The Santa Suits on the Loose 5K is also this Saturday. Okay, not really in the entertainment part of St Augustine, but I have lots of friends who will be running and then popping in for a libation afterwards at a few of our fun pubs or bars in town. So, I guess that actually works. If you see lots of folks dresses like Santa, you’ll know what they’ve been up to. Then on Saturday night is the Regatta of Lights starting at 6:00pm at the bay front. Don’t miss the 20th Annual Holiday Tour of Bed & Breakfast Inns. Don’t have your ticket. Check out http://www.StAugustineBandBTour.com or call 800-824-6062
