Recipes for Summer Parties - and A Contest!

Here's the scoop:

We're having a contest (sort of) at Caron's Beach House. I spent about 3 hours writing and sending out the "Beach Club Member"  newsletter this morning full of fun recipes to enjoy with friends, and then I got to thinking about all of the blog readers that may not receive the newsletter..  So, thought maybe I should extend the contest to all of the blog readers too!

Happy Summer!

School's out..graduations are done.. time for vacations,  it's that time of year when we want to invite family and friends over to spend time on the deck, at a sandy beach, on board the boat, or gathered around a roaring beach fire. Time to relax, kick back, enjoying the laid back feel of summer sun 
and sea breezes....

**We're having a contest!  We're inviting our friends to share their favorite appetizer, dessert or cocktail concoctions,  just drop us a line! The first 5 that we receive will win a $10.00 gift certificate  from Caron's + we'll publish your recipe on the next newsletter!  (or blog post with credit given to you and your blog)

I am so looking forward to trying ALL of them! (Tom is excited too!) Here's where to send your entry: thebeachclub@caronsbeachhouse.com
