Yummm...Donuts! Weber's Little Donut Shop

Who doesn’t love a good donut? When I was little, I used to think a donut from Dunkin was a treat.

They are going to celebrate their first anniversary this week, and you have to go check them out on your next St. George Island vacation! I asked Layla Weber to tell

It's Chili Cook-Off Time!

It’s one of the biggest weekends of the year…it’s the St. George Island Chili Cook-off! The Chili Cook-off is arguably the most attended event on St. George Island all year. Nearly 5,000 people are expected to gather in order to sample some delicious food and enjoy the different sites. The Chili Cook-off is a fundraising event for the SGI Volunteer Fire Department. The winner with the best chili wins $500. This is such a big deal, that it is sanctioned by the Internation
