Deck the Chairs celebrates 6th season with ‘A Chair Affair’

Posted

In honor of its sixth season in Jacksonville Beach, Deck the Chairs hosted A Chair Affair — an evening of “sipping, sampling and supporting” — on July 18 at the Casa Marina Hotel, raising more than $16,000 for the organization’s annual holiday festivities.

Sponsored by a host of local businesses, organizations and philanthropists, the event featured food and wine samplings, a silent auction and live jazz music performed by Junco Royals. Refreshments were provided by Salt Life Food Shack, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Campeche Bay Cantina, TacoLu and Taste! Auction items included gift certificates and gift baskets loaded with merchandise donated by local businesses, as well as tickets to local sporting events, such as the Jaguars and the Jumbo Shrimp.

A Jacksonville Beach tradition since 2012, Deck the Chairs continues to bring the joy and light of the holiday season to the Beaches each year. Through the artful decoration of lifeguard chairs by local businesses and organizations, the event seeks to promote the arts and foster pride and involvement in the greater community.

This year, Deck the Chairs will begin Nov. 23 and will continue through Jan. 1 in Jacksonville Beach. To learn more, visit www.deckthechairs.org.
