Lions Tale Adventures Catches Clients Hearts! As the saying goes… “Teach a man to fish and you will feed him for a lifetime.” Captain Lionel James, owner, operator and captain of Lions Tale Adventures has been teaching our clients to fish this year...and feeding their hearts for a lifetime! At the beginning of 2018, Captain James came to The Arc of the Emerald Coast with a mission to include the men and women we serve in a Lions Tale Adventure! Monthly, Captain James donates a fishing trip; each trip awards three Arc clients an experience few get to have! Captain James helps our clients bait, cast, reel, and hook fish along the Choctawhatchee Bay. Afterward, in partnership with The Gulf Okaloosa restaurant, our new anglers are treated to lunch and share their big fish “Lions Tale” adventure! The open air, salt on the skin, and experience of catching a fish brings light and joy to all. The Arc of the Emerald Coast thank Captain James for seeing the value in the lives he has touched with his generosity. The Arc of the Emerald Coast looks forward at these continued adventures and the memories made! We encourage anyone looking for a fishing charter to book with Lions Tale Adventures! Having a BLAST at the Blueberry Bash in Milton Blueberries were bursting in the fields as hundreds came out to pick the bushes clean at The Arc of the Emerald Coast’s annual Blueberry Bash, June 23rd in Milton. The Blueberry Bash has is an event the entire community looks forward to all year! From the early morning 5k race to the various vendors lining the property, the Blueberry Bash isn’t just for picking the delicious berries. The lively music encompasses the grounds and the smell of food and sweet treats feed the hearts of young and old. A true family experience, the Blueberry Bash brings everyone together and really shows the heart of The Arc of the Emerald Coast and our community. This year the new Community Development Coordinator for the Milton location, Josh Schwitzerlett, took the lead and implemented some wonderful additions to the event. Most notable, and well received, was the option for pickers to fill a bucket for a flat rate vs weighing per pound. The blueberry barn showed off the skills of The Arc’s resident green thumb, Jennifer. Also new this year is our Blueberry Cookbook which will be sold throughout the year. We can not wait to see how the Blueberry Bash bursts in coming years!
