Welcome (to you and me)!

Do you love Downtown Panama City as much as I do?  I hope so because we need more people with that kind of passion to help Downtown prosper!  I created this blog so that everyone can find out what is happening Downtown on a weekly basis.  Yes, I can put it on Facebook, but there is always so much stuff that some of it doesn't make it into the status update.  Who really wants to read a status update that is more than a few lines?  This blog is where you can find out what sales and special events each merchant is having, what there is to do on a week night in Downtown, what festivals are going on, and just find out what Downtown Panama City has to offer!

Tonight, Avenue Sea is having a class night.  At this class you can learn "Cool Ideas for a Hot Summer."  All of their classes are absolutely FREE, but you must register beforehand.  You never know what great incentives they may have exclusively for class members!  To learn more about Avenue Sea and the classes, visit www.avenueseapc.com.

Also happening tonight is a Zumba class at the Dance Life Dance Studio! This is a great way to get fit while having fun!  Tomorrow, you can join me for Lunchtime Zumba Blast at 12:15.  This is a 30 minute fast-paced class.  It is a great opportunity for those of us that have a busy week to get in a great workout.  The lunchtime classes take place on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:15.  If you can't make it at lunch, then come tomorrow night for the hour long class beginning at 7pm, Thursday night at 6pm, or Friday morning at 9am!  If you are young at heart and want to join this new fitness craze, there is a class just for you on Thursday morning at 9am. They also have a whole line up of dance classes this week.  The classes include the west coast swing and cha cha, rhythm. smooth, and Latin.  Friday they are hosting a Latin Social Group and Dance Night for just $10 a person. Visit their website www.pcdancelife.com for more information or call the studio at 850-215-4453.

The Visual Arts Center has Rob Vander Zee's "Visions of Paradise" on exhibit that you can take in during their regular business hours.  Thursday night from 5pm to 7pm, join them for the opening reception for the "Eden Revisited" exhibit.  A lot of people have been attending their "Paint Your Art Out" events.  There are 3 nights of that this week.  Those dates are June 27,28, and 30.  These event nights tend to fill up quickly, but you might be able to get in to one of them or be added to a waiting list.  Call 850-769-4451 for more information and to reserve your spot for a future event.

Friday morning at 10:30am, you can make wire mesh earrings at the LH Bead Gallery.  There is a $25 instructor's fee.  The LH Bead Gallery has an extensive inventory of beads to choose from to make beautiful pieces of jewelry for yourself or as a gift to someone special (you know, Christmas is just around the corner. Hobby Lobby has the ornaments to prove it). Visit www.lhbeads.com for more information.



As you can see, there is a lot going on in Downtown Panama City! These are all of the events I know of that are taking place this week.  I may have left a few out, but I will post them on Facebook.   As always, our shops and restaurants are open daily and always have that unique item you just can't live without and that delicious dinner for a great price! Be sure to check out the "Downtown Deals" at www.pcdib.com for some great coupons!

Like I said, I will be posting on a weekly basis, most likely on Monday, so be on the look out! I know it is Tuesday afternoon, so please forgive me.  I will try my best to stick to the Monday schedule!
