Kick off the Weekend! February 10-12, 2012
What’s happening on the Emerald Coast this weekend?
What on earth will you do this weekend? If you have no idea, Life’s A Beach wants to help. We’ve highlighted a few of the area happenings for the upcoming weekend below for your convenience.
Multi-Day Events
Greater Tuna the hilarious play about Texas' third smallest town, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies, will be performed February 10th and 11th at the Destin Community Center on Stahlman Avenue. The eclectic band of citizens that make up this town are portrayed by only two performers, making this satire on life in rural America even more delightful as they depict all of the inhabitants of Tuna -- men, women, children and animals. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. both days.
Advance tickets may be purchased at www.MarinaCivicCenter.com or by calling 850.763.4696.
