Coming soon, the Hangout Music Festival will be back on the beautiful Gulf Shores public beaches May 20 - 22. The Festival began in 2010 and has grown through the years bringing in more than 40,000 fans a day to the last festival in 2019. Hangout 2020 and 2021 did not happen due to Covid and loyal fans expect this comeback year to be better than ever. This beachside festival is considered one of the top destinations in the world for musical entertainment. The 2022 line up includes more than 80 acts. From Grammy award winning artists to local talent who won the battle of the bands to take the stage, year after year the Hangout Music Fest delivers the best names in pop, rock, rap, dance music and more but itrsquo;s the festival perks and location that makes this music fest a top-tier event. Located on the sugar white sands of the Gulf Shores public beach adjacent to the Hangout Restaurant, the Hangout Music Festival provides 13 separate experience areas where festival goers can enjoy everything from cooling off in swimming pools, swaying to the Gulf breezes in hammocks, enjoying delicious food, beach volleyball, a tropical spa, morning yoga sessions, sailing, roller disco and so much more. Anyone wanting a break from all that the festival has to offer can enjoy the many activities that the Gulf Coast provides. Whether itrsquo;s shopping, dining, amusement parks or water activities, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and the surrounding community has something for everyone. The Gulf Coast provides many of the options of a big city all with a small town feel and southern charm. The festival offers a shuttle service that runs every 30 minutes, making it easy for festival fans to enjoy the sun, sand and sweet music. What does the Hangout Music Festival mean to real estate investors? Hangout Fest provides national exposure, nationwide advertising, brings business to the area and gives back to the community with local community philanthropy and engagement.

Hangout Fest provides national exposure, nationwide advertising, brings business to the area and gives back to the community with local community philanthropy and engagement. National Exposure - when people talk about the Hangout Festival they talk about Gulf Shores. Once an unknown, sleepy, fishing village located at the bottom of the state of Alabama on the beautiful Gulf Coast, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach are now well known vacation destinations bringing in 6.1 million visitors to Alabamarsquo;s coastal destination in 2019. National Advertising ndash; Hangout Fest brings in the music industrys top talent. It is also co-produced by Goldenvoice, the company behind Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Itrsquo;s not just the Hangout Festival that is being advertised and talked about, the Alabama Gulf Coast is being promoted as well. Tourism ndash; Beyond the 40,000 fans a day that are enjoying all that the Gulf Coast has to offer during Hangout Fest, these fans are falling in love with the area and returning year round for family vacations or weekend getaways. Community Engagementnbsp;- the Hangout Music Festival has sought to uplift the local community by investing in the area. Most recently $100,000 was donated to Gulf Shores City Schools to build a state of the art music lab including a recording studio, musical instruments and stage complete with sound and lighting. I personally live in Gulf Shores because I love the small town, big beach. There is always something to do but with the southern charm of a small town. I own and rent condominiums on the beach because they are a great investment. My units more than pay for themselves with the rent they bring in. If you are interested in our small town, big beach, give me a call. I would love to help you find a property that is right for you. You can reach me, Mike Cranston, directly at 251- 504-1121 or on my website at www.condoinvestment.com

Auburndale Announces Date for 2024 Christmas Parade

Auburndale to Host Disabled Waterski Nationals in September 2024

1 week ago

"Auburndale lake is one of the busiest in water sports AUBURNDALE – After hosting six tournaments in less than eight months – with another 11 slated for 2024 – the Championship Lake at Lake Myrtle Sports Park, a recent addition to Auburndale’s sports business cluster, has quickly paid big dividends. From the Florida State Championships of the Florida Water Ski Federation in July to the IWWF Barefoot Worlds Open, Under 23 and Juniors in October, the championship lake will be one of the busiest bodies of water in the state. “And thanks to the hard work of the folks at adaptive water ski organization Ann’s Angels and PCTSM staff, we were just awarded the 27th Disabled Waterski National Championships and Team Trials in September,” said the Director of Polk County Tourism and Sports Marketing, Mark Jackson. “This is one of the premier adaptive events in the nation. Those who compete here and win will mostly go on and represent the county on Team USA.” The event will be Sept. 16-21. Historically, Polk County has served as the heart of the water ski world, thanks to Cypress Gardens. Many professional tour water skiers either got their start there or worked there during the offseason. Thanks to this long and storied history, more water ski records have been broken on Polk County lakes than anywhere else in the world. More recently, with the rise of adaptive sports, adaptive water sports have grown. In fact, Team USA took home the gold at the 2023 IWWF Disabled Water Ski World Championships. “Adaptive athletics are one of the fastest growing segments in the business,” said Jackson. “And nearly 20 percent of the population in the United States suffers from some kind of disability. Athletics not only hones the body, it strengthens the mind and sharpens the spirit – for everyone.” The history of adaptive sports dates back to the end of World War II, when a veteran who specialized in alpine warfare taught two of his friends – who had lost legs in combat – to ski on one leg. From there, adaptive sports have grown to include a wide variety of games and events for people who have disabilities.

Minor League Baseball Tryouts Coming to Davenport, FL

2 weeks ago

"Think you’ve got the stuff to be a Boy of Summer? Here’s your chance to turn those backyard homerun dreams into professional baseball reality. The Pioneer Baseball League, a professional minor league and an official partner of Major League Baseball, will be holding tryouts at Northeast Regional Park in Davenport from March 30 to April 2. A similar camp will be held in Arizona in late April. Managers, coaches and scouts from all 10 Pioneer League clubs will be on-site. The comprehensive pro-style four-day camp will be open to all eligible prospective professional players with no more than three years of professional experience. The PBL also announced that its Tryout Camps will be operated in partnership with BaseballCloud and Yakkertech, industry leaders in advanced analytics, player data, and scouting, and their baseball camp operations partner, Prospect Wire. Under the umbrella of DS Sports Ventures, these partnerships will add state of the art technology and operational expertise to ensure each prospect has ample opportunity to showcase their skills. The Pioneer Baseball League Player Draft will immediately follow each camp, with the clubs committed to signing at least one player from each camp to a 2023 Spring Training contract. Additionally, all prospects in attendance will leave with a professional prospect profile on Diamond Connect that includes their career stats and their performance in the professional drills and advanced analytics during the showcase. Over the past two years over 300 prospects have attended PBL tryout camps, with 47 players drafted by PBL clubs. Several players attending PBL tryout camps have gone on to be signed by Major League Clubs. During the tryout camps, prospects will undergo pro-style workouts during which scouts will evaluate athletic ability as well as batting, pitching and fielding skills. These evaluations will include extended infield/outfield sessions, two days of bullpens for pitchers, batting practice sessions, and multiple live scrimmages. The Pioneer League is an independent baseball league that operates in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States.
