About Nassau County, FL

The 17th Annual Concours is this weekend, at the Ritz Carlton Amelia Island.

Over 300 cars will be on display this weekend, and the honoree is Vic Elford, who will be driving onto the field in his 1968 Porsche.

If you have never been, this is a wonderful event, perfect for a group of car enthusiasts. Hop the Mayport ferry for a shorter drive, bring a cigar to enjoy as you walk the golf course, and bring some cash for the beverages and food available on-site.

Parking is well-marked, but it may be easiest to park at the Fernandina Beach airport, and take the shuttle right to the event; sure beats parking in a questionable spot, and wondering if your car will be there when you get back.

The revered Amelia Island Plantation was purchased out of bankruptcy last year by the group that owns Omni Hotels & Resorts.

This breathtaking oceanfront resort has over 1200 acres along 3.5 miles of the Atlantic coastline. With the acquisition, I think most of us in the area anticipated some changes, we just were not sure when Omni would start on the work.

If you have not have the opportunity to visit the Plantation, and the Ritz Carlton also on Amelia, the holidays are a fabulous time to do so, with holiday lights and decorations, the annual gingerbread creation in the Ritz Carlton lobby, and the annual Shop in Your Pajamas morning in downtown Fernandina Beach!
