Jupiter Fall Classic- Pro-Am Surf Contest

The 9th Annual Jupiter Fall Classic Surf Contest is being held this weekend. Sunday November 22 is the finals!

Come on out to the Jupiter Civic Center at Carlin Park on one of the nicest beaches in all of Florida.

We went to Carlin Park in Jupiter Florida today to celebrate our grandson's first birthday.
While we were there, Nestor and I took a walk along the beach taking some great photos when we noticed that there were a lot of surfers in the water.

Then we heard music and more people showing up.
We decided to go and check it out.

That is when we met Mike Bloom the President of the Western Atlantic PRO Surf Series.
Mike gave us an overview of the surf contest event. Mike took time out of his busy day with this event to stop and talk with us about some of the highlights.

There were a lot of surfers and onlookers at this event.
Our son loves to surf so we checked out the Kids Surf camps for next summer!
This will be a great way for him to get some good surfing instruction. I love to watch surfing but you won't see me on a surfboard!
I lived in Hawaii for 5 years and watching surfers surf at North Shore was one of my favorite events.

Kona Brewing Company is one of the main sponsors of this event along with many other companies.

Tomorrow morning, Sunday at 7 a.m. the competition resumes with great surfing talent on display.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. there is a FREE Surf Camp for kids hosted and sponsored by the Brandollini Foundation and Blue Water School of Surfing.

There is live music, food and drinks available.

Sunday night starting at 5 p.m. is the awards ceremony and closing party with live music at Guanabanas featuring the Mystic Roots Band.

Listing date: January 15, 2009.
Sale date: November 20.2009

Aida, the seller of this property was an absolute joy to work with.

She is one classy lady, who was recently widowed and no longer needed such a big house.
Aida and her departed husband had quite the life together and a very interesting family history which she was very excited to share with us when we met with her to list her home.

How did we get her listing?


She called us because we sent her our expired listing package.

Aida tried to sell it her house with another agent that we know in our area but their personalities did not click and the list price was too high.
Nestor was very clear with showing her with documentation of her competition and the market's declining values.

We take one year listing agreements and during that time we helped Aida see the current market values for her square footage in her neighborhood.

The selling feature to this property is that it is in Binks Preserve- a very sought after Lennar built community on a golf course close to all the Equestrian events and popular schools.

We knew in the beginning that this listing would sell which is the number one factor in whether we take on a listing or not.

Best of Saturday- SalsaFest at Greenacres Community Park is happening tomorrow Saturday November 21!

If you are looking for a great time make it over to Salsafest! Just right outside of Wellington Florida, right off of 10th and Jog- you will be able to enjoy great Latin Salsa music. They are expecting at least 12,000 people.

This event is hosted by the Palms West Chamber of Commerce.

There will be three world renowned Salsa musical acts.

Rey Ruiz was born in Havana Cuba who's latest album is at the top of the charts. He will be the closer at SalsaFest. Ruiz defected from Cuba on one of his singing tours to the Dominican Republic. He then came to the U.S and started recorded his Salsa music. We are blessed to have Rey's talent among us. One of his albums earned him the title of "Salsa Singer of the Year". He has earned many awards and has a platinum album.

Lalo Rodriguez from Puerto Rico and Anthony Cruz from New Jersey are also going to be entertaining everyone with their talented Salsa music.

Make sure you get there in time for the Chihuahua Races that start at 3 p.m!

No Salsafest is complete without a Dominoes competition which starts at 1 p.m.

Don't forget to stop by and support the Latin Business booths.

Ah, the delicious Sizzling Salsa Cooking is going to be yummy! The mayors of different towns around here are also going to be having a cook off. Even children chefs are going to get in on the act and have a young chef competition.

This year's event is made possible by the very generous support of Dr Jose Ortega from the Palms Wellington Surgical Center, the Center for Joint and Bone Surgery and Optimal Wellness. This is they way that events in the private sector work. We get together, donate time and money together out of our own free will and desire to help and promote cultural awareness and support.

Children get to get into SalsaFest for Free for seven and under. Adults are $10 per ticket or $30 for a family of four. A part of the proceeds will be donated to the City of Greenacres Department of Leisure services to help them keep their award winning youth programs. Their youth programs reach out to underprivileged children in the Greenacres Community.

Come on out and join in on the fun!
