Bikes or Bust tops their goal of 1,000 bikes

There will be so many children who will get a brand new bike this Christmas

It has been an amazing 2 months with Bikes or Bust. Jason Carducci came to me at the beginning of October and said he wanted to get started now and that his goal was to try and raise $10,000 to buy a ton of bikes for kids.

What started out as a single video and a YouCaring page, ended up with 17 “challenge” videos, multiple segments on EVERYTHING! and a few articles all to help our friends at Highway 98 Country beat their goal of 1,000 bikes.

Santa’s brother, Billy Claus, is coming to Lulu’s

Billy is Santa’s warm weather-loving brother who lives in the Caribbean

Santa Claus is coming to town, but if you need a more casual Clause experience (or don’t feel like seeing Santa), you might be interested in Billy Clause.

LuLu’s 3rd Annual Billy Claus and The LuLuBelles is a free event that is happening on Sunday, December 10, at noon.

Billy Claus is Santa’s warm weather-loving brother who lives in the Caribbean, but comes this way to help Santa during the Holiday season.

And who are The LuLuBelles, you might ask? Well, they are Billy’s version of Santa’s elves.

Billy will visit with the children to hear their wish list to pass on to Santa. Billy and the LuLuBelles will be available for photos with the children.

In addition to kid’s arts & crafts activities, Lucy Buffett will also be there for a reading of her children’s book, Billy Claus and the Spirit of Christmas.

LuLu’s is located in Destin at the foot of the Mid Bay Bridge, next to Legendary Marina.
