autumn celebration.
Our thanks to Epping Forests' new Executive Chef and Food & Beverage Manager, who worked together to create this experience on a relatively short notice.
