Ramblin' with Rashad
During the week of June 2nd the Emerald Grande played host to The Gator Connection. Fred and Danny Wuerffel headlined a very successful fund raiser on June 3rd in conjunction with the Emerald Coast Gator Club. An estimated 250-300 Gator fans attended the event and enjoyed great food and fellowship. Both Danny and Fred entertained the crowd with some great stories and memories from the 1996 national championship season. Proceeds from the evening went to benefit the Desire Street Ministry. Our thanks go out to Rik Bos, Todd Royall and Chad Wallace for their outstanding hospitality.

Legendary, Inc.'s Rik Bos emcee's the Gator party on June 3rd.

We are planning additional Gator events at the Emerald Grande in July and August so check back often for additional information. In the meantime, if you are looking for a first class vacation experience consider the Emerald Grande. You will not find a better place to relax and unwind!

One of the great things about Destin in the summer is that there seems to be a party every weekend.

Is this a party or what? Fred gears up for the Billy Bowlegs celebration.
