July represents the peak Summer Season. The beaches are packed, the fish are biting, and there is plenty to look forward to all along the Scenic 98 Coastal waterfront. Here are Five July events worth considering. Of course, after the 250th celebration of our nation’s birthday, the Blue Angels will provide a spectacular weekend July 16 - 17 in Pensacola.

When I first heard Jacob Brock sing at a house concert in Fairhope, he was wearing his work clothes: a nice tucked-in button-down shirt and slacks.
